Hi ​@rishinhr 

The error message you're seeing indicates a server-side issue on Buffer's end.

However, I recommend you open a support ticket with our email support team for more assistance with this. They’ll need to review the Zap and Zap runs in order to provide accurate troubleshooting of the issue.

You can submit a new ticket here - https://zapier.com/app/get-help

Hey ​@rishinhr, just checking in - were those errors due to a temporary issue on Buffer’s end as Danniemax suspected? 

Want to make sure you’re all set, so please let us know whether you still need any help! 🙂
