How to get Zapier to send through a null value to clear data in field over API?

Hello Unforuantely one of my systems produced bad data and it was propogated through Zapier to another system. I have cleared the data from the original source, but the problem is the zapier is treating the empty field as “no data”, and so isn’t pushing it through to clear the field.Is there a way to force a “clear” or “null” data value through the API call?Whenever I try and type null, it just puts that as the text, as opposed to clearing it from scratch :-/

[JavaScript] Output Array of Objects from Line Items

Hello Community, first time asking for support here in the Zapier Forum. I’m looking for advice on how to output multiple objects from an array using JavaScript and the Code by Zapier app. So far I’ve been able to pull the data from the array’s string by using the `.split()` method and to output a single object using the mapped data, but I have not been able to create multiple objects and output them as a new array. Here’s my code: // My inputData looks like this: inputData = INFO [ 'Name1', 'Surname1', 'xxxx@gmail.com', 'phone1', 'Name2', 'Surname2', 'yyyy@gmail.com', 'phone2', 'Name3', 'Surname3', 'zzzz@gmail.com', 'phone3' ]const participants = inputData.records.split(',')let i = 0// Look for every fourth item in the array starting at 0, which represents the participant's First Nameconst getName = function(participants, i) { for ( i ; i < participants.length; i+=4 ) { let name = participants[i] return name } };// Look for every fourth item in the array starting

Looping by Zapier not iterating through

I’m using webhooks to retrieve JSON from an API of upcoming / past meeting dates. The next step is to iterate through the five latest meeting dates to look for a meeting agenda or meeting minutes.The webhook call appears to pull in the data I’m looking for exactly right. However, when I attempt to use the Dataset field, it only makes one pass and doesn't iterate. It seems to me that the “dates” I created has been converted into a string. That comes from the next API call, which appears to show all of the dates dumped into one field as a single, comma separated value. I’ve also tried filtering the value through zapier’s formatter / split text, to separate comma separated values (even though it’s supposed to be an array already). It also returns an array (when set to “all”), but the Create Loop by Line Items will only apply the items individually - not as an array. Am I doing something wrong, or is this kind of thing that keeps Looping by Zapier in beta?

ReferenceError: fetch is not defined

Hi! I’m building an Action and trying to use `fetch` via code mode. However, when doing so I receive a “ReferenceError: fetch is not defined”. In doing some research, it appears that Node.js needs to be v18 in order to use this. Is this correct? Is there a workaround?const options = {method: 'GET', headers: {accept: 'application/json'}};fetch('https://api.portal.scanifly.com/api/v1/designs/', options) .then(response => response.json()) .then(response => console.log(response)) .catch(err => console.error(err));

Oauth 2.0 authorization and authentication for custom API webhook request

I’m creating a zap that requires a custom http request to Xero as I  have to get access to some nested JSON objects in the request. Is there a way to use our existing Xero connections to get  a current Access Token and use it in the zap python code, or just a way to Authorize the Zap to get the initial tokens. I don’t see a way to get to Xero’s consent screen or use an existing connection when you write a custom request as code or  as a webhook. The Webhook seems to just offer basic authentication.

Adding authentication to the Catch Webhook

I am developing an app using the following flow: Catch Raw Hook (Zapier Provided URL).  Parse data and compost a customized string.  Send the data into S3 test object. This is fronted by a serverless static S3 website form. All is well with the app except security team doesn’t agree that the Catch Raw Hook can be called from anywhere and anyone who has the url. (I agree too). They would like to see some kind of authentication on this #1 url. I took the time to research and came up with many discussions about these needs but doesn’t really give thorough instructions on how can be done.  These links includes:   All these links point to a “Possible with Zapier platform” But i guess i have couple of confusion with the platform… first with the authentication. I can understand when you want to integrate a specific app to zapier, that app already have an authentication you piggy back off of that. But with my use case, I don’t have an app. Where is this authentication post pointing to in the a

There are articles online about Zapier only allowing output vs. print but I appreciate any guidance.  Can i just pay someone to fix this for me? I don’t wait to wait a month before someone wants to volunteer a 5 minute response to share their wisdom.

Webhooks security

I’ve set up a zap -- “Create module entry in Zoho CRM when catch raw hook in Webhooks by Zapier” where I’m connecting “Webhooks by Zapier” to the Zoho CRM. Within minutes I was able to create a zapier URL that accepts a POST request which will add a new module in Zoho. This is fantastic!It’s also terrifying because anyone with the webhook URL can send requests to it, which could lead to unauthorized access or abuse. Surely there’s a basic auth or token system available to mitigate this threat, but I can’t seem to find it anywhere in the UI.I’m brand new to zapier -- what am I missing?
