Avoid errors and improve data quality in Zapier

Why is my Zap not triggering even though the event should be firing?

Zap triggers can fail for several reasons—such as the event never being sent, the data payload being malformed, or the integration not recognizing the event due to schema mismatches or unexpected values. Trackingplan helps you get to the root of the problem quickly by monitoring whether the event was actually sent, whether it reached Zapier, and whether its structure matched what the Zap expects. You get complete visibility into the data journey—from your website or app all the way to Zapier—so you can identify if the issue lies in the source, the format, or the integration itself. No more guessing or endless debugging.

How can I prevent developers from accidentally breaking my Zaps?

One line of code or a renamed field can silently break automations—especially when no one is monitoring for these changes. Trackingplan continuously validates your tracking and integration setup, detecting even the smallest changes that could impact Zaps, alerts, or downstream workflows. If a developer removes a field, renames an event, or alters its format, Trackingplan immediately notifies your team before it causes a breakdown. This proactive monitoring ensures your automations remain reliable, even as your product evolves.

My Zap was working yesterday, why did it stop today?

If a Zap suddenly stops working, it's often due to unnoticed changes in event names, properties, or structure. These kinds of changes can happen during a product update, a tracking refactor, or a platform migration. With Trackingplan, you get a complete changelog of all your events and properties—along with alerts whenever a tracked event is modified, added, or removed. This makes it easy to pinpoint exactly when and how your data flow changed, so you can resolve issues without having to dig through code or logs.

How do I know if Zapier and my analytics platform (like GA4 or Segment) are seeing the same data?

It’s common for different tools in your stack to show inconsistent data—whether due to filters, transformations, or data not being sent at all. Trackingplan compares event streams across all your platforms in real time—including Zapier, GA4, Segment, and others—so you can spot missing or mismatched events instantly. This ensures your automations, reports, and analytics are all running on consistent, trustworthy data. Instead of assuming everything is aligned, you’ll know it is.
