This error is often the result of one of the following scenarios:

  • Your API credentials are no longer valid

To fix this issue, ensure the API credentials you provided to Zapier are up to date and entered into the corresponding fields.

The credentials provided on your Developer settings page are not presented in the same order as they are requested on Zapier. Make sure to enter the credentials into the correct fields.

If necessary, generate a new set of credentials and enter them into Zapier. You can generate new credentials by request new credentials from your Developer settings page.
