Zapier errors / Schema

Halted exception. Nothing could be found for the search

platform: Zapier / category: Schema / code: halt

Cause

A Search action returned zero results, which Zapier treats as a hard halt unless configured to continue on empty results.

Fix

In the search action's Configure tab, enable 'Should this step be considered a success when nothing is found?' (or the 'Create record if not found' option). Verify the lookup value matches exactly (spaces, case, numeric vs string). For legitimately-absent data, add a Paths or Filter step to handle the empty branch.
