Zapier Zaps Not Triggering? Fix Guide (2026)

Quick Fix: Most issues are solved by clearing cache, checking your subscription, or reconnecting your account. Try these fixes in order.

Fix #1: Zap not triggering

Check that the Zap is turned on. Verify the trigger app connection. Test the trigger to see if it finds new data.

Fix #2: Wrong data mapping

Use the ‘Test trigger’ button to see available fields. Check that you mapped the correct fields in your action steps.

Fix #3: Authentication errors

Reconnect your app account. Some apps expire tokens. Go to My Apps and reconnect the problematic app.

Fix #4: Task limit reached

Free plan: 100 tasks/mo. Check your task usage in Settings. Upgrade or optimize Zaps to use fewer tasks.

Fix #5: Multi-step Zap failing

Check each step individually. A failure in step 2 stops step 3. Add error handling with Paths.

Fix #6: Webhook not receiving data

Verify the webhook URL is correct. Check that the sending app is configured correctly. Test with a manual POST request.
