Troubleshooting

Zapier integration requires Pro plan or higher. Upgrade your BubblaV plan in Dashboard > Billing.
  1. Verify your Zap is turned ON in Zapier
  2. Check that the website is correct
  3. Test the trigger manually in Zapier
  4. Review Zapier task history for errors
Ensure the conversation ID is valid and the conversation is still active. Closed conversations cannot receive new messages.
You’ve exceeded your monthly message quota. The Ask Question action counts toward your plan’s message limit. Upgrade your plan or purchase extra messages in Dashboard > Billing.
Go to Dashboard > Integrations, find Zapier, and click Disconnect. This will revoke access and stop all Zaps.
