 * Hello, I am having an issue that is turning my zaps off. I am getting an usual
   error 401 due to a missing API key. The connection between WordPress and Zapier
   is linked by OAuth, not through API key. Then you make a connection test and 
   you avoid the error for a while (hours), but at the following day, the zap is
   off again. I don’t know if the error is because of the plugin or because of Zapier,
   but I need it to stop or I would need to find an alternative to Zapier to do 
   this.
