What are the execution states in Zapier?

Zapier is a powerful tool for workflow automation, but to use its full potential, it is essential to understand the different states in which your tasks can be. This knowledge will allow you to identify problems quickly and keep your processes running smoothly. In this section, we will explore five critical states that your Zaps executions can acquire: successful, stopped, waiting, executing and held.

What does it mean for a task to be in the "successful" state?

The "successful" state is the simplest to understand. It means that your Zapier flow has executed correctly without any hiccups. It is the goal you are looking for in all your tasks, ensuring that all steps of your SAP have been completed as planned. This status assures you that data has been transferred and actions have been performed as you set them up.

Why might a task be "stopped"?

The "stopped" status usually indicates that something has not gone as you expected. There are two main reasons for a task to stop:

  • Serious Error: This can be caused by significant failures in the execution of your Zap, such as authentication errors or critical configuration issues.

  • Failed Connections: Sometimes, it is due to the inability to properly connect to one of the built-in applications. A common example would be trying to update a contact in a platform such as Mailchimp. If the contact is a duplicate, Mailchimp will inform Zapier, which will mark the task as stopped, but it will only affect that specific action.

What does the "waiting" status imply?

The "waiting" status occurs in flows where you have scheduled intentional waits between actions. For example, if when registering a person for an event you want to send them a reminder email 24 hours later, the Zap will show the "waiting" status until the scheduled time is up. This feature is useful for handling actions that depend on certain time frames.

When is the "running" status displayed?

The "running" status indicates that the task is in the process of being completed at that precise moment. You can see this status when you review the execution of a task in real time. It informs you that the automation flow is active and actions are being processed.

Why might a task be "held"?

Although less common, the "held" state occurs in situations where there is a large volume of simultaneous tasks, usually more than a hundred. Zapier organizes the execution of these tasks to ensure that they are processed efficiently and sequentially. Once the tasks are completed, their status will be updated to successful or the corresponding status based on their execution.

By understanding these statuses, you will be better equipped to handle any hiccups that arise in your Zapier workflows. This skill is crucial to maintaining the efficiency and success of your automations. If you encounter an error, we recommend that you consult Zapier's detailed documentation for specific solutions. Keep exploring and honing your automation skills, the path to smoother process management is at your fingertips.

Estados de procesamiento en que pueden quedar las tareas (tasks) de un Zap:

  • Exitoso: Zap ejecutado de manera exitosa.
  • Detenido: Zap detenido por error grave en la ejecución de la(s) tarea(s) o por falla en la conexión con alguna app.
  • Esperando: Zap a la espera de completarse dado que el flujo de automatización incluye una ejecución en espera. Ej: Flujo incluye, posterior al trigger inicial, envío de un correo programado para X día y hora a futuro, este flujo no se concretará hasta que el mail sea enviado en la fecha y hora pospuesta.
  • Ejecutando: Tarea en proceso de ejecución
  • Retenido: Suele suceder por ejemplo, al ejecutar 100 o más tareas a la vez, estas irán procesándose una a una de manera ordenada. Hasta que no se lleve a cabo el procesamiento completo, se indicarán como “Retenidas”.

Este curso es demasiado útil! Y el profesor increíble. Se me ocurren bastantes formas de implementar esta aplicación en pequeños y medianos negocios. Ahorita resulta complicado realizar estas actividades automáticas para la gente ajena a estos temas. Aquí es donde podemos ayudar a esos negocios 😉

Estados de ZAP

  • Exitoso
  • Detenido
  • Esperando
  • Ejecutando
  • Retenido

Aquí un poco más de profundidad de la información del estado retenido, aquel estado suele suceder por 4 razones específicas:

  • Uso elevado de tareas: Zapier evita que se automaticen tareas por error, por lo cual evita que más de 100 tareas se ejecuten simultáneamente al mismo.
  • Conexión de la aplicación: La conexión con alguna de las cuentas de las aplicaciones utilizadas no se encuentra activa, por lo cual para solucionar este problema hay que volver a conectar la cuenta de la aplicación (seguramente ya caduca) y ejecutarlo nuevamente.
  • Actualización necesaria: Según el plan que tenga uno, puede que hayamos excedido el límite de tareas o ZAPS, o tengamos una aplicación premium que no sea compatible, por lo cual deberemos actualizar el Plan Zapier para nuestras necesidades.
    -**Problema de pago: **Se debe a que la información de pago de nuestra cuenta que ha caducado, por lo cual debemos actualizarla.

Success: the Zap ran and completed successfully.
Filtered: the Zap had a filter that prevented it from continuing.
Stopped: the Zap ran into an error while running. If a Zap hits too many errors in a row, it will be automatically paused.
Waiting: the Zap is waiting to complete. Zaps that have a Delay step or are scheduled to Autoreplay will have this status.
Playing: the Zap is currently running.
Holding: the Zap is being held for one of a few reasons.

Tengo una duda, si necesito que se ejecuten diferentes ZAP y son más de 100 tareas en simultáneo me arrojará el error de retenido, o es solo con un solo ZAP ?
