How to send data from one Zap to another using Webhooks?

Hey guys,So, my automation already have about 18 steps. I don’t want to add more as I do not want to risk breaking the flow so Im opting if perhaps I can connect the end of this automation to another fresh zap.I’m assuming I can make the last step a post to a webhook, then the new automation would be triggered by this. But how do I get the data from the previous zap to this new one?Any solution guys?

Field Integration Issues - Modern Events Calendar w/Constant Contact

I created a zap that --almost-- works perfectly. But…Custom fields I create with the Modern Events Calendar (MEC) plugin aren’t available to push to Constant Contact (CC)Custom fields I create in CC aren’t available as target zap options.MEC uses a NAME structure and CC uses FIRST NAME / MIDDLE / LAST NAMESo the best I can do is a hack - mush NAME incorrectly into something like MIDDLE and BOOKING EVENT TITLE into another random field like PREFIX NAME. Hence I’ll have to clean up the data later, making the zap kind of pointless.The goal being that users that register for an event in MEC populate either a particular list or can be segmented later in CC. So minimum success (above a hack) would be populating MEC’s EVENT TITLE into a custom field in CC.MEC does provide hooks (https://webnus.net/dox/modern-events-calendar/mec-hooks/) so there may be a plugin customization that works outside zapier?grateful for any insights!

Verify Webhook after Catch

Almost all 3rd parties who send Webhooks want the webhook to be verified/validated one-time by having it return a key (such as secret_token) before it starts sending webhook events. I didn’t find any way to customize the response to Webhook after catching it - so we can validate/verify it first time only.  I tried to add an action “Code By Zapied” after catching a Webhook but it looks like catching webhooks responds before the action is triggered and there is no way to customize the respnse. This is such as common use case and I am surprised it is not being asked much. I wonder if I am missing something. How is everyone able to Catch webhooks in Zapier without doing the initial verification/validation - as majority of apps sending webhooks require it? I read it in this forum that we need have another service to “front-end” incoming webhook - but that adds another layer - if I am getting hundereds or thousands or webhooks, I wonder the other front-end layer can slowdown the performance

How do you split multiple values received by a webhook into individual values?

Sorry for the vague title, but I couldn’t really figure out how to word my question.I’m not sure where to really take this Zap I’m trying to build, or if what I’m wanting to do is even possible. I will try to explain the best I can what I’m currently working on.I make a Custom Webhook Request to a Rest API to retrieve ID values. This I have down and Zapier gives me the data as I would expect like so: You can see that I have 3 returned objects (more not shown), but what I’m specifically needing is the “id” values for each object which Zapier does give me, but as a comma separated list. My issue comes into play when I need to run another Webhook call after this to basically use each ID separately to delete the objects attached to these ID, but I’m not finding a way to make Zapier do this.This is an example of how my webhook code would look using just a single ID at a time:{ "id": "123", "method": "deleteFields", "params": { "objects":[ { "id":"37

Code by Zapier Behavior Not Running for All Data Rows

Hello!I’m looking for guidance on a Zap I built to filter data in Airtable and send SMS texts to relevant individuals (based on day of week). There are 219 rows of data in my Airtable. For background -  due to a lack of native spreadsheet filter action, I had to use Code by Zapier to fork the data (for each row of the spreadsheet) in Airtable and Filter by Zapier to identify per each row if it fit the specifications (day of week). My Zap should run for each record that exists in Airtable (219) and filter for the day (ex/ Monday) and then send a text in Twilio. It ran successfully with 2 errors that are easy to fix. However, I'm seeing in my Zap History that it only had 100 runs of my automation and only identified 39 records with the filter of Monday. There should have been 219 runs of my automation (each row in Airtable) with 79 successful runs for the Monday filter and 140 filtered out records.I read about limits for Code by Zapier actions before I went live and it said:250 forks for

Text to Line Item not importing into a JSON array correctly

Hello Zapier Community!I am having a little trouble with adding to a JSON array using line items. In my Zap, I get an array object from a webhook to Clubhouse (https://clubhouse.io/api/rest/v3/#Update-Story). This array can have any number of items in it, and they are all URLs. My goal is to add to this array. In order to do this, I am converting the line items to text, appending the new URL from my trigger, and then attempting to pass that array to a webhook to ClubhouseThe problem is when I attempt to pass that array though the webhook back to the API, I get a “The app returned "Malformed JSON in request body.".” error. When looking at the data, I see that the URLs are all missing the quotations they should be surrounded in. Any ideas on how I can surround the URLs with quotations? Or get the Text to Line Item to include the quotations?Thanks so. much for your help!

Filtering on webook api response payload that may or may not have the payload?

Title should be:What to* do for filtering on web hook API response payload that may or may not have the payload? Hi Ya’ll, Currently working with a client where we have to use an API for searching a database for files. When the API call Is triggered if the file does not exist, we get an error. If it does exist, we get a response. I know that Zapier doesn’t offer handling of errors and simply will stop the zap. What are some ways we can handle this since the API won't let us get a response that says file doesn't exist. Looking for suggestions.  Thanks!

How can I abort / Fork a Zap using Code for Zapier?

In this post it is explained that stopping a Zap using Code by Zapier is possible by adding a Filter step that references a variable that gets set in the Code step. So far so good.However: To be more efficient, isn’t there a way to do this directly with Code? I suppose not. That’s a bummer.My issue is related but the following: I have a Zap that triggers various secondary Zaps and each Zap is only running if it fulfills certain criteria (via a Filter step). It would be more efficient and probably less confusing to actually do the filtering/triggering in the primary Zap in the a Code step itself and specifically trigger the Zaps that are needed. Do you guys know of an example of this somewhere?Currently, my Task history is full with Zaps that get filtered directly after the Trigger, which isn’t too bad, but doesn’t look nice.

Output undefined in Zapier code step

Hi all, I am trying to create a code step that does the following:Takes input data from a Shopify order Identifies which line items in the order are personalized Converts PDFs associated with these line items to JPG (via ConvertAPI) Submits a new order to the Printify API using the newly converted filesI keep getting an “output undefined” error in my code step. I have read that it’s possible to use “return” rather than “output”. I’d prefer to do this as I can’t quite work out how to get output to await the completion of an async function within my code step. If there’s a better way to ensure the entire code step is waiting until both async functions are completed, please let me know. Thank you in advance!

[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

How to execute unknown large number of API calls?

Suppose I am creating a ZAP for importing order to the External API. The External API is not well optimized and requires one call for creating the Order and separate call for each Order Line to attach it to the previously created Order.If the number of Order Lines is low, say less than 10, I can execute multiple requests in a single ZAP cell with custom code and it would work just fine. However, these ZAPs have limit of 10 seconds of execution time. In case there will be Order with 1000 Order Lines, it will certainly reach the 10 seconds limit as the whole import process could take maybe a few minutes.To solve this, I guess I need to somehow split that single ZAP that is executing all the 1000 calls to calling 1000 times another ZAP that is responsible for executing a single Order Line call.    I know it is possible to “chain” ZAPs, i.e. trigger one ZAPs after another, but in this case I need to tigger the unknown number of ZAPS and I don’t know how to do that.How do you suggest to sol

How to determine number of Tasks used for Zaps with Loops

I don’t seem to understand how to calculate the number of Tasks (I know, it probably is a recurring topic), thanks for pointing me in the right direction:I have a Zap that gets a single trigger and then plays. Step 6 is a Webhook GET request that seems to return a JSON array. I want the Zap to perform actions for each element of the array. For Step 7, the input for the action is that output returned by Step 6 (element i of JSON array), so I assume all following Steps including this one will play as many times as there are elements in the array (returned by Step 6).But that’s not what I seem to see in the task history: As expected, the Zap runs as many times as there are elements inthe Array provided by Step 6, however, the number of Tasks is the total number of Steps in the Zap for each run.That doesn’t make sense to me...Wouldn’t it make sense, if steps up to the Steps that take the array as input are counted only once? Is the Zap actually playing ALL Steps (also the ones BEFORE the W
