Code Timeout Issue in Zap

I have a zap that makes an API call that takes 10+ seconds. Triggering it via python code. The API is responding in about 5-15 seconds, but the zap is ending prematurely do to timeout when it takes >10 seconds. How can I extend the timeout for a zap to 20 seconds or so?

Using cURL or change format to send API request?

I’m struggling to send this /POST request using Zapier Webhooks.  The sample cURL request is below: curl -X POST https://api.APIURL.com/v1/businesses \  -u mk_live_213123123123123123: \  -H "Accept: application/json" \  -d name=COMPANYNAME \  -d external_id=12345678 \  -d tin\[tin\]=123410000 \  -d website\[url\]=https://www.COMPANY.com \  -d addresses\[0\]\[address_line1\]=577+XXXXXX \  -d addresses\[0\]\[address_line2\]=Suite+400 \  -d addresses\[0\]\[city\]=san+francisco \  -d addresses\[0\]\[state\]=CA \  -d addresses\[0\]\[postal_code\]=94105 \  -d people\[0\]\[name\]=Kyle+XXX \  -d phone_numbers\[0\]\[phone_number\]=650797XXXX I’ve tried to send as a “form” but am not sure how to handle the arrays for “addresses” and “people”.  So, then I turned to a “Custom Request” with JSON but kept getting the following error:  Not sure why it’s saying ‘name’ is missing because...yeah.  Anyway, if anyone can see what silly mistake I am making it would be much appreciated!

Adding Basic Authentication to Webhook

We have an app that triggers a POST to a Zapier Webhook (using a Zapier generated URL). It works great. The data for testing purposes writes out to a google sheet.   is it possible to enable Basic Authentication on the above URL? If it’s supported, I can’t seem to find out where/how.  Any insight here would be greatly appreciated.

How to define segments when splitting a string of 2+ words using code

For example: Someone uses their full name in one field instead of first and last in separate fields. If you then want to split it and define the first word (name) as the first name and any other words in that field as the last name, you can do that using some JavaScript code.Option 1First name’s the same no matter what, so we can define it herevar firstname = nameArr[0]var lastnameCheck if there’s more than 2 elements in the array (i.e. a middle or multi-stage name)if(nameArr.length > 2){Remove the first item in the arraynameArr.shift()Then join that modified array up with a space in between the elementslastname = nameArr.join(" ")} else {But if there’s less than two (i.e normal name) then return the last name as you werelastname = nameArr[nameArr.length - 1]}output = [{firstname, lastname}];Option 2Here is another alternative:var fullName = input.name.split(' ');var firstName = fullName.shift();var lastName = fullName.join(' ');output = [{firstname: fi

Line items as array in code step?

Hey there,I’ve got a Zap that takes Shopify order data and routes that to an API, using a code step to properly format the data.I need to be able to grab the line item fields and use them as arrays in my code step. Currently, I’m using the Input Data fields, and separating the line items by comma in JS, but I’d like to know if there is a way to get arrays of the line items as a direct input.Separating by comma becomes problematic as soon as there are other fields like SKU or Variant, which might not have a value assigned, so Zapier removes the comma, and I’ll have an array of say, 5 products titles, and a SKU array that only has 4 items, because one of the products didn’t have one assigned in Shopify.

Passing complex nested JSON via custom request

Hello! I am working on a Zap that will require me to make a quite complex API POST using nested JSON (the sample I’ve been working with in Postman is ~425 lines of code). Within that JSON request, I need to populate specific fields from a previous step in my Zap (some custom Python code that’s outputting a nested dictionary). I’m comfortable formatting the Python output to isolate the variables on their own, but I’m having trouble navigating the complex JSON code to place the variables where they belong, because of the small edit window and the lack of the ability to add spacing/tabs.Would it be easier to somehow create a template of text with MOST of the JSON code, and then somehow inject the variables within it? Is this something that really should be a custom built integration via the Developer Tools? Is there an easier way to map values in a heavily nested JSON request?Thanks in advance!

Filter with the relative date

Hi all.I want to integrate our marketing automation platform Autopilot with our CRM Pipedrive.I have several scenarios. One of them is a bit problematic for me.I want to trigger the automation (a set of letters) in Autopilot only if the user that has got to the Autopilot is not engaged with our sales team. But often the only change in the CRM is the activity they make. So, I need to filter out the users that were engaged by our sales team during the last 90 days. For this I have to set a relative date in the filter, not the exact one.But I really don’t know how to deal with this. Below is the filter I try to makeCould you please help me with this issue?

How do I configure CORS headers for Webhooks triggers?

I’m trying to put a Zapier Webhooks URL in my Marvin (amazingmarvin.com) webhooks settings. I have to do it this way because there are no triggers in the Marvin Zapier app (just actions).Marvin says regarding webhooks:To prevent Marvin from being a DOS machine, Webhooks are sent as AJAX requests from the client. That means that your target server needs to configure CORS. If this turns out to be a major inconvenience, this could be improved in the future. Go ahead and file an issue on github if you feel this would be worthwhile.Which headers are needed?Access-Control-Allow-Methods: OPTIONS, POST # whichever methods you are using!Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type,... # whichever you are specifying (+ content type unless using GET)Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://app.amazingmarvin.com # use * if you want to use the desktop or mobile app

Best Approach for Working with an API that Uses Bearer Tokens

Hi Ya’ll,  Currently working with a client that is requiring that we use a file management systems api. The api sends a bearer token for authentication. The token doesn't change unless we force to reset.  Looking for best approach to store bearer token as this will be used in the headers later to make POST requests. Has anyone stored this inside Zapier? Do you store it outside of Zapier and then use it in the zap? Looking forward to recommendations. Thanks team!

How can I create an array of JSON objects?

Hello! I am creating a zapier integration for our invoicing software. I am however not sure how can I create a nest an array of JSON objects inside a jSON. "invoice": { "seller_name": "name1", "seller_tax_no": "123456789", "buyer_name": "name2", "buyer_email": "some@email.com", "buyer_tax_no": "987654321", "positions":[ {"name":"Product 1", "tax":23, "total_price_gross":10.23, "quantity":1}, {"name":"Product 2", "tax":0, "total_price_gross":50, "quantity":3} ] } I have no problem adding fields, I am however stumped with “positions”. I have tried making it a Line Group Item, but when I tried inputting some test data I realized it gets turned into a regular array of strings, rather than an array of JSON objects. "positions": [ "name: product 1", "vat: 23", "total_price_gross: 100", "quantity: 1" ] Is it possible to make it work in either zapier dev

Creating an array from a get webhook response nested json.

   Hi, The current Zapier steps i have set up creates a GET request to an external service. that service replies with a list of data that is nested. My end step i need to do is make multiple PUT requests to another API with part of the URL being a value from the response from the GET. There is not a fixed number of id’s/times that it will need to PUT. Currently if i do it with just the GET then the next step is the PUT it puts all of the values of the ID i need to put at the end of the API url as just a comma separated list. I need them to make separate PUT requests for Each ID.Any help would be greatly appreciated.This shows the response to the GET request (Images shows only the first part. There will are more in the response) This is the PUT request. It currently puts them as a comma separated list. which causes an error. each of the values needs to process as a separate PUT.
