How to retrieve multiple records from a GET webhook and display them in an HTML table

Hi everyone, I would like to retrieve event data via a GET webhook and then write the data to an HTML table all at once. In Postman, the API call outputs several data records. In Zapier, the webhook step only gives me one record at a time and creates as many new HTML tables as I have records. My question - How can I retrieve all the data in the GET call as JSON and write it to an HTML table?Find here some screenshots:Thank you,Kind regardsElias

Webhook error

Hello!Someone left our company without any indication. I have been put in charge of IT ( we are a small non -profit team...please bear with me )  So basically, it is an automatization between Formstack, Box and Airtable. Once the  form is filled ( with attachements)  the attachements are sent to box and then the right files are uploaded to the right record in Airtable. There is a webhook in Formstack that is faulty. But no one is able to figure why (Zapier + Formstack teams) We have been having error messages from Formstack and the files are not able to be transfered to Airtatble.  Thanks a  million in advance

Unwanted multiple triggers on a zap that uses loops

I have a zap that creates an object in SAP following a checklist filled in Mela Works (a system for field operation). The filled out checklist in Mela trigger the Mela Webhook functionality.  I use a catch hook in Zapier to catch the webhook call from Mela. It looks like that each time the zap runs, it triggers three times simultaneously, leading the the generation of three objects in SAP instead of one. The webhook from Mela Works (the trigger) is calling the catch hook in zapier only once: any idea on way I get three simultaneous runs as result?The zap is 22 step long and at the end of it there is a loop iteration on some information. I do write it because I experience this repetition of runs only in zaps with loops. The two points (catch hook and lopping) should not be related. Thank for any help.Emanuele

Feedback on Custom Webhooks Usage over "Job Updated by SimPRO" Trigger

Hello Guys,I’m comparing the use of a custom webhook versus the “Job Updated by SimPRO” trigger in Zapier.Why do users prefer custom webhooks over prebuilt triggers like Zapier's 'Job Updated by SimPRO'?Could you help me understand the advantages of each approach in terms of reliability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness?

Converting Binary Image Output from Stability AI API to Usable File Link in Zapier

I’m working on a Zapier workflow where I use the ‘Code by Zapier’ Python step to generate images using Stability AI’s API. My objective is to take the binary output (the generated image) from the API and convert it into a file link or file object that can be used in subsequent steps of the Zap (e.g., uploading to Google Drive, posting to social media, etc.).Is there a way to return a file object from the code step that Zapier can understand and process? Here is the Stability AI documentation for reference: https://platform.stability.ai/docs/api-reference#tag/Generate/paths/~1v2beta~1stable-image~1generate~1core/post

Updating Hubspot company properties using Looker data for 5k+ companies

Hello! I currently have a Zap set up to take Looker data via the Zapier integration, split it into line items (one record per Hubspot company ID), and a loop to update a company property within Hubspot. It works but takes up a task for each company, and there are over 5K Hubspot companies to update weekly (over 20k tasks a month).My question is if I'm even doing this correctly or efficiently? My hope was that Zapier could take the entire Looker payload and process it into Hubspot as one or a handful of tasks.Thanks in advance!

Facebook Pixel not tracking offline conversions

Hello team,  We’ve sent the request to the support but the email is not accessible for us so we can’t send you a reply or anything.  Could you please look in to our Zap set up for Facebook Offline conversions. The zaps are picking up the triggers from Shopify, but the issue is that these conversions aren’t getting picked by Facebook conversion.  Attaching screenshots to show that we actually connected Zapier and created new offline conversions purchase pixel for it.  Let us know how you can help us fix it as for now we’ve spend for subscription but weren’t able to use the tool for a few weeks now. It is only one zap so you should be able to find it easily. The testing went successfully so its not an error in the zap.  Thanks,Nika

Json data not setting against a single input field in action app.

I want to create leads in bulk in my app (ezyagent) on a single trigger. I have created an action (bulk_lead_creation) for my app on zapier which expects json data (array of objects) to create multiple records in my app through bulk_creation api. I have selected code from zapier as my trigger app while creating zap. The problem is in configuring the action app, where I am unable to select the whole json data coming from the triggering app against a single input field of action app. For example:if data is like thisleads = [   {       ‘first_name’: ‘John’,        ‘last_name’: ‘Doe’   },    {       ‘first_name’: ‘Alina’,        ‘last_name’: ‘Roy’   }]It does not allow all leads against a single input field rather it allows first_name or last_name.How to resolve this?

Looping with Zapier x SalesRabbit & GoogleSheets

Hi there!I’m currently setting up a Zap to pull lead data from SalesRabbit via a webhook into a Google Sheet using Zapier and have included some screenshots for reference. However, I’m running into an issue with looping. The data set from SalesRabbit is large enough to require pagination, but when I try to loop the Webhooks task, it only pulls in 2,000 rows, missing a significant portion of data.Do you have any suggestions on how I can fix the Zap to handle pagination correctly and capture all rows? Thanks so much!
