Creating a split transaction in YNAB (You Need a Budget)

Goal – My goal is to create a zap which streamlines the process of entering transactions into both YNAB and Splitwise, whilst traveling with friends.Current state – I have successfully configured a zap which, upon creation of a new transaction in Splitwise, creates an almost correct equivalent transaction in YNAB.Desired state – I want my new transaction in YNAB to be a split transaction, in order to follow this guidance on using YNAB and Splitwise together. Looking at the YNAB API docs, I see this is possible to implement as an array of `subtransactions`.However I don’t see this functionality exposed in the Zapier visual editor. Is this something that is possible, and/or on your radar?

How do I create a personalization tool to scrape LinkedIn and website data to generate personalized introductions?

I would like to create a personalisation tool using Zapier or as close to 100% automated as possible. I will be getting the following information Full Name, Company Name, Company URL & personal LinkedIn URL.With this information I need to scrape their LinkedIn profile and get insights into the prospect's recent professional interests or achievements, and also extract significant endorsements or skills from their profile.I will also need to scrape their website and extract mission or vision statement, if available. Scan for recent news or blog posts about major achievements or initiatives. Identify any awards or recognitions the company has received recently.With the above information I will use ChatGPT to craft a 1-2 sentence introduction that includes a compliment based on the scraped info.Then with the processed data as context, instruct OpenAI's GPT-4 to generate a personalised introduction that addresses the prospect and highlights positive aspects from the extracted data.With

How to distribute leads to clients based on state/region?

I am using Facebook primarily to generate leads however would like to start doing so through my websites. The issue I have is if a lead comes in from region 1, this needs to go client A, B & C. However is the lead comes in from region 2, this lead would need to go to client D, E & F.So the lead needs to be sorted and distributed based on the region, which then emails the correct clients.My question is, how to sort & distribute leads to clients based on state/region?My method through facebook involves using a BCC and storing the clients details in there so when the form (which is region specific) is propagated, then the lead is automatically received by those clients.I would like to replicate something similar through the website without having to resort to creating a separate form for every single region which would be a nightmare.Ideally I would like to achieve this without having to resort to data dumping into a google sheet and then using zapier to read the sheet and the

Dynamic handling of API keys to apps

I have a zap which makes use of ChatGPT app. I have a requirement to utilize the API key sent into the zap’s trigger step to connect using a provided OpenAI account connection for the steps. Is there any way to utilize the integrated ChatGPT app in Zapier with a dynamically provided API key, or would I need to convert all the steps using that app to instead use a Code app and handle the API requests with custom code?

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

Onedrive - update sharing links of files with specific requirements

Hello, I am wondering how to automate the process of updating sharing links for OneDrive files located within one folder and secured by unique passwords. These files are located in corporate OneDrive and shared with external users using option "share the link with anyone", so I need to adhere to the following rules:a) The sharing link for each file needs to be refreshed every 30 days to remain active.b) Whenever I update the sharing settings of a file, the shared file link should remain identical to the previous one. (Each file already has its unique link, so I can only modify the sharing settings related to the link's duration.)c) Each file has its own unique password, which cannot be altered each time the sharing settings are updated - password has to be exactly the same as the previous one.Could you guide me if there is a possibility to simply automate this process using advanced options of Zappier? If so, could you provide me any instruction how to configure it? Thanks in advance f

Active Campaign Trigger off NEW Deals only

Figured this workaround out for anyone that could be struggling with it. Another option would be to set up an automation with a webhook instead of the notification email but AC webhooks only send contact info and not deal information. The below would allow you to set up a notification email that can send deal information which should cover most of the information you could need but if not, you can add a search step in Zapier to pull with the parsed deal title. Feel free to contact with any questions during implementation.***************************Step 1: Set your trigger to Email Parser by Zapier and New Email. Create a Parser account if you haven’t and a new mailbox. Copy the mailbox, should be something like xxxxxxxx@robot.zapier.com. Feel free to rename it if you want. Step 2: Create a new automation in Active Campaign that triggers when a contact enters any pipeline and can run multiple times. This tells AC to run for any pipeline, any time a contact is added.

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?

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

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?

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.

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.

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.
