webhook test data not being populated

It seems like ever since Zapier rolled out “drafts”, none of my webhook triggered zaps have new “test data” in the dropdown when I refresh.  Has anyone else had this issue?

Malformed JSON between Zapier webhook POST / Catch Raw Hook

I’m have a Custom Request webhook action w/ Data Pass-Thru enabled, sending data to a Catch Raw Hook trigger. I can see everything sent in the raw_body field of the Zap with the Catch Raw Hook trigger, but the JSON is malformed: it uses ‘ instead of “ for both the key names and for the string-typed fields in the JSON object.This obviously makes it not possible to get at the data via JSON.parse() in a subsequent Run Javascript action.Why is the raw_body field not valid JSON and how do I fix it?Note that “just globally search and replace single quotation marks to double quotation marks” is not a valid solution, as that will tamper with legit string-typed JSON fields that have double quotes.I also feel like I shouldn’t have to do ad-hoc munging of the data from Zapier to itself...

Unable to "Find a single item in an array, output corresponding field"

I was following the great article over at when I ran into trouble. After following the instructions EXACTLY and even reaching out to the author, I simply cannot get the correct output. I’ve been able to confirm that the incoming info for the step “Run Javascript in Code by Zapier” matches the format shown in the original author’s writeup but the output always fails to return the expected data.I followed the directions from the article but my output does NOT return the value. In fact, I don't have any output other than the id of the code step and a couple items for "runtime_meta". The links below are screenshots of the Code setup, Test Parameters (had to snag it quick) and the Output. Code Setup stephttps://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/27853177?key=18d81e5faa769e0766cd535f28b547f9 Test Parameters (what shows briefly when testing the step)https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/27853176?key=8e64b2a0846ef888ad497b9f28a6244f Outputhttps://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/27853175?key=70f

Change basic-auth to bearer token in webhook

I’m build a zap to interact with a REST API calling a GET method and putting the information on google sheets. The API uses Bearer Token method to authenticate. In webhook form, I only can set basic auth.  How can I change the authenticate method to Bearer Token?

Problem with using nested line items

Hello, We have a use case were we have an order which contains order lines, and each of those order lines may or may not have 1 or more “applied discounts” in a nested array. For example, here is a snippet from the output order:products:1:id: 79code: abase_total: $10 applied_discounts: 1: amount: $1 2: amount: $22:id: 80code: bbase_total: $5 applied_discounts: 1: amount: $53:id: 80code: cbase_total: $10 applied_discounts:When we use the loop from lines functionality, it would show the above input value as:[“1”,”2”],[“5”],nullHowever, when we actually loop though the lines, it treats it like “1,2,5,”. As you can imagine, this creates problems, because we only have 3 products, and each discount can easily become misaligned with it’s correct pairing. Ultimately, we want to add values together for each product to get a total discount amount, then pass those values to line items, which seems to be achievable with some JavaScript. However, when we use JavaScript, the input value seems to not

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

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?

New lines in Webhook field causing JSON payload error

I have a Zap that pulls information from a Task in Freshsales, then appends a URL to the end of the description field.  It works fine MOST of the time, however it fails whenever the description has new lines in it.  It reads the description just fine in the initial step, but when it PUTs the data back I get the error “The app returned "There was a problem in the JSON payload".”I assume there’s some way to translate those new lines into something Freshsales recognizes, but I have no clue how to do that, and it is strange that it outputs it in that format but won’t accept it as an input.Thanks in advance!

Passing Params in defined format via JSON

The issue I am hitting I beleive comes down to the fact that the App I am hitting expects the data to define ‘user’.I have no issues sending the info from Zapier when I hardcode the payload as defined below.{"membershipId": `xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx`,"user": {"email": "urna@example.com","name": "Urna Semper","tz": "Europe/Paris"}}The issue comes when I leverage the Input Data. The App I am sending to expects it in the format above. Code Example The test hits the App successfully… it just doesn’t do anything as it is expecting those three data elements defined as ‘user’.

Possible to authenticate a webhook using 'Webhooks by Zapier' Trigger

Howdy!  I am new to the Zapier community and really exited about the technology.  That said, I would like to authenticate the zap I setup using the ‘Webhooks by Zapier’ type.  From what I have read, these types do not appear to support any type of authentication.  To do this, it looks like I will need to create my own Zap App and upload it as a Zap.Is this correct?  I ask in case this is wrong and I would LOVE to be able to use an existing type as our needs are not that advanced.Thoughts appreciated!

How do I turn multiple field values into a comma-separated string

I’ve seen a ton of articles and posts on turning a comma-separated list into separate fields, but none on the opposite. I have text values in five different fields that come from columns in Google Sheets. I want to turn them into a comma-separated string to feed to my API. The challenge is that there isn’t always a value for all five fields, one or more can be empty.So if I simply do Field1Value, Field2Value, Field3Value, Field4Value, Field5Value in the zap, and Field1 and Field 4 are blank, the result is extra commas like:, Field2Value, Field3Value,, Field4Value.Any ideas?

Monday & Zapier: Returning Column ID so I can update a Column

Here’s what I am trying to do: I have multiple outside apps such as Acquity + Twliio that I need to use zapier to be able to update certain fields or give an update.For example, when someone reschedules or cancels their appointment, I need to update the column in Monday of what happened. The only way I can see to update is by having the Column ID. But I cannot figure out how to return the Column ID so I can update a specific item. What I have done so far is be able to return the column with all the data. But there is no column ID (I even added in Monday Column ID but it does not show in zapier). Anyone have a solution for this?
