Copy new Google Drive files to Dropbox Zap doesn't trigger

The Zap I created to backup my Google Drive to Dropbox doesn’t trigger. I used template from thereCopy new Google Drive files to Dropboxbased on this articlehttps://zapier.com/blog/how-to-backup-google-drive/I configured everything properly, when I tested my zap - the file I uploaded into Google Drive was sent to dropbox into folder I specified in my zap options.So I turned on my zap, received a message:This Zap will use 1 task every time it receives an item from Google Drive. You'll be notified if there are any issues when your Zap runs.but from there the zap doesn’t trigger when I copy new file into my google drive, no matter how long I wait. More - when I manually run my zap I receive a messageWe couldn't find any new items.I sent new files to the main google drive directory, to folder etc. No matter what I do it doesn’t work. This is how I configured my zap, step by step:1. 2. 3. 4.  5. 6.  7.  8. This post has been edited by a moderator to remove sensitive information.

API rate limit issues when using Looping by Zapier

 Hi there, I am running into issues where the “Looping by Zapier” action is running the zap iterations in parallel at the exact same time leading to rate limit issues in the API that I am using (100 requests per 20 seconds). The “Delay After Queue” action seems to be working but the issue is that the minimum delay is 1 minute which means that it will take 60+ mins for the 60 runs of this zap that are needed. Is there any other way to do throttling/rate limiting with the “Looping by Zapier” action without having such long delays? Ideally looping by Zapier would perform the loop iterations in serial rather than in parallel, it would be nice to have this option in the setup of the looping by zapier action. I could revert to doing the looping using webhooks on either end of the zap instead of using looping by Zapier but I would like to use looping by Zapier because it is cleaner.

Trello custom fields not firing the New Activity trigger

We are trying to trigger a zap using a ‘Date custom field’ in Trello but its not working. Our zap goes like this - whenever a member inputs the date in the custom field, we wanted a certain email to be notified a week before the input date. The 3 key action was New Activity Trigger, Date format, and the sending of email. I heard New Activity trigger should catch activities in custom field as well but it doesn’t on this case. The trigger is working perfectly fine on other activities such as comments in card or changing of the Due Date, etc. Any ideas on what we’re missing?

Filter zaps being held if role doesn't match

My Zap - I get a new lead in my crm, zapier checks to see if the lead is owned by a sales rep, if it is, then zapier gets twilio to send a text to that salesperson’s cell phone. Where it gets caught up is when the lead owner is not a sales rep.

"authentication failed: The Zapier Wordpress Plugin has not been activated"

Hi there, I am trying to create a zap between Square and Wordpress, however the wordpress activation in Zapier is not working - it is saying the Zapier Wordpress plugin has not been activated even though it definitely has. I have deactived a security plugin and I can’t see any reason why it would be showing this, Any tips? I have not been show an “Allow” or “Accept” permission popup - where would this normally show? Or is the Zapier Wordpress Integration not functional at the moment? Thank you.

iAuditor not finding any report templates

I am wanting to integrate iAuditor with Dropbox - sending reports to a Dropbox file once completed in iAuditor. I have several inspections completed in iAuditor however when I go to set up a trigger it says that there are no reports templates in iAuditor to even test a trigger. In other words, the reports exist in iAuditor but zapier doesn’t seem to recognise them. Any help appreciated!

Quickbooks Customer Email Not Working

I’ve created a new zap that automatically creates a new invoice when a trello card is moved to a new list however…. when left blank, the email field should be picking up the default email for the customer however it’s not working and as a result the email isn’t being sent? I’ve checked everything twice and can’t see what i’m doing wrong.  The invoice is being created and everything else is working great, it’s just not assigning an email to the invoice and as such isn’t being sent...

Update Spreadsheet Row in Google Sheets not working as before

My previous zaps using “Update Spreadsheet Row in Google Sheets” allows me to see the columns in order to know which cell to update. I made a new zap with this same action but I am unable to see my columns. Without the columns, I cannot specify which cell in the row to update. Below is a screenshot of the action with the specified row but the columns are not showing.  Both zaps are using the action to find the row before updating it. I don’t work on the spreadsheets while I am working on the zaps so they’re not changing, there are no blank rows in the spreadsheets, and I have column headers. Could use some help identifying the problems here.

Monday.com New Item in Board tests not working - “An item could not be found”

Trying to create a zap where the trigger is when a new item is created in a specific board within monday.comThis was working until a few days ago, now with the newest choice of monday.com as the trigger app when trying to configure the first step and test it, the test comes back as “Test Trigger (error) An item could not be found. The app did not respond in-time. It may or may not have completed successfully.” and then future steps can’t be configured as certain columns don’t show up.I have tried all troubleshooting suggestions, reconnected monday, re-made zaps and nothing has helped rectify this issue. My connection is configured correctly. I have other zaps that connect with monday and work but these zaps are triggered by something other than monday.com. I’m only having a problem with any zap that is triggered by something in Monday.com and it’s only been since the introduction of the latest monday.com app connection option. Could someone please help

Test post not working? (Twitter - Discord)

I simply get nothing when running the test post.I’ve connected both twitter and discord. The bot is in the server, it’s role is at the top, but still nothing posts.It’s a regular channel, not an announcements, so I’ve already ruled that out.Is it broken or did I do something wrong? UPDATEI’ve also activated the zap and started testing it.First I posted then waited 5 minutes… Nothing…Then I went in and manually ran it. It found the new tweet and stated the posting to the discord channel was successful...nothing…It’s simply not working at all.UPDATE 2IFTTT worked well with no issues so I’ve switched to that.

Emailing back and forth is not working and need real live support. Is there a contact number or a way to be contacted by someone?

Bug? Match All option not working for Extract Pattern Step.

 I’m trying to set up a Zap that notifies our team members in Slack when they’ve been @mentioned in Intercom. I’ve got it working for single @ mentions left in a note, but can’t get it working if someone @ mentions multiple people in the same note.The more I look into it, the more it seems like something is broken in Zapier. While testing, I can see that Zapier uses re.findall() when you select the Match All property for Extract Pattern steps, so I flipped this on to account for multiple arguments.When I test this regex search in VSCode, the code works as expected. But in Zapier, it only returns the first value as if Zapier is still using re.search() instead of re.findall() behind the scenes. Am I missing something here or is this a bug? If so, how do I get this looked at? I can’t figure out how to reach the support team.​​​​​​

Looping issue with airtable value

I have a zap that loops through a single ID and will then modify multiple airtable records linked to that single ID. The Loop that I created will loop through the multiple IDs attached to this single ID.When I run the zap, it will only change the first two in the preview and not the last one (aka the one shown at the top and bottom of the screenshot | 3wpoFm…). Instead it double counts loop 1 (pzeoW….) in two separate zaps. What am I doing wrong here?

Handling Clearbit "Find Company by Domain" failure

Hi there, What is the best way to handle when the Clearbit "Find Company by Domain" action fails? As shown in the attached image “Should This Step Be Considered A "success" When Nothing Is Found?” has been set to true. In the subsequent Python step I use the “[Dummy]” value so that the Python code should never fail because “Cb_company” is empty in the case that Step 4 does not return a company name. However, as shown in the attached image Step 5 and the subsequent steps which are dependent on Step 5 fail because Step 4 fails. I do not think this should be happening since “Should This Step Be Considered A "success" When Nothing Is Found?” has been set to true but I wanted to ask the community first before reporting this as a bug to Zapier.

Hi All, We’re encountering a weird problem that’s completely new to us with our integration flow.Quick background:1. users submit a google form response2. zapier pulls the information from the gsheet that the gform results populate3. zapier then creates a JIRA issue with a bunch of fields autofilled with the various gsheet information saved4. the responses are pure text with no other media/content/etc This has worked for several months with no to minimal changes, which all test successfully and the changes just being what text is populating which fields. Recently, one of our most important zaps (of which there are multiple variations that do the same thing from other form responses and all still work except for this one) consistently failed to run with the error messageUnable to create issue: {"summary":"The summary is invalid because it contains newline characters."} Unfortunately, there’s little to no documentation around this issue. I changed up the Summary field character amount, r

Facebook Lead Ads not working / not triggering

Hi, since a few weeks, new zaps from Facebook Lead Ads are not sent. Defined flow: from FCBK to Mail (zoho). I noticed that the fields to be exported decreased (ex. creative name...) but even the “name” and “email address” that appears in the gathering fields, then the zap is not triggered and the lead is not sent. I tried to reconnect zapier with facebook and the connection and permissions seems OK.  any changes on GDPR from facebook that is causing any problem? any other ideas?

Email parser not extracting link to image attachments from Squirrelmail

Currently our customer fills out a Help Form that provides the ability to add an attachment to the form, this form is delivered to our Squirrelmail account where we utilize the email parser to extract the information from the email and create a ticket in our Zendesk account. When an attachment (typically an image) is included with these requests a link to the image is provided in a separate attachment section of the email that the parser does not seem to be picking up, it does see identify an attachment exists however it does not identify the links to the images.
