WordPress app authentication failed

Hi,I have been using the WordPress API Request (Beta) zap without any issues for the last 3-4 months. However, the last week the connection failed. I have tried to reconnect the WordPress app in “My connections”, but I have been getting the following error since then:To rule out that it was not an error of the connected website, I have tried to connect other websites made with WordPress, with different configurations (themes, plugins...), and in all tests I get the same authentication error without any specific message.

[Auth] Refresh token is added as url query parameter

Hi all, we’re facing the issue that we want to do the auth with Cognito, in code mode we have: const options = {  url: 'https://auth.hauzd.app/oauth2/token',  method: 'POST',  headers: {    'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'  },  body: {    'client_id': 'x',    'grant_type': 'refresh_token',    'refresh_token': bundle.authData.refresh_token  },  removeMissingValuesFrom: {    'body': false,    'params': false  },}return z.request(options)  .then((response) => {    if (response.id_token) {      return response.id_token    }    return false  }); but it adds the refresh_token as query parameter, which causes a “invalid_grant” error.It is a “Session auth”. We tried also “Api Key Auth” but it is the same… There is no way to avoid refresh_token to be put as query parameter.Basically the issue is that the refresh_token should not be sent as query param but there is no way to remove it from there. Please help. Thanks in advance!Regards,Gonzalo.

How to Integrate a Platform's UI Without an Authorization URL

I’m trying to create a private integration in the Platform UI for the USPS Public API.  Details can be found at https://github.com/USPS/api-examples?tab=readme-ov-file#oauth-token. You’ll note they only have a /token url (step 2).  There’s no /auth url (step 1) present nor is it required to get an auth_token.  Any ideas for how to get around this?

Integration: how can i use data from the test request in actions and triggers as default value

We currently building a integration using the UI platform. Everything seems to work fine so far.At thing we did not found tho is the following:Our test request returns some kind of data which will be used for the connection id, which works fine. But we would like to use some of this data as well for default field values in actions and maybe also triggers. Is there even a way to do it or do we have to use dynamic dropdowns for all?Thanks for a answer already

Zoom Connection Scope

I’m trying to utilize Custom Actions and/or API Requests Beta to send messages using Zoom’s Team Chat API.When I run test either one, I receive this error message:Invalid access token, does not contain scopes:[chat_message:write, chat_message:write:admin].It seems that the default scope included for the Zoom connection provides limited scopes into the API, so we’re not able to fully leverage all the endpoints. Please consider increasing the scope.

Error with OAuth Integration and Scheduler Email in Mold Ninja using Zapier

I am facing with the integration of our application, Mold Ninja, into Zapier.We have deployed Mold Ninja to Zapier and set it up using OAuth v2. We successfully created a Zap to schedule meetings between:The user who logs into our app (acting as the scheduler).Other email IDs added as invited users.However, I encountered a problem during testing. When I attempt to schedule a meeting via Mold Ninja other users(not the same mail id with which zap was created), the integration only works if the "from" email address matches the one used to create the Zap in Zapier (the original scheduler email). It does not work with any other email addresses, even though those users are logged into Mold Ninja and are expected to act as schedulers.I would appreciate your guidance on resolving this issue. Is there a way to configure the Zap or our app’s OAuth implementation so that meetings can be scheduled by any valid logged-in user, instead of restricting it to the original scheduler email?Thank you in a

Oauth integration

I am trying to integrate Zapier with my OAuth Authorization Server. It seems that the login information is not persisting, because after I try to make a GET request to /oauth2/authorize, I am redirected to the login page. After a successful login, when Zapier tries to make a POST request to /oauth2/token, it receives the login HTML page again.When I try the authorization flow using Postman, it works, and I developed a client-server application to test the authorization server, and it also works. What can I do to fix this?I am using the Spring Authorization Server dependency.

Invalid redirect_uri in ServiceNow oauth

I’ve searched around the community as well as the internet and cannot find what redirect_uri Zapier wants from ServiceNow. I’m attempting to use the default https://<instance>.service-now.com/oauth_redirect.do, but Zapier says this URI is invalid. To be clear, this redirect works fine with multiple other integrations. I could use the username and password to bypass this, but the entire point of this is to test an integration for my company and if I can’t get OAuth working, that’s a deal-breaker and my PoC spike will be over before it started.Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Account Not Visible After Successful Authentication

I’ve updated app authentication from API key to OAuth 2.0. I’m currently testing in Private mode. OAuth flow works in a way that pop-up opens, login-in, grant access, and closes pop-up. However, the account in Trigger doesn’t show up even if I wait like a minute or two. It shows up after force refresh the page and account shows up. Is there a way that accounts show up smoothly without user have to refresh the page? I’ve noticed other apps, automatically change the account to new one that’s signed in. Any thoughts on why this might be happening?

Unnecessary Headers Injected in POST and GET Requests

Zapier not support refreshing refresh tokens in the OAuth flow?

It seems like a Zapier doesn’t fully implement the OAuth 2 flow, in regards to updating the refresh token. So the refresh token has to essentially live forever or you have to force customers to periodically update the refresh token? We’re returning the refresh_token in the auth token refresh request as specified in the OAuth standards but Zapier doesn’t actually use the refres_token in a subsequent response. Can anyone confirm if Zapier supports refreshing the refresh token in perhaps some other way without user interaction?    An example successful response:     HTTP/1.1 200 OK     Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8     Cache-Control: no-store     Pragma: no-cache     {       "access_token":"2YotnFZFEjr1zCsicMWpAA",       "token_type":"example",       "expires_in":3600,       "refresh_token":"tGzv3JOkF0XG5Qx2TlKWIA",       "example_parameter":"example_value"     }

Cognito - OAuth v2 int

I'm setting up my app for the first time with private integration. As my app api is protected with Cognito user pool, I'm setting up OAuth v2 authentication against Cognito. I have configured a new app in Cognito with client_id, client_secret and zappier.com as an authorized redirect url. However, zapier is not able to connect to the app. It goes through the authorize step successfully showing the login screen and fails at the token step with the below error. Appreciate any help. This is time sensitive for a funding demo.{"status":400,"headers":{"content-type":"application/json;charset=UTF-8","retry-after":null},"content":"{\"error\":\"invalid_client\"}" Regardsvg

I wish to store some sensitive data in the environment variables to use in authentication flow. I’d like to know how does zapier stores these variables?

How to Get Access Token for next call

In my Authentication Tab, I have generated the Token. And added the test connection URL as well to check whether endpoints are working fine.Now, On the next step - I need to check whether the particular user is present in target or not. But for that API call, we again need access token. But because of the last call was to get the data instead of token - I am getting the data and not the token. How can we retrieved the token in such case to use it in next step of ZAP?

Building a Custom Connector to Netsuite: Netsuite wants 24+ length "state" param yet Zapier's is 23

I’m trying to build a custom OAuth2 Integration with Netsuite using the developer console.Netsuite’s documentation requires a “state” parameter in the OAuth urls that is between 24 and 1024 characters long.Zapier’s state parameter is… 23 characters long 🤦Is there anyone who has successfully integrated with Netsuite who may have encountered this? I was hoping there’d be a way to override Zapier’s state param but I’m not seeing a way. Otherwise, is there perhaps another known way to do the integration (please don’t tell me I have to build a custom OAuth1 app).
