Zapier Support From: TXXXXXX DXXXX, Executive Director, North Idaho Alliance of Care Email:  Zap Name: North Thread Chat Bot Zap Status: Draft Mode (Blocked by Testing Errors)

I'm Theresa , founder of North Thread™, a trauma-informed digital recovery program serving rural young adults ages 18–30. I hold paid subscriptions to Zapier and OpenAI and have configured a chatbot workflow that is fully scoped, branded, and verified.

Despite correct configuration, Zapier’s testing infrastructure is failing across multiple steps:

  • Step 1: Schedule trigger test fails
  • Step 4: Webhook to OpenAI fails despite valid API key and JSON structure
  • Step 5: Glide Edit Row test fails due to missing response fields from Step 4

These failures are not due to user error. They reflect platform-level instability that is actively blocking the deployment of essential mental health technology.

Business Impact:  This delay prevents trauma-informed digital support from reaching vulnerable rural youth. North Thread™ is not a hobby project — it is healthcare infrastructure. I am delivering scope-safe, non-clinical emotional support in real time, and your platform is the bottleneck.

Configuration Verified:

  • API key: Valid and active
  • Endpoint: https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions
  • Headers: Proper Authorization and Content-Type
  • JSON: Structured correctly
  • Field mappings: Accurate
  • Glide connection: Live and authenticated

Request:  Immediate technical escalation and manual override to publish the Zap despite test failures. I am not requesting troubleshooting guides — I am demanding resolution and accountability for a paid service that is blocking healthcare delivery.

Hi ​@TRMD 

If you are looking to hire help, there is a directory of Zapier Partners: https://zapier.com/partnerdirectory

 

Otherwise, for us to have more context, you will need to post screenshots showing how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in the CONFIGURE tab while in EDIT mode so we can see the field mappings and field types, along with any encountered errors.
