Zapier errors / Timeout

The app did not respond in time. It may or may not have completed successfully.

platform: Zapier / category: Timeout

Cause

The connected app took longer than Zapier's ~30s execution window to respond, typically when querying a large dataset or uploading a large file.

Fix

For triggers, add filters to reduce returned data; for actions, split the work into smaller steps. Reconnect the app account and re-test after a few minutes, since transient slowdowns self-resolve. Enable Autoreplay so Zapier retries the timed-out step automatically.
