Avoid Removing Sample Data

HI! I’m in a trouble on an action validation warning.It say:“Try To Avoid Removing Sample DataDuring promotion, we compare features of your currently public version with your soon-to-be-public version.When you change/remove the email property of an item in your sample, Zap Templates that use that field become invalid. Try to avoid this when you can.”Here is my input field details: What am I doing wrong?

The manual run in Zap has been removed. Is there any way to bring that back?

I have confirmed from a Zap Chat responder that the latest “enhancements” removed the ability for one to manually run a Zap.I am pleading development to bring this feature back. As far as I’m concerned this is a basic necessity when it comes to Zap management.There are many times that I simply don’t have time to wait for the Zap to cycle around and pickup that it needs to execute on new data it is monitoring.Before I was able to right-click, menu select “Run Zap” and BINGO it ran the Zap real-time, grabbed any that were in the queue to run the next iteration and I was on my way. Now I have no choice but to wait anywhere from a few seconds to up to 15 minutes depending on where it is in the cycle.I can’t believe nobody else has an issue with this. If you feel the same, please reply so that Zapier sees how important this ability is.Thanks!

Updating API Endpoints in Published Zapier App

I'm developing a custom Zapier app (MOCONO) for a client and currently use the staging server's API for development and testing. My plan is to publish the app using these staging APIs.My question concerns updating the API endpoints after the app's public release. Specifically, I want to know if it's possible to change the API URLs used for authentication and triggers to point to the live server once the app is published. This would essentially involve updating the IP address in the API endpoints.If such a post-publication update is feasible, I can proceed with developing the app using the staging server's API. However, if updating endpoints isn't possible after publishing, I would need to build the app using the live server's API from the start.Please advise on the best approach for this scenario.

Using Variables in Firebase Paths for Reading and Writing Data

Hello everybody,I’m working on the automation of irrigation systems. I have multiple plants in different locations that I’m managing with local micro-controllers (ESP32).The ESP is logging information and receiving commands to/from a Firebase Realtime DB.Each ESP has is own tree: ESP/ESPx/Irrigation with field Status and value ON/OFF.I would like to manage via Zapier the schedule of irrigations either on set times (for example at 10 AM, 1PM etc) or on trigger (for example when the temperature is increasing over a certain threshold).The rules are the same for most of the ESP.Right now I managed to do that by creating a Zap for each ESP, even if they are all exactly the same except that they’re pointing to a different path.Example:Zap 1 points to path ESP/ESP1/Irrigation Zap 2 points to path ESP/ESP2/Irrigation …I would like to variabilize the path so I can have only one Zap executing multiple times for each path. I understand Zap Loops is supposed to do that. I created a loop from text:

Update Google spreadsheet dropdown

In my Google spreadsheet, I have two sheets, Sheet1 and Sheet2.In the Sheet2, the first cell (row 1, column 1) has a Dropdown control with Data Validation rule to show all unique values from a specific column in Sheet 1 Requirement: I want the Zapier to change the value of the dropdown in the first cell of Sheet 2.I used the example from https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8495978803213-Find-and-update-spreadsheet-rows-in-Google-Sheets-on-ZapierHowever, the ‘Action’ step does omits row 1 and only lists the rows from row 2.How can I change the value of the dropdown using Zapier Action? For example, set the value of Sheet2!A1=”KIWI”?

Zapier Tables are not shown when creating an Action

I have three different Tables in Zapier Tables. Now I want to create a new action (under action.zapier.com for my custom GPT) and when I configure “Zapier Tables: Create Record”, I want to choose a fixed value which is in this case the name of the table. But it only shows me one table name. This is the table name Im using in another action, but not the one I want to use for this action, The two missing tables are set to automatically send records and of course, we create by me. What could be reason these table names are not showing up?Thank you in advance 😀

Trigger for Hubspot File Attachment

Is there a way to get a trigger so when someone attaches a file to a Hubspot Deal, I can then upload that file to Sharepoint?

AndyGNew

I’m using Zapier in a trial at the moment to figure out whether I can use it to integrate Hubspot and Sharepoint. So far so good, but I have a situation where I need to write a Sharepoint path (URL) back to a Hubspot property, and I need to URLEncode it so it works as a link.Currently, Hubspot doesn’t recognize it as a link because it has spaces in it.Does Zapier have any functions to URL encode a string, or even do a find/replace on certain characters in a string?Thanks!

How to handle multiple HTTP requests to callback URL

We’re using `z.generateCallbackUrl()` which works great in most cases.By default, the callback URL is called only once to notify our resource is ready.The problem is that our users can enable a feature, and it will send two HTTP requests to the callback URL, because two different resources are created that take a long time. (Yes, this is poor API design, but that’s not possible to change)For our action, I’m only interested in one of the HTTP requests, but I’m receiving the wrong HTTP request which doesn’t have the correct information to return to our users. Our ideal solution would be that `performResume` can be triggered multiple times, and we can tell Zapier to wait for the other HTTP request, and ignore the current one. Something like this imaginary code:```const performResume = async (z: ZObject, bundle: Bundle) => { // determine if request is the one we are not interested in if("some_property" in bundle.cleanedRequest) return z.ignorePerformResume(); // continue doing stuff}

How to make a Find-or-Create action that is useful in practice?

In my integration I’ve put a Find event, and a Create event, and linked them together to support Find-Or-Create. But I’m struggling to see how to make that useful in practice, because of how it uses the same parameter data for both the Find and the Create. I’m finding that I always want to use different parameters for the Find and Create. Perhaps this is because the structure or behavior of my API is not as it ought to be. I’d love to hear if any other devs have thoughts on this. Simplified example:My APIs are working with records that have a Reference and a Name. The Reference is an immutable unique key, and the Name is a mutable data field. However, the Name is mandatory - I can’t create a record without one, and my Create API will return an error if this is attempted.A typical use case would be to have a Zap that pulls these records from some other system, matching against my API by Reference, and telling my API to create or update the Name as appropriate.If the Zap does a Fin

How do I get all of the results of my GET request?

I am very new at this sort of thing and have never worked with code or API prior to this but I have been learning quickly and believe I have the things we need up to about 90% of the way good but this last issue I cant seem to figure out. Whenever I run my zap (or even the tests) for my Search Action using a GET request, it only returns the first result but I am trying to use it to either populate or update a table/sheet/database so I need all of the results. I can get pictures if needed but since I am new at this, I wasnt sure what would be relevant or not to include for someone to better and understand and assist me.

When is this company getting with the times and have DARK MODE????????

I’ve read comments about having dark mode and some were a year old and nothing yet.I’m thinking zapier is taking it’s customers for granted, most businesses want to hear from their clients on how they can improve, looks like this company really doesn’t care about their clients!!They have our money and think we are hear to stay.Well I’ve been here a short time searched this issue out and ended up here, this almost sounds like our present goverment!! They could care less about what the citizens want regardless, and zapier is the same, if it’s been requested by their clients for that long and nothing yet what does that say?They don’t give a shit what we want just keep paying and shut up!! Even tho basically everyone online is using dark mode it’s old news, these guy could care less what we want!! I learned about others before I came here, was being used the most but zapier is a lot more money to use and are behind the times! Just getting going and can easily switch obviously these guy d

New Shopify Order in Store 1 Creates a New Order in Store 2

This post has been edited by a moderator to remove personal information. Please remember that this is a public forum and to remove any sensitive information prior to posting.The issue we are facing is that each store has the same products, though obviously product IDs do not match, among other pieces of product details. Using Lookup Tables we’re able to switch names, IDs, etc., however when assembling the new Shopify Order Zap step the line items are not all being added to the product, along with associated SKUs, images, names, IDs. We’ve gotten quite deep into the weeds with our current Zap and I am sure a lot of it is unnecessary, but this was all throughout the troubleshooting. The issue appears to be replacing the line items from the Order Trigger with the correct Products in the new store. We have scoured the internet searching for a solution that seems to fit this unique situation, though to no avail. Providing screenshot of the (most important/used) steps thus far. Intaking new

Distinguish between empty string, null and undefined

Is there some recommended way to handle/distinguish between unprovided data (null/undefined) and empty data (empty string) while developing custom actions?Endpoint handles not-provided data as “no not change” and provided data as “change” and empty strings are valid values. I can, of course, do it by having a boolean field next to every data field, but it feels too nasty...
