Allowing Zapier access to my alpaca accounts

 


Trying to change to paper trading account


As you can see above I am allowing Zapier access to my alpaca accounts but I can’t seem to change to the paper trading. I have tried going incognito but did not work the co pilot thinks its trading in paper but its not cause every time I try  to buy it says insufficient funds yet the paper account has 100k Thanks for help in advance.


Hey ​@Azza82,

I don’t think you can connect testing account to Alpaca through Zapier but only live accounts as it’s a limitation on the Alpaca Zapier integration. Hope it helps!


@Azza82 

Try reaching out to Alpaca Support for help with their Zap app integration which they created and manage on the Zapier Developer Platform.


Thanks Troy I have done that they said its a problem on your guys end which kinda makes sense cause you can see it detects both accounts.
