Zapier Wordpress Plugin - Wordpress 6.x support and PHP

I’m running a large site and I use Zapier for various functions. Looking at the Plugin, it states that it’s not tested beyond WP 5.9.8.  The 5.9 branch was released almost two years ago (as of January,) and many would no doubt like to stay up-to-date.Is there any update on this? Verifying the plugin is tested for 6.x?Same question with PHP. Looking at your support form on WordPress, it appears the plugin breaks after PHP 8.1. Although the community has a fix, it would really be nice to get support for PHP 8.1 and 8.2 formally with the release of PHP 8.3 happening later this month. Thank you for any updates.

How do I pass-through ChatGPT extracted structured in json with proper data types?

I’m extracting email data with ChatGPT using the “Extract Structured Data” feature. I have specified data types and possible values.I want to send the parsed data as a POST request using the “Webhook by Zapier” feature.Here’s what I’ve tried:Sending a custom POST request with Data Pass-Through = True and a header with Content-Type=application/json. What happens then is that the json returned has single quotes instead of double-quotes and booleans have a capital letter Send a POST request with a json payload type (and adding no data). The json returns all values as strings (even if some types specified in the “Extract Structured Data” are number and boolean) Send a POST request with a json payload type (and adding all fields and matching them with Extract Structured Data field outputs). The json returned returns all values as strings and does not nest the fields properly   For the first two methods, I’ve considered using the formatter by Zapier, but I can’t select the entire output

Facebook Ads Conversions API Error Message

I am trying to use Zapier to connect Squarespace form submissions to Facebook Conversions API. I’ve tried with two separate websites/Facebook Ads accounts, and have gotten the same error both times:  "(#200) Requires business_management permission to manage the object” I am a full admin on both Facebook Ads, Facebook Business, and Squarespace accounts, so I don’t know why I would be getting this message.  Has anyone else experienced and/or fixed this issue? I cannot find any documentation about it online. Thank you!

GA4 Source/Medium/Campaign to Pipedrive (using Zapier)

HelloI have the following automation that I need to do through Zapier and I haven’t yet figured out how:Automatically add a Google Analytics Source, Medium and Campaign field to a Lead in Pipedrive Inbox The purpose is to find out if a lead in Pipedrive came for example from a Google Ads campaign (and the campaign name from GA4 gets automatically attached to the lead)What I’ve done so far:Created Custom fields in Pipedrive for GA4 Source; GA4 Campaign; GA4 Medium Tried to create a new Trigger in Zapier “New Conversion Event in Google Analytics 4”.  Filtered to only include “Free Trial” leads GA4 does not send any data about “Source”; “Medium” or “Campaign” through with the Conversion event. Which meant that the “Update deal” Action was impossible to do - I want to update the deal with source/campaign/medium fields from GA4 but GA4 does not send that information through. The only connection right now is the timestamp. (Create time from GA4, Lead Created date from Pipedrive). Additional

My Zap looks like this.Facebook Lead Ads (extracting form leads) Google Sheet (Creating rows within an existing Google Sheet) - This sheet automaticly sorts the Leads  The Leads are pulled out of the Google Sheet by Zapier. The information that is extracted is as follows Name Number E-Mail Company An Zapier Number Formater formates the Phone Number with a country code Webhook by Zapier POST the data to the API My problemThe problem arises towards the end of the Zap, mainly where I am supposed to extract the Leads from the Google Sheet.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

Hello - receiving this error on my zap that was formerly working perfecting for months. It’s throwing the error in the step “Run javascript in Code by Zapier”. I get the error of “TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined”. The goal of the zap is to send an email via Outlook which it does not, but it’s also supposed to update the Smartsheet so that you know it sent the email. It’s getting to that step despite having a error in an earlier step and not actually sending an email via outlook.

How does "Retrieve poll" return only "New " entries ?

When the "Retrieve poll" action fetches data from the API, it checks for new entries or changes since the last poll.I am using this webhook but I am trying to understand what mechanism allows this event to only fetch “new entries”.As far as I can see, there is nothing i the configuration of this webhook that refers to how an entry is considered a new entry…In this webhook, you just set the URL endpoint, optional headers if required, optional deduplication criteria, but I don´t see anything about discriminating entries from the executed poll. > Can someone bring a bit of light on this topic ? Thanks, Petrich

API HTTP Error Code: 400 Create a Contact in Superchat

Hello everyone,I hope you can help me or provide a solution. I would like to create a contact in Superchat using a POST request via an API. Since the Superchat API documentation is only accessible to users, I have attached an image. I have already tried several approaches. In the header, I had "Authorization" and "X-API-Key" already set. However, whenever I use "Authorization," I encounter the following error: "Failed to create a request in Webhooks by Zapier. The app returned 'Unauthorized' (HTTP Status Code: 401)."I also tried placing "Bearer" before MY API Token. I validated the JSON code using a JSON validator, and it appears to be correct. Nonetheless, nothing seems to work. I keep receiving the error "Invalid parameter: handles (HTTP Status Code: 400)."

RSS feed trigger app returns "Not Acceptable"

Hi, I set up a Zap in January 2022 to pull new items from an RSS feed (this is the trigger) and email them using Gmail.  It was working fine until somewhere between 14th May 2023 and 29th May 2023.  And since then the ‘New Item in Feed in RSS by Zapier’ trigger gives this error in the Zap:Unable to pull new item in feedsPlease reload the page. If the issue persists, troubleshoot error or contact Support.Error code: Error while retrieving: The app returned "Not Acceptable".I have tested the feed with several RSS validators both initially when setting up, at the time of breakage (end of May) and today, and they all say the RSS/Atom feed is valid.  So what is going on?  I made no changes to the Zap to break it, and I don’t think the RSS feed publisher did either, and it certainly still passes RSS validation and looks OK when viewed with curl or a web browser.  Any ideas?  Did Zapier change their RSS feed trigger and break it?The RSS feed URL is:https://mume.org/Import/news/rssI’ve tested

Postgres triggers are not addressed

Hello all, I have a problem regarding my postgres zaps. I have various zaps that should be triggered when a new row is added to my Postgres database or when an existing row is revised there. However, these do not trigger. I add the data via Python to my Postgres database running on AWS and monitor it with DBeaver. Both inserting and revising records works, it's just the zaps that don't trigger. Specifically, I use "New Row in PostgreSQL" and "New or Updated Row in PostgreSQL" as triggers.Does anyone know what the problem could be? I would be grateful for any help. :)
