Webhooks by Zapier - Creating and Updating Tasks in Asana - How Not to Update Task Name?

Hello! I’m Looking for some feedback on a Zapier -Asana integration. We are a retreat center and are doing this:Pulling registration information via Webhooks by Zapier from our booking software (Retreat Guru) and into Asana. Automatically creating tasks for our drivers from this info to pick guests up or drop them off at airports/bus stations. (separate tasks - one for pick up and one for drop off) If a guest (or staff) updates their travel info in booking software, the Zap updates the Asana task.What I’m trying to figure out is if there’s a way to manually edit the task name in Asana and then prevent any future Zaps from changing that task name back? Is there a way to keep part of the task name from changing?For example, once a task is in Asana, our staff wants to add the pick up time manually to the task name so the drivers see it with opening the task. The times are so varied that it’s not possible to select from a drop-down custom field. Once that time is added, we don’t want any f

Microsoft Dynamics 365 app and custom fields

I’m curious of other people’s experience with the Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM Zapier app and mainly around custom lookup fields on certain entities, I have found several issues with the app which looks like it’s not usable at all (as in will always be broken based on the payload data it sends). It doesn’t appear to confirm to the Dynamics 365 API requirements in some areas for fields like lookups.Here’s an example payload Zapier is sending when testing a Contact and lead creation zap. The contact record is created just fine, and then the ID of the contact is passed to the lead step. I suspect the contact is created because it’s just standard fields and no lookups. When getting to the lead entity, it gets more complicated with custom fields and lookups and I think where things start going bad.Example payload values being sent by Zapier on a zap test.campaignid: /campaigns(c5b08212-bfa8-ed11-aad1-6045bdd28837)ccl1000_acknowledged: trueccl1000_closeenquiry: trueccl1000_enquiryautocompleted

Rename Slack Channel

I’m trying to rename a channel in Slack.  The error I get when testing the Webhooks by Zapier is “Not_Authorized” I’ve created an app in Slack called “Rename Slack Channel”.  This app has scopes channels:manage and channel:read.  I’ve double checked the bot OAuth Token.  Here’s a screen shot of my Webhooks step.  I’ve already tried using static values for the Channel ID and the New Data value - those aren’t the problem.  I don’t know what else to try or what more information I can provide.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

Anonymized Integration of Facebook Page Chats into Company Software via Zapier

I'm interested in using Zapier to integrate Facebook page chats into our company software while anonymizing customer names. For instance, if a customer named "John Wick" sends a message to our Facebook page, we want it to be received in our software under a pseudonym like "lead001", ensuring our employees handling customers do not see the original names.If this setup is feasible with Zapier, I'd like to know the cost implications, especially if we anticipate receiving 100 million or more messages per month through our Facebook page.Thank you.

Domain issues when using Zapier's SharePoint API (Beta)

Hi, I am glad that Zapier and SharePoint have resolved their differences and there is an integration now. However, it’s pretty limited currently (eg you can’t search for folders), so I was looking at using the in-built API (beta) integration.  I am having issues as it does not recognize the domain being used. I think most sharepoint domains are something like “//[company].sharepoint.com”, but when I try to use the API (beta), it returns an error of “Domain did not match expected domain filter `[company]`”. I believe it’s looking for a domain of “//[company].com”. To be clear, I can use the pre-built services like “create folder” etc fine, so I know my connection is good.  Has anyone else had this issue? If what I set out above is the case, that would seem to be a pretty basic Zapier API integration piece?  If anyone has any work-arounds for any of this, I’d appreciate it, I just want to do some pretty basic stuff like finding folders based on ID, renaming folders, moving folders etc, d

Webhook in email to re-generate with ChatGPT using the information already provided.

So the end goal, is for a user to fill out a Jotform with pre-selected questions, once they fill it out, that information gets sent to chat GPT to summarize and make a professional bio, and then it will send them an email with the results. What I want to be able to do, is attach a link or button to the end of that email, that will allow them to re-generate that bio if they did not like the first one it sent. I have tried adding a webhook to go back to the jotform, but the information that was already provided does not e-populate. I was thinking maybe there is a way to re-generate the prompt with chat GPT using the already connected API, but I am very new to this automation, and could use a push in the right direction please.

Catch hook response

I was planning to use Zapier to catch a webhook even from another platform we use. They provide a way of “tapping” on to certain events in their application via webhooks. I wanted to catch the event on Zapier and then do something with it. My problem is that in order to subscribe to this webhook, the URL I configure it with (in this case, the zappier trigger URL) needs to respond to a GET request with the value of a certain query string parameter in the body. This is their validation mechanism, and if the endpoint does not reply with this value, then the webhook does not get set. I know that there isn’t an option to specify the response body (only to make it silent), but is there any workaround to achieve this? And if not, is this planned to be added in the future? I would like to move some of our automation tasks into Zapier but this is a blocker. Thanks

Trouble mapping "TAX identification number" from HubSpot to Stripe via Webhooks

Hi,I’m currently facing a problem with retreiving a data from HubSpot which is ‘TAX identification number’ ex. PL1000000000 which is basically a NIP number [legal for polish market] of a company we signed contract with.  Zapier do not provide mapping such data into Stripe by default. It is possible by WebHooks, but following instructions, and with GTP help it constantly says there is an error when it comes to ‘type’. When creating a customer in Stripe, you select TAX ID [ID type] (in this case PL VAT) which belongs to "eu_vat” group.  Seems that there is no problem with any other thing like ‘secret key’ i took from Stripe or any other data im using but the ‘type’ . I have also tried to put a TAX number into Metadata then retreive it with WebHooks but it does not work either.  Did any of you face such problem or maybe someone knows the answer?

Unable to use Zapier Webhook to update fields of a newly created Wordpress page

I am trying to use zapier to create wordpress pages using data from a Google Sheet. I am able to create the pages but there is a custom field (ACF (Advanced Custom Fields)) in this page that needs to be updated with the same data from Google Sheet. The newly created page’s page template also needs to be selected which I am not able to do through Zapier’s Wordpress integration.To solve for the above, I am using Zapier’s webhook. In the webhook, I am using PUT method to update the aforementioned fields of the newly created page. However, I am getting a 403 error. I have admin access on Wordpress.Additional screenshots for reference:

I have created a Zap which will get triggered when a specific email comes to my gmail. After that via webhook it will run an application called ZeroWork. I have already putted the ZeroWork’s webhook link to Zapier. The issue is that Zapier gets the trigger and it activates ZeroWork, but for some reason I am getting 1 error which shows up to ZeroWork which has to do with Zapier. I tried it with both the form and json option: Here you can see the error pics for both cases: This is the json error​​​​​​This is the form option PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

Exact same Zap step data out showing differently depending on step position

Hello, I have a Webhook GET request with endpoint filtering set up as part of a sequence of steps. The EXACT same step returns different results depending on if its at the end of the sequence or in between other steps. Its important to know that the location the data is being pulled from does not change. Step 16 - Returns only 1 line item (see screenshots of data in/data out). Step 19 (final step)- Returns 2 line items (see screenshots of data in/data out). As a side note by having this step anywhere but the end of the sequence its also causing an issue where it causes the Zap to trigger multiple times. Is there a different way of retrieving the data other than Webhooks GET request? To see if the bug is consistent? Thanks

Is Zapier going to set up a Zap for Card Creation in Basecamp 4 (formerly Basecamp 3)??  Seems like it has been a while for Zapier not have to hooked into that part of the API by now.   Also, I note that all the Zapier references are to Basecamp 3.  It is actually known as Basecamp 4.  3 evolved into 4 quite some time ago.

Starhshipit > BurstSMS based on order status

Hello we are looking to integrate Woocommerce and Starshipit to send an SMS via BurstSMS when a customers order status is set to ‘picked up’ and or ‘out for delivery’ We understand that Starshipit has a native integration via api, but its uses a different SMS phone number every time an SMS is sent out to a customer. Totally not an ideal customer experience. We want to see if there is a way to create a zap as follows: App: StarshipitTrigger: Order Status ‘Picked Up’Action: Send SMS to: Mobile Number… xxxx (via Burst)Note that we had a look at the available information via https://zapier.com/apps/starshipit/integrations/webhook but there does not seem to be anything for Order Status ‘tracking_short_status’ or ‘tracking_long_status’See screenshot as well.Thanks so much!

Catching raw XML

I’ve got an app that sends order information as XML. I thought maybe I could catch it with Webhooks by Zapier  and then use a code step to do some parsing. I could swear I did something like this a number of years ago with Zapier.However, I just posted some XML to a Webhook by Zapier using Postman and when I click the button to test the trigger, nothing shows up.Has anyone found a way or best practice for simply getting XML into Zapier?
