Hi @Piyush Sinha 

Good question.

Please post detailed screenshots with how your Zap steps are configured in order for us to have context, thanks.

Hi there @Piyush Sinha, just checking back in since it’s been a few days. Have you had a chance to work this out yet? If not, please add some screenshots of your Zap so we can take a closer look, as Troy mentioned, it’s possible this is due to the set up of your Zap but we won’t know without visibility.
