Question

Your Zap could not be turned on

I have now created several zaps, but the last zap won't turn on. I keep getting the message “Your Zap could not be turned on” and I have no idea why.

 

Duplicating an existing zap also causes this problem.

@creative bastards 

For us to have more context, post screenshots showing your full Zap Editor.

Showing how your Zap steps are outlined, how your Zap steps are configured, the encountered warning message.

Check the left rail for warnings that need to be addressed with the Zap steps.

Hey ​@creative bastards,

Please post screenshots of Data In, Data Out as well as how each Zap step is configured for us to have more context.


Sorry, I was a bit busy.

Hey ​@creative bastards,

Can you post the error message as well?

Hey ​@creative bastards,

Also did you see if it’s a draft as there is also one more scenario where publish button is disabled.

  • You cannot publish a Zap draft if it is the same as the current published version. The Publish button will remain disabled until you make changes to the draft.

Hope it helps!

Thank you for your help! This zap was indeed basically the same as the currently published version... I have now modified the existing one.
