I just created and published a form submission Zap after following along with the “Build your first Zap” tutorial.  However, when I published it, I clicked on something before I could view whatever URL it was published to.  How do I find that URL?  I asked the Chatbot how to do it and it said to edit the Zap, go to the trigger, and find the webhook.  However, I couldn’t see how to do this from the instructions.  So how do I find the URL so I can test my Zap?  Thanks.

 

UPDATE:  I figured it out, but the online form isn’t sending an email.  Zapier will send an email when I had Zapier run a test, but when I submit the published form via my browser, no email arrives.  Are there some troubleshooting steps to go through to uncover the problem?

Are you using Zapier’s interfaces form or some other like Google form?

Make sure the Zap is turned on. It's a common oversight to have the Zap turned off after testing.

Submit the form through your browser as an end-user would, and monitor if the Zap triggers and sends the email.


I’m following along with the very first Zapier tutorial “Build your first Zap” by using a Zapier Submission Form and sending the form inputs to my Gmail account.  It’s kind of odd.  The form doesn’t show a Submit button, just the word “Submit.”  If I view the source, the <form> tag doesn’t have an action attribute so I’m guessing Zapier does something else behind the scenes to submit the form.

I can see the submit button, can you share a screenshot of your zap?

Also the trigger needs to be set as “form submission created” in your zap and you’ll have to select the form.


Certainly!

You know, it’s something with my browsers.  As you can see, if I open the link in Chrome or Firefox for Mac, there’s no styling at all.

 

However, when I open the form in Safari, it looks just fine!

Try hard reload and clearing the cache, It should work. I can open your form in Chrome and looks fine.


Clearing all my data didn’t help on either Chrome or Firefox for the Mac.  However, the page works fine in macOS Safari, DuckDuckGo, and my mobile browsers on my iPhone.  Very strange.  Hopefully, I won’t encounter this problem with everything I build with Zapier Forms.


Hi ​@robertfdev,

 

If you're experiencing issues with Zapier Forms on Chrome or Firefox, try these troubleshooting steps: update your browser, turn off extensions, reset browser settings, check firewall/antivirus settings, or use Incognito mode. Also, updating your Mac will fix the issue. 

 

Let us know if this helps you resolve your concern. Looking forward to your response.


The problem I was having displaying the form was caused by the Privacy Badger Chrome extension.  When I disabled it, the form displayed properly.  Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.
