FAQ and Troubleshooting
Why do I get the Too Many Requests (HTTP Status → 429) error?
Your Zap or other integration with the Bearer Token is likely asking for or sending information to the app too frequently within a given timeframe.
Why do I get the Validation (HTTP Status → 400) error?
You will encounter this error if you have provided more than the allowed pagination limit. The limit per page is 100.
What causes a Zap Loop?
A popular use case for integrations is syncing Contacts. However, Zapier does not support syncing by default and attempting to do this may cause an endless loop.
Example:
Zap 1: When a Contact is created in YesHello, create a Contact in X app.
Zap 2: When a Contact is created in X app, create a Contact in respond.io.
Find the solution for this here.
What to do if my Contact Identifiers are Incompatible?
Certain apps that you may want to integrate with (e.g., HubSpot and Shopify) require an email address or phone number to identify a Contact. You may not have these for all your respond.io Contacts if they’re on channels that do not provide them such as Viber, Telegram or Facebook Messenger.
If you do not have the required email address or phone number, the Zap will not work. Set up a filter to avoid getting error messages. Alternatively, consider using Workflows to collect Contacts’ email addresses or phone numbers.
Will Zapier's messages open a Contact's conversation?
All messages that are sent via Zapier will not open a Contact's conversation. These messages are available in the closed Contact filter. Simply adjust the filter in the Messages module to view the messages sent via Zapier.
Why can't I mention a user in a comment on Make.com?
To mention a user in a comment on Make.com, use the format $userid$ rather than @userid.
