Common problems
Why am I not able to view YouTube's history after 30 days of execution?
Zoho Flow's History stores the execution history of an application's triggers and actions. Depending on your subscription plan, the history is retained for 60 to 90 days. To comply with YouTube's API Services Terms of Service, Zoho Flow will store only 30 days of execution history for YouTube triggers and actions (currently, no actions are available for YouTube), while the triggers and actions for all other apps will continue to be stored for the duration specified in your plan.
