Question

Code that works locally breaks without error code in Zapier code block (Twilio API call)

The code I currently have in my Zap Code action block works perfectly fine locally. When I test it within Zapier, I am getting console logs that indicate it is running and the fetch Promise is resolving. However, it is not actually triggering the API. Why would this same code trigger the API locally but not from within Zapier?

 

const func = async () => {
  var url = "{url}";
  var phone = "+1" + "{number}";
  phone = phone.replace(/-/g,'');
  console.log('running');

  output = await fetch(url, {
    method: 'POST',
    body: new URLSearchParams({
      To: phone,
      From: '{MessagingSID}',
      Parameters: JSON.stringify({
        item_num: "test",
        agent: "test",
        // driver_num: 'test,
        city: 'test'
      }),
    }),
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'Basic '+Buffer.from('{Token:Secret}').toString('base64'),
      'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'
      },
    }).catch((err)=>console.log(err.body));

  console.log(output);
//} 
}

func();

Hi @jh123 

Good question.

Help articles about using the Code app: https://zapier.com/apps/code/help

Perhaps try using the Webhooks app: https://zapier.com/apps/webhook/help

Try this instead:

var url = "{url}";
var phone = "+1" + "{number}";
phone = phone.replace(/-/g, '');
console.log('running');

const twilioResp = await fetch(
  url, {
    method: 'POST',
    body: new URLSearchParams({
      'To': phone,
      'From': '{MessagingSID}',
      'Parameters': JSON.stringify({
        'item_num': "test",
        'agent': "test",
        // 'driver_num': 'test',
        'city': 'test'
      }),
    }),
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'Basic ' + Buffer.from('{Token:Secret}').toString('base64'),
      'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'
    },
  }
).catch((err) => console.log(err.body));

var data = await twilioResp.text();

output = [{ data }];
