Within the Zap editor, when you try to publish your Zap, a dialog box appears that says “Upgrade to Pro to publish this Zap”, preventing you from publishing it.

Causes

This happens when you're on a free Zaps plan and your Zap contains:

More than one action (Multi-step Zap). This includes filters or search actions.
A premium app.

How to fix it

To publish this Zap, you must either:

Start a Pro trial to access Zaps paid features for 14 days, unless you previously used a Pro trial.
Upgrade your Zapier account to a Pro plan or higher.
