Troubleshooting
Connection fails
- Verify your API token is valid and has not been revoked.
- Confirm your Base URL is correct and accessible from the internet.
- Check that your token has the required scopes (
readfor triggers,writefor actions).
Trigger not firing
- Zapier polls for new data at intervals (typically every 1-15 minutes depending on your Zapier plan).
- For near-real-time updates, consider using webhooks directly instead of Zapier triggers.
- Verify the template ID filter (if set) matches the template being signed.
Rate limits
DocuTrust enforces a rate limit of 120 requests per minute per API token. Zapier typically stays well within this limit, but high-volume Zaps with multiple actions may approach it. If you see429 Too Many Requests errors in your Zap history, add a delay step between actions.
