Zapier Agents: 1 h 13 min of Zap publishing errors, shorter than typical

What broke and for how long

Zapier Agents is Zapier's no-code builder for AI agents that act across 9,000+ connected apps, run on schedules or triggers, browse the web and call other agents. The incident started at Oct 16, 14:10 UTC and was resolved at 15:23 UTC. The status page rated the impact as major. It lists the problem as errors publishing Zaps from Guided Templates when app approvals were enabled. No components were listed, and the facts do not explain the cause.

How it compares with usual incidents

The typical incident for this product lasts 1 h 55 min, so this one ran 0.6x as long as usual. The longest in the past 12 months lasted 59 h 24 min. The status page shows 14 incidents over those 12 months, and 5 of them fell in the last 30 days, so incidents have been frequent recently even though this one was short.

Other products at the same time

One other product had an incident open during the same window: Bolt.new, with a Features → Prompting degradation that lasted 15 min. Nothing in the facts links the two events.

What it means for you

• Teams that publish Zaps from Guided Templates with app approvals enabled were the ones affected.
• If you publish Zaps on a deadline, check whether anything failed to publish between 14:10 and 15:23 UTC on Oct 16.
• Subscribe to alerts on AgentGid or the Zapier status page, given 5 incidents in 30 days.
• Keep a fallback agent or a manual process for the same job in case a longer outage occurs.
