Hi Devs and Zapier Staff,

 

I’m looking for an official answer on this topic.

 

Is it possible to use a variable (e.g. bundle.inputData) to do data pass through for ALL of the output payload from the previous Zap step?

If so, can you provide a working example?

 

Goal is to pass thru the previous Zap step output payload as the input for a Zap app action without the user having to define the input fields for the action.

 

Seeking functionality that works the same way as this native Zapier functionality:

  • App: Webhooks by Zapier
  • Action: Custom
  • Field: Data Pass-Through?
  • Description: If yes, request data below will be overridden with the raw data from the previous step (you are still responsible for headers though, like Content-Type). Defaults to no.

 

Thanks!

 

Data Pass-Through?


EXAMPLE
This represents the DATA OUT from a previous Zap step that I want to be all sent dynamically to the next action step without the user having to map any input field values.

Thanks for your patience here, ​@Troy Tessalone!

It’s just been confirmed that only the Webhooks app itself would be able to reference that variable—it’s not publicly accessible.

Sorry, I know that’s not the answer you were hoping for here. If anything changes on that in the future we’ll be sure to let you know! 🙂
