Refresh API token in code by zapier

Hi there I’m trying to create a workflow. When a client books a calendly meeting the zap would create the invoice and send it to them through gmail, although in order to let the client see the invoice, its status as to be ‘sent’. Changing the status requires zoho invoice API, although I can’t get my refresh token to work, as my access_token only works for 1 hour and i don’t know how to keep refreshing it in code by zapier with javascript

Creating Webhook to integrate with different Vendors

This post has been edited by a moderator to remove personal information. Please remember that this is a public forum and to remove any sensitive information prior to posting.Hi,We at Amagi are building an observability/alerting system where we generate alerts for customers periodically. There is a ask to create a webhook for each customer where we can POST JSON based alert messages . Any alert posted to this customer specific. webhook url should be consumable by their internal notification systems(Slack/Jira etc). Thus I want to ask if:It is feasible to create such a single webhook for each customer via Japier or we need to create a webhook separately for each of their internal systems? How is the security aspect taken care of while posting a POST msg with our payload to Japier created customer specific webhook. Is there. a rate limit on the number of webhook messages we can post to such a webhook?I know these seem like basic questions but answering them would help us make the decision

Run Zap only once at a time

Hello, I have zap that triggers when I get new order and puts the details into google sheet. It goes and searches for first empty row and then it pastes the details there, however, if two orders are placed at the same time, they trigger webhook both at the same time. Causing it to find first empty row exactly the same. My question which I cant find answer to is, Is there a way to trigger zap only once at a time? Meaning if two orders trigger the zap at the same time, it will first run once zap, and then once it finishes it will run next one. Matias

Is there a way to use the 'Queue Zap' and skip some other Zap runs with some filters?

We have a special situation and are curious if there is a workaround to reduce the amount of zap runs.An external party sends out a webhook, with a lot of information about a deal.Zapier does trigger on this webhook. 95% of the time it's only a 1 time trigger, but sometimes this deal is updated continously in the first 60 minutes. This can be as much as like 50 times. If this is the case (like say 50 times) actually only the last trigger contains all the info we need. We could trigger this zap for 50 times and update the deal with all the new information, but this is somehow a overload on information where we know the first 49 times that this is somehow a waste of using of the resources. We know there is an option to set a queue for zap runs if the other has been passed, but this is only postpone all the runs after the first one - and is not ideal for this job.Is there a way to hold this first run - wait for about an hour - see if there are any other webhooks in the queue (that are fil

How can I return line items from a sub-zap?

It seems like Zapier flattens line items in the “return from sub-zap” step. So if I have line items like { name, age }, I can only return names and ages arrays. I would then have to rebuild the line items in the parent each time I use the sub-zap, which means the sub-zap isn’t very reusable. Is this correct? Is there another way to be able to re-use a “Code by Zapier” step that returns line items?

Update customer metafield in Shopify?

Hello! In the past I’ve relied heavily on tags in Shopify for customers and products. I’ve begun moving a lot of that data and some new data to metafields. I have an existing zap where I add a tag to a customer after a trigger. I’d like to switch that up and have Zapier update a metafield for a customer. I don’t see that option built natively but maybe I’m missing something? I’m sure I could make an API call of some sort but figured I’d check here if anyone knows how to do it with the update customer in shopify action before I use a workaround. Also, I have access to Shopify flow which could trigger when tag is added, update metafield, then remove the tag, but Zapier is my first automation love so I start here.

Extracting entire/full payload data from a trigger

I couldn’t find any way of logging/forwarding the entire payload data from a trigger event.I want to log and forward the whole payload to another system, and not specify each key.Zapier only allows me to specify each key one by one, I tried using a Code block, but I met the same issue.Is there really no way to do something as basic as that, or did I miss something obvious?

Custom MySQL insert alternative (replace into)

Rather simple - most DBs allow an UPSERT or REPLACE command. It is insert if not found or update if found.It is rather bothersome that Zapier has not added such a simple action and instead advices using a search and path type of workflow. Why in the world would one want to use 3-4 tasks to do what a single SQL statement can do in ANY modern DBMS? I assume it is because allowing an UPSERT (REPLACE INTO)  uses only 1 tasks and  SELECT (search) → PATH → INSERT or UPDATE takes 3 tasks instead of 1.  REPLACE INTO please!!!!Or at least allow us to write a custom Query.  The Custom Search query will not work because an update or insert does not “return” a row and therefore generates an error. This is bare bone basic SQL - come on Zapier - at least provide basic SQL functionality.

An API error occurred: channel_not_found

I have prepared a simple bot that returns a message on every new messag in either DMs or public channel. When installed to the primary workspace (the one that app was originally created) everything works perfect (the bot is responding to messages). Then I did all the steps to enable Manage Distribution (in order to install slack to other workspaces). The install and redirect button are working and the Bot was successfully added to another workspace. But the problem is that whenever message is sent over DM or in a channel that this bot is invited to an error is thrown in the bot consoleAn API error occurred: channel_not_found

How do I find employee data in BambooHR and transfer it to Google Sheets on a daily basis?

Hi, I’m a first time Zapier user with no code backgound hoping someone can help point out what I might be doing wrong.Apps I’m trying to connect: BambooHR (premium app) to Google Sheets. Zap level: Pro trial Intended outcome: have Google Sheets mirror the data that is held in a BambooHR report and update it’s data when any of the selected  data in BambooHR report changes. Intended behaviour: Google Sheets to call data from BambooHR daily (or twice daily ideally, ie every 12 hours) and update/overwrite the data held in Google Sheets with the data found in BambooHR.  What I’ve tried so far without success:ZAP 1:(1) Trigger 1: Changed report in BambooHR (test = OK)(2) Action: Update spreadsheet row(s) in Google SheetsInserted a mandatory row ID (as per this Zapier help article), however it returns this error:Failed to create an update spreadsheet row(s) in Google Sheets.

How to automate importing multiple Facebook & Instagram analytics to Google Sheets via Zapier

There are other similar posts here. Some are from a while ago, so I figured I would ask again.  I have around 100 Agents who have Facebook Business and Instagram Business pages that I manage. I would like to be able to see their week over week performance (Add Follower Counts, Reach, Likes & Reactions, Comments, and Shares) in Google Sheets. Once there, I can dig deeper into the analytics to draw various conclusions.  From what i’ve read, this seems to require webhooks. I’m not very familiar with those, but willing to learn. That said, has anyone figured this out inside or outside of this community?   Or something like this:

Connecting Multiple API Keys With Zapier

Can more than one API key be added to a Zapier account?The reason I ask is I’m planning on offering automation services to clients using Zapier and one of the things I want to offer is to integrate their ChatGPT account with apps like Slack.I just read this article which states that if I am going to connect AI tools with Zapier then I’ll need to enter an API key to authenticate the account.https://zapier.com/blog/use-ai-with-zapier/So in this case, the client would have their own OpenAI/ChatGPT account that I would get the API key to use for authentication purposes. So, I plan on having private folders for each client that contain their respective zaps under my Zapier account.  Could I create zaps in different client folders that would include integrating ChatGPT into a Zap and Zapier would be able to authenticate each one with their designated API key?Or does my Zapier account only connect to one API key at a time?In other words, would the client would need their own Zapier account fo

Domain filter issue with cvent

Cvent has two ways of adding attendees either by adding them as an invite or registering them. Our account is set up to use the invite route.With how our cvent account is set up I’m unable to use the pre-built “add Attendee” step, which uses the register route, so I’ve added an API request step. Unfortunately when I try to use the URL from their developer portal (https://api-platform-eur.cvent.com/ea/attendees ) I get an error “Domain did not match expected domain filter `io.cvent.com`” which I think refers to a previous version of the API.   When I amend the request to use the equivalent io.cvent.com URL I get a 403 error. Is there a way round this other than dropping back to pure webhooks?

Include image attachment in Mastodon Status using Webhooks

By following https://blog.fosketts.net/2022/11/13/how-to-auto-post-to-mastodon-using-zapier/ and the official Mastodon API documentation I’ve been able to setup a Zapier automation using Webhooks by Zapier to post a Status (a title + URL) to a Mastodon instance.Also I’ve been able to upload a media item using the endpoint “/api/v2/media”. And valid ID is returned after this step in Zapier. https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/statuses/#createhttps://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/media/There is an issue with including the image attachment to the Status. According to the blog-post and the API documentation an Attachment ID is to be included as a media_ids[] in Data. But for some reason this doesn't seem to work.There is not error but also no image is included.Step Configuration:This works for a regular Status post. But including a valid Attachment ID for media_ids[] doesnt have the desired effect.  I'm using the https://mastodon.social/ instance.

Editor Working - Published Not

Hi everyone,I wanted to integrate Zapier with my app and I am using REST hooks. Although, it took a little bit to set up and their documentation isn't really too helpful, I finally was able to built everything out for subscribes, unsubscribes, and list (for testing).I put together a couple of Zaps using the integration and in the editor everything works. It finds the data from the hook url and it posts to a social media platform as expected. Just to reiterate tests all go smoothly before publishing.However, after publishing the first step works well (connects to my service, connects to the social media platform, receives all of the data), but the second step fails. Data received from first step [Data Out]:...result_text:Attention marketing, sales, and content professionals!…other data...... Error from second step [Data In]:Required field "message" (message) is missing.message:{{205535645__result_text}}page:111874991787535link_url: ... result_text is there and is being set dynamically a
