Replay full Zap runs and errors

When troubleshooting a Zap, you don't want to lose valuable data to an error. Now you can replay previous Zap runs using the current version of your Zap. That way, you can make as many fixes as you need without losing essential Zap runs.

Here's how it works: 

  1. Open the Zap runs view from the left sidebar in the Zap editor. 

  2. Click on a Zap run with an Errored status. 

  3. Above the trigger step, click Replay entire Zap.

  4. Only want to replay the errored step? Click Play from the left sidebar instead.

  5. Once your Zap or Zap step replays, check to see if it needs further troubleshooting.

We also made it easier to fix data errors while you're troubleshooting Zaps. When reviewing errored Zap runs within the editor, you can modify trigger data. Now, you don't have to re-trigger Zaps to test your fixes!

Ready to knock out Zap errors with confidence? Try these new tools now

Add error handling steps

That's not the only thing we added to your troubleshooting toolbox. Now in beta, you can add error handling steps to any Zap step and control how you want to handle certain errors. 

For example, if a critical Zap step fails and throws off the rest of the workflow, you can set up an error handler to stop the rest of the Zap and immediately alert your team. Think of error handling like your automated backup plan for Zap errors. 

Ready to make your workflows more resilient? Add error handling to your Zaps.

Try domain capture for Company accounts

Turn on domain capture within the settings of your enterprise Zapier account.

Domain capture is now available for Company accounts that use SAML SSO. When employees register with a verified domain, you can automatically add members to your company's Zapier account. 

Prevent shadow IT, ensure secure automation across your organization, and onboard new employees faster. 

Tip: Learn how to set up domain capture for your company's account.

Plan your bot-powered workflows in Canvas

Add existing chatbots or create new ones within Canvas.

Even a chatbot needs a blueprint, so we've included them in Zapier Canvas. Now in beta, Canvas is your AI-powered partner that helps you plan, diagram, and automate new workflows. Just create or open a canvas and add an existing chatbot. You can also create new chatbots within Canvas to quickly transform diagrams into fully automated processes with Zaps, Tables, and Interfaces.
