RSS to Mastodon

Hi Zapier community, I have seen people claiming that you can use Zapier Webhook to automatically post new items of a RSS feed to a Mastodon account.Would anyone know the exact steps? I already have an access token etc. but not sure how to populate the fields in Zapier Webhook. I can retrieve title, teaser, image url, article url and keywords. The latter I will “translate” into hashtags, and I already know how to achieve this part.Many thanks in advanceSebaBN

Text split by comma

Hello, I am trying to format a text separated by commas, but every time the result is just one string. I have read the previous answers to this problem and I have already used the “formatter → utilities” option but still gives me the same result. While using the utilities option should I add on the separator field [:comma:] ? I ask to be sure, but I have already tried it and I still have a string after using the result on the “formatter text” option. On another thread, I also read that by using coding split.() we could obtain the split of the string. Nevertheless, I am not really an expert coding, and I am still struggling. Of what I have read the output should be: Output = { “Field_name” : result }} If the result should depend on the different data given by the split, how should I create my Onput? If someone was able to solve this problem without coding, could you please let me know how?

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

Comparing difference between two Dates or Times

Recently I needed to compare the difference between a couple of dates and I realized that formatter doesn’t really have a good way of doing this, so I wrote a simple javascript and tried to make it as generic as possible so others in the community can use it.  My use case is that we were getting notifications of a form submission from jotform days after the form was submitted and the zap was re-processing the form submission which is what I didn’t want to have, so I wanted a simple way to “test” if {{zap_meta_human_now}} was within 30 minutes of the timestamp on the form submission, if it’s greater than 30 minutes I don’t trust it.  First a caveat, this is simple code, not perfect, and doesn’t account for the various needs, but can be adjusted to accomplish a lot of needs. Three inputs, dt1, dt2, and time_in_minutes​​​​​In the screenshot I did not use {{zap_meta_human_now}} however, in production I am using that for dt2. Javascript is pretty forgiving on the date/time format, so as lon

Can I use URL query parameters in a catch webhook's URL?

Was just reading this post on the Zapier blog and now I have a question. Would I be able to configure a QR code to point to a Zapier webhook and also include some URL query parameters at the end? And would those values be available later in my Zap?If so, I could do some neat things. The post mentions collecting data for the Zap by pointing the QR to a form. In my hypothetical use-case, I might already know the scanning individual’s name. Rather than ask for it again, I could pass it via parameter.

Problem with passing json with nested arrays

Hi,This is not a new issue from what I can see, but solutions that already are on this forum didn’t solve my issue or maybe I’m doing something wrong.What I’m trying to do is to pass json file from one endpoint to another. To do this I’m using a Webhook where external application is passing json then another Webhook should pass modified json. The problem that I have is with the array filed. When I create data I have String fields. Fields are combined as one.I tried to use Code with JavaScript as was showed on the forum but I still get at the end appended string not arrays. I tried both : Solution 1 and Solution 2 but with no positive outcome.This is my row body I get with my webhook:{"dataObject":{"general":{"o_classId":"1","o_className":"Product","o_published":true,"o_id":6,"o_parentId":5,"o_type":"object","o_key":"Led Bulb","o_creationDate":1646831088,"o_userOwner":2},"data":{"category":[{"dest_id":"7","id":"7","type":"object","subtype":"Category","published":true,"path":"\/Categorie

Nested line items - returning comma separated string

Hi,I have the following data that I am sending to Xero:Job 1 - JOB-00001  Invoice Line Item 1 Description - ‘Apple’ Cost - 50 Invoice Line Item 2 Description - ‘Orange’ Cost - 60 Job 2 - JOB-00002 Invoice Line Item 3 Description - ‘Banana’ Cost 30 Invoice Line Item 4 Description - ‘Pear’ Cost 70 I have managed to pull out all the descriptions and costs as a comma separated string using the line-itemiser, which looks like this:Output: Description: Apple,Orange,Banana,PearOutput: Cost: 50,60,30,70Which is great, but I need to tell Xero which items belong to which job. What I actually need for the description is:Output: Description: JOB-00001 - Apple,JOB-00001 - Orange,JOB-00002 - Banana,JOB-00002 - PearBecause the job number sits one level up on the message format, I can’t use the itemiser or append to match the invoice line items.I think I need to use a code snippet to loop through each invoice item, find the relevant job number, and append it to the description a

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

I am using codes by Zapier to separate query parameters from a URL using javascript. 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 do you split multiple values received by a webhook into individual values?

Sorry for the vague title, but I couldn’t really figure out how to word my question.I’m not sure where to really take this Zap I’m trying to build, or if what I’m wanting to do is even possible. I will try to explain the best I can what I’m currently working on.I make a Custom Webhook Request to a Rest API to retrieve ID values. This I have down and Zapier gives me the data as I would expect like so: You can see that I have 3 returned objects (more not shown), but what I’m specifically needing is the “id” values for each object which Zapier does give me, but as a comma separated list. My issue comes into play when I need to run another Webhook call after this to basically use each ID separately to delete the objects attached to these ID, but I’m not finding a way to make Zapier do this.This is an example of how my webhook code would look using just a single ID at a time:{ "id": "123", "method": "deleteFields", "params": { "objects":[ { "id":"37

POST Request to External API with attribute Arrays

Hello All.I am trying to create a Zap using WebHooks by Zapier to import contact data from a connected service (in this case Google Contacts) to a CRM using the CRM’s API. According to the guildelines for using the API detailed here (which are fairly standard), I need to use a POST Request with the data for some attributes (email, phone, address, etc.) requiring an array of objects. Here is where I run into trouble. Below is an example of a simple-yet-complete set of data I would hope to convey:{ "firstName" : "John", "lastName": "Smith", "emails":[ { "type": "Work", "address": "johnsmith@google.com", "isPrimary": false } ]} I was able to get the full Zap working fine with simple json strings. Namely, I could get the contact info from Google Contacts, field map first/last name, prefix, suffix etc. into the POST Request, and then fire the webhook off to the CRMs API. Sure enough, it would give me a success message and add a new

How to send an array in webhook?

Hello,I’ve got a very basic question for anyone familiar with webhooks and posting data.I have a two step Zap where I:Get a sale from a system Post the sale back to the system with one line item amendedI can “get” the data very easily and successfully.However, when I post it back, I can’t figure out how to handle the array. The API I am using specifies that I send products back as an array of objects called “register_sale_products”, but how do I actually do this in my zap?Do I have one field with the key named “register_sale_products” and then all my data inside it, with zapier using its line items? Or do I create each field as its own key? I’m not really sure how to get this data back into the post request correctly.A screenshot of the two examples I’ve tried is below. What am I missing?
