How can i grab Data from Formdesk to an email via a webhook?

Hello community,I am in the process of building a Zap. I have a finished Formdesk form, data is entered into this form. My goal is that when the data has been entered and sent, an e-mail should then be sent. In Formdesk itself I saw that you can assign a webhook to each form. I have already done that and then filled out the form once so that the data can be recorded in the webhook for setup. However, the data I entered cannot be found there. What am I doing wrong?

Issue with Manifest.LY API from Code Zap

Hello All, I have a small Javascript Code Zap that triggers when a new Workflow Run starts in Manifest.Ly checklists. I use their API to read the details of the current run and then attempt to use a POST to update the data in one step. The code works perfectly from a local dev environment (inside a browser). Inside Zapier, all of the GET calls work but when I do the POST to actually update the field, it doesn’t work. It seems to never return, or throw an exception. This is the function that fails to work inside Zapier. async function updateDataInRunStep(runId, runStepId, value) { let url = `${serviceUrl}/runs/${runId}/run_steps/${runStepId}/data/?api_key=${apiKey}`; let payload = {"data" : value}; console.info(`Calling ${url} with ${JSON.stringify(payload)}`); try { let updateRequest = await fetch(url, { method:'POST', headers: headers, body: JSON.stringify(payload) }); console.info('Called POST to Update'); let updateResponse = await updateRequest.json(); console.info(updateResponse);

Sending data to different sheets/tables

Hi all, I have a bit of a complex one, well I think so but hopefully someone might be able to help. I am looking into something like Parsio or other parsing software to achieve this but I have also been considering just straight up using Gmail as the trigger to save $ and complexity. I am also open to either Google Sheets, Airtable or other for my database. I want to accomplish the following (reference in attached scree) Forward a travel booking email to an inbox of my choice Get specific data fields out of that email and into my database Send specific data fields to different sheets/tables that match the dataset ie send Flight details fields to the “Flights” sheet/table and send the Passengers details fields to the “Passengers” sheet/database I would love some help on how I could possibly achieve this. Thanks Chris

How to I get the matched data from a path

Hi All, Here is my scenario in zap steps. A form submission into my CMS triggers a webhook call that gets all the entries in a particular database. Next I attempt to create a new item form the form submission into my database. Path to determine in the email field in the submission is a match or not - If not a match then Create the new database entry - If a match Update the existing database entry The problem I am having is when I do get a match, I can’t figure out how to get the associated match data. For example: The form submission email address is iamfake@fakeemail.com and that email matches a record in my DB. I need to get the another value from that matched record. In this case it is an ID so that I can use that ID in the update step.

Submit ISO time to spreadsheet

Hi! I have a zap setup to send submitted JSON data from a webhook to Google Sheets and am trying to get it to include the ISO timestamp for the SYSTEMCOLUMN_SubmitTime field. The issue is that it keeps converting the timestamp like 2022-11-01T19:21:25.0946694Z to something like 2022-11-01 15:21:25 before it inserts into the sheet which drops the milliseconds. How can I set it to just insert the ISO time?

Post JIRA Attachment to API as multipart/form-data

I am trying to send a file attachment from Jira to an internal API using Zapier webhooks. My trigger is set up as “New Issue In Jira Software Cloud”. My action is set as “POST in Webhooks By Zapier”. I set the Payload Type to “form”, but I don’t have any form data besides the file attachment to send. In the “File” field, I set the value as “1. Fields Attachment”. I think this is what I need, but have not found any supporting documentation. The problem comes from the tooltip for the File field: “A file object to be attached to the request. The request will automatically be converted to multipart/form-data, with the above payload type defining the sub content-type for the data being passed.” multipart/form-data is the content type that I need, but when I actually create a new issue and trigger the zap, my API responds with this error: “The app returned "expected a multipart form, got application/x-www-form-urlencoded".” So it appears that the tooltip is incorrect and the content type is

How do I copy a whole Dropbox structure from one place to another

It's my first time on these forums, and I'm having a minor issue with Dropbox. I was wondering if someone could help. Someone alluded to a solution on the forums about a year ago here: https://community.zapier.com/dropbox-q-a-69/create-duplicates-of-existing-dropbox-folders-8731?postid=41639#post41639 In short, I'm trying to copy over a folder structure from one place to another within Dropbox. There seems to be a solution by linking a Webhook to the Dropbox API, and I'm a bit out of my depth when setting up webhooks and talking to an API. Any chance you can help with step-by-step instructions for setting this up?

WebHook Cookie Header Response Post Session Authentification (JSESSIONID)

Hello, I'm not a confirmed Zapier user, so please bear with me. And sorry for my English, I use a translator for ease. I'm trying to use an API to fetch data automatically using WEBHOOKS. It looks like the POST authentication mode is session auth. The POST response just gives a single line of text (username connected). But I noticed that there is a hidden Header in this answer, which contains a Cookie (JSESSIONID) that I need for the following steps, since I have to use this value (sort of TOKEN) for each of my following requests (GET). How would it be possible to access this JSESSIONID from the first step (POST) to configure the second step (GET) and the following ones ? The problem is that in the POST response, I see nothing but the small line of text (because the response header information is hidden). I don’t know if this is clear, but It would really help me if someone could be able to explain to me how to do that. I had already done some research and found two topics that seemed

POST request failed on Zapier but not on POSTMAN

Hello, when i got an email in gmail with an attachment contains XML (with my shopify order details) i want to send that XML to a hungarian invoicing system to make the invoice automatically. It took me some time but i managed to make the xml to work in POSTMAN, but i just can’t make it work in Zapier.Its the same file in the mail and in the postman.I tried attaching the file where the files should be attached, but the invoicing system didnt accept it, i think because it couldnt read it’s name.Few things might be important to mention:1.: I am not sure the cookies are fine, but i dont think thats the problem2.: The invoicing system API documentation say this: The request must be “multiform/form-data” type and must contain one file with the name action-xmlagentxmlfile If someone want to read more about it , its here: https://docs.szamlazz.hu/#post-request I attached photos so you can see what i did in postman and what i did in zapier.

Want to check possibility of implementing workflow.

We are working on one marketplace. Lets call it www.xyz.com. Marketplace have lots of sellers who work on services like SEO or Designing etc.. and it has buyers who purchase those services. There are sellers who are well knows and working on many services with the help of their own team. To make their life easy, We want to provide them with integration of Asana, Slack and many more things that can help them to organize and scale better. As per my basic understanding, If seller create a webhook in his zapier account and provider xyz.com with webhook url to hit on specific action, We can implement this feature but I think the flow will be more tedious for seller and all of them might not be able to configure zapier easily. I want a solution where each seller don’t have to create webhooks of own their own but as an owner of xyz.com I can give them some way that they can configure things in xyz.com and do the integration of their slack and asana from xyz.com.

Retrieve answer from answer on linkedin

Hi everyone, I set up my zappier to retrieve information from th people I contact but also from the message they are sending me back. I tried every : Catch Hook in Webhooks but none are related to the answer of the people I contacted. Making thing clear I am asking for a phone number but I don’t know how to get it. Since it’s not the same hook as phonenumber that is catching the information directly on the account. If someone knows, I would be glad to know the answer. Thank you.

Daily tweet showing that day's air quality?

Hi all, I work for a local health department in Utah. Every winter, we have bad air quality (also known as inversion season; some days are worse than others). We’d like to figure out how we can use the data from our state’s air quality agency (this page to be precise—https://air.utah.gov) narrowed to our county (Salt Lake County) to send out a daily Tweet in the morning to inform the public about that day’s air quality. This is the information the Tweets would include, depending on the air quality: #AirReport: Right now, #SLCo air quality is GOOD. Wood burning is ALLOWED. #AirReport: Right now, #SLCo air quality is MODERATE. Wood burning is NOT ALLOWED. #AirReport: Right now, #SLCo air quality is UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS. Wood burning is NOT ALLOWED. To add an extra layer of complexity, we would also like to have these daily Tweets go out in Spanish. Not sure what activity or task could act as the trigger for the Zap, but we know the data from https://air.utah.gov is updated hour

401 - 'Invalid API Key' error when updating a Shopify order via Zapier webhooks

Context: I followed this Zapier tutorial for updating an order in Shopify everytime a customer purchases a certain product. My issue is that when I test the webhook I get this error: [API] Invalid API Key Or Access Token (Unrecognized Login Or Wrong Password) This is my webhook setup: And these are my API keys in Shopify: I also enabled all the permissions from Shopify, in case that was the reason why I get this error, but still no success. Also, when I’m logged in Shopify and I try to access manually to the URL I provided to the webhook (i.e. https://00d…etc…/orders/4911250604276.json), I can access it no problem. Why my webhook doesn’t want to work?
