About the Code & Webhooks Forum

If you’re asking a question in this category, it should be about the Code by Zapier app and/or the Webhooks by Zapier app.   If you’re not sure whether you can/should use one of those apps, it’s OK to ask that here. Chances are great that whoever responds will be able to properly advise you.FAQsI have a question about developing an app on the Zapier platform...can I ask about that here?For questions like that, please ask in the Developer Discussion forum. And to be clear, we’re talking about the Developer Platform, where you can build your own integration.Do you consider RegEx to be code? It’s pretty complex!Possibly in the future, but for right now this is solely for questions related to Code by Zapier and/or Webhooks by Zapier.What about Storage by Zapier? That feels sort of Code-y to me.See the response above. Maybe at some point we’ll expand, but for now it’s limited to the 2 apps mentioned.If I’m not sure if I need Code or Webhooks and ask in General Questions, what will happen?If

Webhook error

Hello!Someone left our company without any indication. I have been put in charge of IT ( we are a small non -profit team...please bear with me )  So basically, it is an automatization between Formstack, Box and Airtable. Once the  form is filled ( with attachements)  the attachements are sent to box and then the right files are uploaded to the right record in Airtable. There is a webhook in Formstack that is faulty. But no one is able to figure why (Zapier + Formstack teams) We have been having error messages from Formstack and the files are not able to be transfered to Airtatble.  Thanks a  million in advance

Unwanted multiple triggers on a zap that uses loops

I have a zap that creates an object in SAP following a checklist filled in Mela Works (a system for field operation). The filled out checklist in Mela trigger the Mela Webhook functionality.  I use a catch hook in Zapier to catch the webhook call from Mela. It looks like that each time the zap runs, it triggers three times simultaneously, leading the the generation of three objects in SAP instead of one. The webhook from Mela Works (the trigger) is calling the catch hook in zapier only once: any idea on way I get three simultaneous runs as result?The zap is 22 step long and at the end of it there is a loop iteration on some information. I do write it because I experience this repetition of runs only in zaps with loops. The two points (catch hook and lopping) should not be related. Thank for any help.Emanuele

Zapier-Botpress Integration

Hello. I have a sample AI chatbot/agent set up in BotPress Studio. The basic functionality of the bot is to answer queries from users about real-estate trends.Since, this is a sample bot, I have connected it to Google Sheets to fetch and send data to the users based on the menu-based options they select as responses to the bot’s questions.The flow is working perfectly in the Studio emulator.I now want to connect the bot to a messaging vendor (Twilio). To do this, I am connecting the bot to Twilio via Zapier so that when I send a message (Hey or Hi) from my personal number to the Twilio Test number, Twilio can send my texts/responses to Zapier, Zapier can send them to the bot, the bot sends back its answers to Zapier, Zapier sends these answers to Twilio, and then finally Twilio sends these answers back to my personal number.The issue I am facing is that while setting up the Zap, i am successfully able to test that the Zapier webhook is sending the test message (Hey) from Twilio to my b

Connection to Jira Service Management API

Hey Team,Having a heck of a time getting a successful result from a connection attempt to our instance of Jira Service Management.  I have followed the API documentation I think to a “T,” but need a bit of a push if anyone has implemented this before.The ultimate goal is to eventually create new Organizations after they show up in another internal system, but during my troubleshooting, I am scaling back and just trying to get a successful result by using GET Organizations.  Here is the setup:  After this step, I provide my Jira credentials and successfully connect.  Here is the error:The only odd thing I found is in the API doco, it also shows an additional HTTP Header of “Authorization: Bearer <API Token.”  I originally did not add this since my assumption was since I could successfully connect using my credentials, along with the note of “Authentication headers are included automatically,” this was not needed.  However, I did generate a token and added this header, but it resulted

Converting Binary Image Output from Stability AI API to Usable File Link in Zapier

I’m working on a Zapier workflow where I use the ‘Code by Zapier’ Python step to generate images using Stability AI’s API. My objective is to take the binary output (the generated image) from the API and convert it into a file link or file object that can be used in subsequent steps of the Zap (e.g., uploading to Google Drive, posting to social media, etc.).Is there a way to return a file object from the code step that Zapier can understand and process? Here is the Stability AI documentation for reference: https://platform.stability.ai/docs/api-reference#tag/Generate/paths/~1v2beta~1stable-image~1generate~1core/post

I am using the Ai message router to interpret the text from a chatbot in LeadConnector via Webhook, then route the customer into 3 separate routes, sales, tech support, or billing.After the Zi message router determines the route, I want it to add a tag to the contact in Go High Level (LeadConnector).  I have 3 paths set up.  If the message rute is billing, it will add the “billing” tag to the customer.  When I test the action, the tag is not added.
