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

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