Connect WMS to Carrier to create label?

Could I use Zapier as middleware between a warehouse management system and a shipping carrier?If the WMS API sends the information required for the label and Zapier reformats the information for the carrier and then listens for the pdf label response to send back to the WMS?None of them have native connections on Zapier, I’ve quotes from developers to do this in another way - but its incredibly expensive and it seems quite a simple exchange of data.Any ideas?

Connecting a custom API as a Zap action

I want to update a custom texting platform with Mailchimp with new Mailchimp subscribers.  When there is a new subscriber in MailChimp, I want the zap to automatically add the subscriber to our custom texting platform.  The platform has an API.  The Mailchimp trigger is easy but I can’t see how to add the text platform API as an action.  I’m new to this so any help would be appreciated.

How do I pass a whole object to another step?

I’m working with the Asana updated trigger, but this question is application to any step returning json data. Their API returns an object like: { "data": { "foo": "hello", "bar": "apple", "custom_fields": [ { "biz": "pie", "buz": "fruit" }, { "biz": "cake", "buz": "chocolate" } ] }}I want to use a code step to extract the value of buz for the object that has a biz property of “cake”. When I click in to a following code step and attempt to insert data, I want to pass in the entire custom_fields object. However, the only results I see are fields that are full terminal paths e.x. data.custom_fields.buz, data.custom_fields.biz, data.bar, etc.How can I pass in the entire custom_fields object to a following action?

Webhook Post sending data in wrong order

Hi guys.  When I do a webhook post, the data I enter needs to be sent in the order I enter it, however when I test the zap, it sends it in alphabetical order. Is there any reason why this is? I am sending data to do a s3 data upload.  Thanks

Shopify Line Item Properties - Null values

I’ve got Shopify orders with each product as a line item, and each product possibly having additional line items (properties) on each one. An order may look like this:Previously when I was building and testing using only products with properties, this article helped in getting it working:I was able to loop through each product and parse out the properties to eventually map with.However, adding a product without any properties is throwing off the order of how things are parsed.In the above example, the formatter would only find 2 properties sets instead of 3, meaning the Test eCard properties are attaching to the Test nonCard, and Physical Card properties are attaching to the Test eCard. Is there way to assign a null value before the formatting occurs? I’ve tried the methods in this thread but the Spreadsheet formula did not work, as it didn’t recognize that it was blank.

Export Automaticaly Data of Failed Zap Runs

HiI want to export the “Data In” information of my failed Zap runs automatically on a daily basis to an external source such as a spreadsheet:This is a failed zap example of what I mean with “Data In”: What I’m doing currently from the dashboard is:Go to Zap History, filter the Errored Zaps, select them and then click on Download After this, I get an email with a CSV that contains the raw data of the selected zap runs.I’m doing it manually everyday but I want to automate this process, I’m not sure if there is an API or Webhook that can help me to achieve this, or maybe a Zappier App that has this kind of functionality.I’ve already tried to add an aditional step for error handling but it seems that the app’s step input has to be different from an error. Thanks in advance

How to integrate ZAPs with another company?

We need to build a workflow to automate a process with a supplier, and I’m wondering if this is something Zapier can help with?The supplier is using SmartSheet and at the moment we need to manually fill in a SmartSheet form to send requests to the supplier. Zapier, of course, has an integration with SmartSheet but our supplier cannot give our Zapier account access to their SmartSheet account as the access control is not granular enough. So I’m wondering if there is a kind of Zap to Zap integration which would allow us to set up a Zap in our Zapier account which sends data and then triggers a Zap in our suppliers Zapier account which then adds data to their SmartSheet.Thanks

Webhook Get to Freshdesk

Hello, I am trying to connect to Freshdesk using Webhook ‘get’ - just a simple list of details about a specific ticket to start with.  There are a couple of questions on here already about Freshdesk, but they have conflicting information, and neither approach that they suggest seems to work for me.  Using an API key for authorisation, I consistently get the message, ‘You have to be logged in to perform this action’.This screenshot shows how I have it set up, (I think) according to the Freshdesk API documentation.  Has anyone managed to get this connection to work recently?  Where am I going wrong?

Webhook firing intermitantly

I’ve set up a very basic Zap with a vFair trigger.  The trigger uses a Webhook.  The trigger is fired when somebody registers for a specific event in vFair, (there is only one event set up).The problem is that only a few of the registrations in vFair are triggering the Zap, others do not appear in the Zap history at all.  This makes it very difficult to troubleshoot - from vFair’s side they can show that the webhook has triggered in their logs, but in Zapier there is no record of the record being received.Can anyone shed any light on how to find the cause and fix it?

Webhook and CSV

Hey there, Is anyone able to help me with my webhooks, please? Currently I have a CSV file with multiple rows that I need to add to a google sheets doc. Following this, I have a zap set up that says when a new row is added to the sheet, send a webhook. The thing is, I need this zap to be run ever 5-10 mins and it can have over 1000 lines. Is there anyway that I can send all the info in one webhook without using 1000 tasks every 5 minutes? Or is there a way for me to send it as a json string?  Many thanks, Jordan

Is there a way to loop back to search steps if there is an error?

Hi there, I am running a zap which triggers when a catch a hook is received. One the webhook is received, the next step is to search a google sheet for a Yes value and return a number in a column. Following this, the next step is to mark that Yes as No.After this, it sends a webhook to passkit to create a member. It all works fine except for when we have an influx of people signing up… We have seen multiple people signing up at the same time and getting the same value in google sheets as there hasn’t been enough time to update the value to No. This then causes the passkit step to fail as the member already exists.  I would love to be able to rerun the search steps if it fails BUT those steps were in theory, completed. Is there a way to reun or loop back to that if there is an error OR is there a way I can provide a list of predetermined codes to use.Cheers, Jordan

Hydration of an image file

Hello, I have spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to fetch an image from a webhook. The image is stored on a WPEngine server and is open to the world. It would be the equivalent of accessing it a google image search. I am able to donwload it using a browser and also using Postman. There are no added permissions needed.The hydration/dehydration documentation available is only applicable to Zapier Platform CLI and the tutorial below has a weird ‘Variable to map’ step which is not part of the step anymore. Very simply, I am using Zapier to orchestrate a GET and a POST request. The operation is really basic (fetch a file and use it further) but it seems impossible to be achieved.Please help!

Create a Stripe invoice via Zapier

I need to create a Stripe invoice from a Spreadsheet. I'm using Zapier to automate it but I'm having an issue with it and need help with POST functionality. I need help with Step 3. What parameters should I include? If anyone has a similar guide, that would be great :) Zapier logic:✅ Step 1 - Get data after a specific row in the spreadsheet is updated✅ Step 2 - Create a customer in Stripe🤯 Step 3 - Create a Stripe invoice (using customer id from Step 2) such parameters should be included (description, amount, item, payment_methods )⏳ (didn't start) Step 4 - Get a Payment Link⏳ (didn't start) Step 5 - Update a spreadsheet with the invoice number and Payment Link I'm using POST in Webhooks by Zapier. But I'm getting an error when I'm adding a dynamic customer id. The app returned "No such customer: 'XXX'". When I'm using a static customer id, I have a different issue: The app returned "Nothing to invoice for customer".

How to set webhook PUT event

I have first zap to catch webhook from Hospitable to capture direct booking reservation. Since Hospitable doesn’t handle tax and payment yet, I mark up a percentage of the booking price in zapier to collect required taxes. Then I create and send Stripe payment link. In a second zap I look up stripe id to tell the same reservation has been paid by guest. I want to try update that original reservation’s price that in Hospitable did not auto include taxes and its booking status. I am not sure how to use the webhook with put event. Google tells me to use webhook ID. But I don’t see one in the catch  or put event of webhook. I see things like guest id, listing id, user id, reservation code, and the webhook URL.  I am not sure what goes into Data and what into Headers.Or what payload type to use, or Basic Auth etc.I can’t find any example in this forum.
