How to separate data from Raw Webhook?

I have the option to pull a raw webhook from my affiliates list. It comes in as one string and I want to extract the First Name and Email. Yes, raw webhook is the only option I have right now. I know there’s an extract email feature in Zapier but I really need the name too and can’t figure out how to get that. This is the data I’m getting: a:3:{s:6:"f_name";s:5:"XXXXX";s:6:"l_name";s:8:"XXXXXXXX";s:5:"email";s:20:"XXXXX@XXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXX";}Any help appreciated!This post has been edited by a moderator to remove sensitive information.

Null filter / webhooks

Hey, did you managed to get this working? I’m stuck with a webhook answer like this: { "data": { "completed_at": "<Some date here>" }, "updated_from": { "completed_at": null, }} The whole `updated_from` is not there if the update does not impact the completed_at. The only option here is to filter on `data__updated_from is blank` but then it’s triggers for way more than I would like.

[ADVANCED] HOW TO: Trigger Zaps instantly from Airtable

Q: Can Zaps be triggered instantly from Airtable?A: Yes, read on… CreditsTroy Tessalone is a Certified Zapier Expert at Automation Ace. BackgroundZaps with an Airtable trigger are NOT “instant” and can take up to 15 minutes to fire depending on your Zapier plan.

Transform a big data sample --- Webook --> JSON --> Google Sheet

Hello there! I have 2 questions: How can I get nested JSON data from a GET zapier webhook? How can I transform this nested JSON data into a google sheet Background Information I am trying to find a way get data through a GET webhook, this can't be a “Catch hook” trigger because I can only use API Webhooks. I managed to do this but now I want to put this big data sample in google sheet in rows and columns. I see a lot of tools online to convert this with Nested JSON output, but I cant find a way to do it in Zapier, who can help me? If you know a better way to get the job done that's also fine, als long as I can import the data in a google sheet through a webhook.

Triggering a Zap by clicking a URL?

I’m connecting several apps to Asana. In Asana I have set my project where these integrations occur as read only to limit users ability to change the data in Asana. The issue with this is that it’s going to take more time to assign tasks to users since the users will not be able to assign themselves to tasks.I can easily pass URL links that include the Asana Task ID into the Asana task description field. Would there be a way to make it so that if a user clicks one of these URL links it actually triggers a Zap? The idea being that I could have one URL for assigning themselves to a task. Another option would be a URL that would move the Asana task from one section to another.The simple way to get this done is to just have the URL point to a form that needs to be filled out and once the form is submitted it would trigger a Zap, but I want to avoid forcing the user to have to fill out a form. It would be better if it was just a simple clickI have been researching webhooks but I’m not famil

Return data in HTTP Response from a Webhook Post

Hello I am new to Zapier so forgive me if this is something obvious.  I am using a Webhook to post information to create a new Quote in our Saleforce system.  Once I create the Quote I get the ID of the new Quote.  How can I pass the ID of this new Quote back to the user so they can then add Line Items, Attachments, etc… using additional Zap Webhooks (which require the Quote ID to attach to the proper object)Unfortunately, every method I have tried will not return any data in the HTTP response, only the Successful receipt from Zapier.  How can I pass the ID back to the User that made the request so they can further build out the Quote and add the necessary attachments?Thank you for your attention

Action that returns multiple items - how to loop through them

Hello,I’m having troubles to set up integration for an App that has API. The goal is users to be able to create Zaps with that integration that run once a day, week or month. So the first step from the Zap should be “Scheduler from Zapier”, right? The next step from the Zap should be an action from integration and this action makes a GET request to the app’s API and returns multiple items(persons) like this:{  "1": {    "id": "1932",    "first_name": "Test1",    "last_name": "Test1",    "email": "test1@gmail.com",    "birthday": "1987-08-04",},"2": {    "id": "1933",    "first_name": "Test2",    "last_name": "Test2",    "email": "test2@gmail.com",    "birthday": "1987-09-05",}}What I can not figure out is How to make the Zap to  loop through elements of this object and run the rest of Actions for each of them. I tried to make an action of the  integration to return an array of objects but run into an error saying that an action should return an object instead of an array. I read about

Javascript Error - Can't Separate UTM Parameters from Query String using Code by Zapier

The code works for all but 1 of the query strings (fbclid) and this is happening on all of the zaps i've used this code on. Whichever parameter is the first in the query string always shows up as a “null” value.  Not sure why it isn't pulling in this one field even though it is setup like the others.   Here is my code:

How to Format Query String Params - Webhooks GET Request

I am trying to pull a list of records from Airtable using dynamic parameters. One field is a date field, and using Airtable’s internal Find Records action does not allow for dynamic dates.I have been able to pull Airtable records via Zapier with the GET request, but only for a specific view. Due to the nature of what I want to do (pull a list of records within a given date range, that is based on the date of a NEW record and not related to today’s date), a view will not work.I have experimented and done lots of googling but haven’t found info on how to format the Query String Params so it pulls records based on this dynamic criteria.Any help is appreciated, including other methodologies which may be better suited to this task.
