New Contact Apollo.io Trigger is not triggering my Zap

Hi!  Has anyone else had issues with the apollo.io Triggers?  I am initiating off of a new contact and that does not seem to be starting my Zap. The documentation with Apollo is unclear what exactly counts as a new contact- is it saving the contact to a list or a different step. 

Thanks!

Hey @KTinBK2, so sorry for the trouble here! Looking into this a bit, you might be experiencing a bug with the New Contract Trigger. Could you try turning your Zap off/on and then trying again to see if that helps? If not, let us know and we can add you to the bug report as an affected user.

Thanks @jesse!  I turned on and off and tried another new contact and I’m still not seeing the trigger work (not appearing in history either). 

I’m a consultant and the account for this is under a different user- should I flag a support case on that account too?

Hi @Jhatam and @AndrewJoe, I’m so sorry we missed your posts here previously!  

You’ve both been added to the list of folks being impacted by this issue. While I can’t provide any ETA as to when the Apollo app’s developers planning on resolving this we’ll be sure to notify you both by email the moment it’s fixed. 

I’m not super familiar with Apollo but it is possible for you to get an email notification from Apollo whenever a new contact is added?

If so, perhaps as a workaround you could try using an email parsing app as the trigger instead. For example you could set up a rule in your email account to automatically forward those email notifications to an Email Parser mailbox which would then parse out the contact’s information from the email. The Zap would be set to trigger on the forwarded emails that are parsed and then pass the relevant contact details to the subsequent actions in the Zap. If you are able to get email notifications sent to you for new contacts added in Apollo please check out our Trigger Zaps from new parsed emails guide for details on how to set up Email Parser as the trigger.

If you’re able to implement that workaround please let us know, keen to help get things up and running in the meantime. 🙂
