How to pull out Reserved Windows Characters of string

Hello, I am attempting to save files into a OneDrive directory. However the string that I would like to use as the file name has a chance to contain reserved Windows characters. Leading to an error in the step. I need to remove the following characters from the string<,>,:,”,/,\,|,?,* I have looked at the Formatter step and can see that there is a replace function. I am wondering if it is possible to either input multiple characters into the Find field and have it search the string for each of those characters. If that is not possible I can create several different Replace steps, but that seems like a waste of tasks. If there are any other apps I can use to accomplish this I am open to those as well. Thank you so much!

POST Response from Webhook opening in new tab

 Recently I have been tooling around with using POST requests with the Webhooks by Zapier feature to “catch” data from an html <form> and move it along to a CRM.The goal is for there to be a webpage with a contact info form. The user fills it out and hits submit with the data sent along to the Zap.Functionally, I have gotten it able to work fine. However, whenever a user clicks submit, the data response from Zapier is shown in a new tab at the URL of the webhook itself. I tried adding silent/ to trigger Silent Mode. However, the new tab at the webhook URL is still opened, this time with a blank screen representing the empty body of the response. How can I get that response to be received in the background and trigger a success message on the site. I am using html embedded on a Google Sites webpage.

Do trig math or get around google sheets ArrayFormula limitations

I am trying to build a zap wherein a I need some fancy math calculated.  The math allows me to determine which of 6 routes to designate a shipping order to.  The math is a haversine formula and I would love to put it directly into a Python Zap step, but it would require the python math library.  To get around this, I decided to import the order into Google Sheets and apply the math there.  For each new order, one zap creates a new line in a Google Sheet.  The ArrayFormula function lets me calculate the distance between the order and each of 6 lat/longs that represent the center of each route.  But where I run into trouble is then adding a calculation that can then select the route name for the route with the minimum distance.  I can manually add the calculation and it works fine, but because it always involves looking at an array, I run into issues with the ArrayFormula not being applied automatically to subsequent new rows.   So I could use a web hook step, and build a web app that ta

Help with Get Webhook to pull data from shutterstock.

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.Hello everyone! I am wanting to write a web hook that searches Shutterstock for an image id and pulls that data into zapier. I mostly have this working except right now it just pulls in a generic image instead of the id I am requesting.  I think I maybe should use a different query string pattern than filterByFormula, or how i am formatting the id part is wrong.  I can’t seem to find documentation explaining that part. I am a coding newbie, but am eager to learn!

Using randomUUID() in Zapier to generate UUID

I'm using Zapier's code module to write some Nodejs to generate a UUID.I know that I can use node's crypto "library" because I've used it in the past to hash some text (MD5) to send to an API endpoint. I also know that I can use the crypto function randomInt.For example, the following will correctly without errors return a number in the stated range:```const crypto = require('crypto'); let num = crypto.randomInt(1, 7);output = [{id: num}];```When I try to use the randomUUID function (documentation), like the following, I get the error "TypeError: crypto.randomUUID is not a function" from Zapier. Their logs are showing  that the code step cannot find `module 'uuid'`:```const crypto = require('crypto'); let uuid = crypto.randomUUID();output = [{id: uuid}];```I almost gave up there, but tried one last weird thing:```const crypto = require('crypto'); let uuid = crypto.randomUUID; //changed thisoutput = [{id: uuid}];```Note that I removed the `()` and this didn't throw an error and returned

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 authenticate with Cloud Firestore REST API via Webhooks

Related to this question: ^ Zapier doesn’t seem to support updating just documents in Firestore, only Firebase (doesn’t make much sense to me as to why) and because of that, I need to write a custom webhook to do the update. That step in my zap makes sense and should work fine. However, before that can happen I need to authenticate and get a bearer (oauth) token to then authorize that PATCH request, but I can’t figure out how to do this within the context of a zap.All Google docs point to needing a running web server environment of some kind so you can execute the gloud CLI, or use custom code to generate a JWT which obviously isn’t possible here (and I’d prefer not to standup a cloud function to call out to, etc). So I guess the question is: I’d like to, within the context of a Zapier Webhook (so some kind of HTTP request), get an oauth token for a service account I have in GCP so I can authorize my Cloud Firestore REST API request. Is that possible given Google’s current REST APIs an
