Question

OneNote New note in Section doesn't trigger my Zap

Hi,

 

I’ve just created a Zap with a OneNote New note in Section trigger,

I’ve chosen the right section (which is not a grouped section) and created a new note inside it.

But even after waiting 15 minutes (even 1 hour to be honest), I still can’t see my note appearing inside the test section of my zap configuration (see screenshot bellow)

 

​​​

My OneNote is correctly synchronized, and the zap Account section is correctly link to the right OneNote account.

Do you have an idea of the issue ? Maybe the schedule frequency is more than 15 minutes despite what we can read in the documentation ? Or something else ?

 

Appreciate your help

 

Thank you,

Hi @zapzapval 

Good question.

Have you tried turning the Zap ON and testing live?

NOTE: The Zap trigger is scheduled, meaning it can take from 1-15 minutes to fire depending on your Zapier plan.

Yes I tried turning the Zap ON, and it seems like it finally got triggered, but definitely not between 1 to 15 minutes :(

Does someone have more information on the exact check frequency ?

You would need to provide more proof in the form of screenshots with timestamps to show when you added the note and when the Zap Run fired.

Sure @Troy Tessalone , thank you for your help.

 

Zap is ON :

 

Zap history :

 

Last note created :

 

Current time :

 

 

Time between current time and last note creation : 6.45 - 6.20 = 25 minutes > 15 minutes

Will update you when (if) the zap is triggered.

Scheduled Zaps triggers are supposed to fire within the designated time based on your Zapier plan.

 

If you have a Zapier paid plan, then you can try opening a ticket with Zapier Support to have then investigate further: https://zapier.com/app/get-help

 

There are Sections in my Notebook but the New Note in Section Trigger does not show them.

This can happen if you are using Section Groups. We can only see Sections that have not been placed in a Section Group.

As you can see below, the 3 Sections I've put into a Section Group don't appear in Zapier.

I’m in the free plan, so according to the documentation, it should be 15 minutes, which is not.

 

I don’t use grouped sections.
