Zapier: Trigger test fails due to 30s timeout on large dataset download #136

Description

@drobnikj

Describe the bug
When testing a "Finished Actor Run" Zapier trigger, the test step fails if the run's dataset is too large to download within Zapier's 30-second timeout. The timeout error is not handled gracefully and is propagated directly to the user.

To Reproduce

  1. Set up run with large dataset, e.g. Zillow Details Scraper (example https://console.apify.com/actors/ENK9p4RZHg0iVso52/runs/6oJarXPybAdEtQC4f)
  2. In Zapier, create a Zap using "Apify > Finished Actor Run" as the trigger, listening for the Zillow Details Scraper
  3. Run the test step in Zapier
  4. See error — no runs are pulled due to the dataset download timing out

Expected behavior
The 30-second timeout should be caught before it propagates to the user. Instead of showing an error, it should be logged as a warning internally, and the user should see a meaningful message.
