Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
Trigger Not Firing	Zapier connection expired	Reconnect Granola in Zapier
Missing Data	Note still processing	Add 2-min delay step
Rate Limited	Too many requests	Reduce Zap frequency
Format Errors	Data structure mismatch	Use Zapier Formatter

Best Practices

1. Add delays - Wait 2 min after meeting for processing
2. Use filters - Only trigger for relevant meetings
3. Test first - Use Zapier's test feature
4. Monitor usage - Check Zapier task limits
