Formatter Chunking for AI prompt not feeding into next step for Looping

I have a Zap to summarize Gong Call Transcripts through OpenAI. I am using the ‘Split Text into Chunks for AI Prompts (beta)’ in Formatter to chunk the transcripts into a size that fits the OpenAI token limit. I can see in the Formatter Results that it is successfully ‘chunking’. However in the subsequent ‘Looping’ step, the ‘Output Chunks Chunk’ from the Formatter step is not being delivered as a ‘Chunk’, it is still the entire transcription. As a result I am not able to run the Flow into OpenAI as the prompt exceeds the token limit. What am I doing wrong? See screenshots below for the current setting of the ‘Formatter’, and the ‘Looper’ step next. I am trying to follow the Zapier-provided template for OpenAI chunking of large form text.Formatter screenshot:Split Text into Chunks for API Prompts in the Test is successfully outputting in line-itemsLooper Screenshot: Any/all next steps are not recognizing the line-item breaks from the formatter step

Using a webhook to get a Notion page body

I’ve seen a feature request to have the Notion page body available as part of the update database action and that would be super handy here.What I’ve gathered via the Notion API documentation is that it’s possible using a webhook to get the Notion page body. ChatGPT told me to use the pages endpoint but according to this page, I should be using the blocks endpoint. I tried the pages endpoint but for whatever reason the page ID i provided wasn’t working even though I verified it against the page ID when I looked at the page URL in my browser. I did notice that the page title was coming through in the URL so I tried including that in the get request using the pages endpoint and that still gave an error.So I’ve tried using the page ID in the {block ID} portion of the retrieve block children endpoint (reference linked above), but that didn’t work either. I probably have the wrong ID being used.Does anyone have any experience using Notions API to pull the Notion page body? I appreciate your

Javascript code action - is it possible to throw a HaltException?

If I have a javascript code step in a Zap, can I throw an exception to get the Zap to halt? I found there was a  HaltException and/or HaltError in the CLI, but wasn’t sure if it was available in the WebUI code steps.Here’s my scenario - I have a javascript code block that maps inputs to a location ID. Works great, when the location is found. When the location isn’t found, I can return -1 or something that causes an error in one of the later steps… but I know at the current step that I have a problem - and I’d like to just stop the Zap at that point so I can investigate or fix the location ID mapping.Oh - I guess I could get the Zap to stop processing by doing something silly like this:if( locationID == null ) {  someObviousSyntaxException();}It will cause the execution to fail because the method isn’t found, but I hope there is a better way to stop the Zap from continuing.

HELP! How do you parse webhooks data as number instead of a string

I am trying to send data to an application not currently supported by Zapier via the POST webhooks zap. Everything works fine except for number fields, which got me thinking… If i wanted to send data as a string or as a number, how would i distinguish them in the datafields? eg lets say i wanted Zapier to read ‘duration’ as a string and ‘duration-2’ as a number. How can i distinguish this in the set up? My problem is that i need to input a number value but Zapier seems to parse the data as a string. What can i do to make it read it as a number?

Incomplete Subitem data through webhook automation

Good morning, I need your help, I am trying to obtain the data of a Monday subitem in Zapier through webhooks, the webhook gives me the information of the subitem but incomplete, it gives me several IDs but none of the item that I obtain as such, if I could obtain the item ID could have access to do that without problem. Do you know why the webhook gives me incomplete information?

Passing Date fields from Asana to Smartsheet

I have developed a series of zaps to pass data back and forth between Asana and Smartsheet. However, dates values are not being captured. The GID of the two custom properties are below: {"gid":"1204157135060130","name":"Material Deadline","resource_subtype":"date","resource_type":"custom_field","type":"date","is_formula_field":false},{"gid":"1204157139710892","name":"Material Event Start Date","resource_subtype":"date","resource_type":"custom_field","type":"date","is_formula_field":false}, When I attempt to push the date values to Smartsheet columns it returns the below from “Data In”: “Data In” - Asana Task Creates Smartsheet Row. These are the errors for custom date fields. Similarly, when I use webhooks to send the information back to Asana it just says “No Data” despite there being a value in the smartsheet cell.  Has anyone experienced this?

Domain issues when using Zapier's SharePoint API (Beta)

Hi, I am glad that Zapier and SharePoint have resolved their differences and there is an integration now. However, it’s pretty limited currently (eg you can’t search for folders), so I was looking at using the in-built API (beta) integration.  I am having issues as it does not recognize the domain being used. I think most sharepoint domains are something like “//[company].sharepoint.com”, but when I try to use the API (beta), it returns an error of “Domain did not match expected domain filter `[company]`”. I believe it’s looking for a domain of “//[company].com”. To be clear, I can use the pre-built services like “create folder” etc fine, so I know my connection is good.  Has anyone else had this issue? If what I set out above is the case, that would seem to be a pretty basic Zapier API integration piece?  If anyone has any work-arounds for any of this, I’d appreciate it, I just want to do some pretty basic stuff like finding folders based on ID, renaming folders, moving folders etc, d

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?

Hello! Hoping I can find a resolution. Zapier support couldn’t offer any help.I’m trying to sync orders from WooCommerce to Pardot. My credentials for Pardot are good:  And I’m only attempting to populate email, first name, and last name:  But it fails -- I get this error: Failed to create a prospect in PardotPardot ran into an error; Your account is unable to use version 4 of the API.. Error code: 89  OK, fine. So I tried adding a Pardot account using V5 of the API. And got this error:Failed to create a prospect in PardotPardot ran into an error: The requested record was not found.. Error code: 109 Any insight from other Zapier and Pardot users? I had the same problem when trying to sync LinkedIn leads to Pardot last month, and I’m not sure if it’s an issue with my Pardot account OR a Zapier issue.Thanks!!

How to get array of arrays from Shopify field?

I have a Shopify field (“Line Items Properties Name”) coming in as an array of arrays (e.g. [“_instoreAppId”], [“1”, “4”, “6”, “10”, “_instoreAppId”]). I need to work with that in a Code step, but Code forces everything into a string (and not even JSON), so when it comes in, it ends up looking like “_instoreAppId,1,4,6,10,_instoreAppId”, which is not helpful. When I try to do a line-item-to-text formatter step and separate the array items by |||, I get the nonsensical output ofoutput item_1 _instoreAppId,1,4,6,10,_instoreAppId item_2 _instoreAppId,1,4,6,10,_instoreAppId item_last _instoreAppId,1,4,6,10,_instoreAppId text _instoreAppId,1,4,6,10,_instoreAppId|||_instoreAppId,1,4,6,10,_instoreAppIdHow is one supposed to get this data?

Nested ID

I am trying to integrate with the QuickBooks Time API, specifically with time off requests. The API docs are found here: https://tsheetsteam.github.io/api_docs/?java#retrieve-time-off-requests   Here is the code I have in Zapier. Note, I had to put a [] around the results to remove the “Results must be an array, got: object,” error.const options = { url: 'https://rest.tsheets.com/api/v1/time_off_requests', method: 'GET', headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${bundle.authData.access_token}` }, params: { }}return z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const results = response.json; // You can do any parsing you need for results here before returning them return [results]; }); Here is a typical output according to the API docs.

Handle loops and non-loops in same Zap flow?

Hello! Bit of backstory.  We ran into an issue with Salesforce and Zapier where we had an outbound message starting a Zap that ends up sending a slack message.  However when Salesforce send multiple sets of data in the same outbound message (for instance via a batch update in Salesforce), the Zap would break because it couldn’t split up the data. I found a way to get it to work using the Loops functionality, but now that new “looping Zap” won’t work for single messages caught in the webhook, and the original “single Zap” still can’t handle multiple messages.  So we would have to have two zaps running that would fail in the opposite scenario. Is there a way to build both of these into the same Zap and have it run one way (with loops) if there is multiple sets of data and then another way (without loops) if there isn’t?  The Filter option only has the ability to stop or go forward from what I can tell, not branch, and even then I didn’t see any option to differentiate based on the incomi
