How to use Zapier and other automations with an existing backend infrastructure

Hey all,I have a very general question and would be interested especially from the people who used to work in a company or a start up with an existing infrastructure and an existing backend. I think Zapier and the general no code tool landscape allows us to do many things extremely fast but I would be interested in your opinion about:When to move over an automation setup that you solved with Zapier to your native stack? Your experience with aligning a Zapier setup with your tech peers?Just to make this more concrete:Imagine you want to create a new marketing funnel and you need to make sure that your users can schedule appointments. For this you can use the tool calendly. However, you also need to send conversion events of calendly to your automation platform for example customer.io. I can do several things now: I can create a UI that completely uses the interface of calendly or I can create something myself (with more branding possibilities). Also I need to make a request to the custo

Twilio + Microsoft Excel Capabilities

I’m new to Zapier and trying to build an automation that allows for filtering a spreadsheet (Excel or Google Sheets) daily and then sending each individual row a customized text reminder via Twilio.  I understand that there is connections to Google Sheets, Excel, and Twilio via Zapier (referenced this article) - which is great! I’m struggling to understand what the capabilities are beyond triggering an SMS message for a specific event (new row, new worksheet, etc). I really need to interact with an entire spreadsheet following the below steps:Scheduled trigger via Schedule by Zapier to run daily Get dates + format dates to identify if Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc when the automation runs Apply filter to Google Sheets for a column “Day” to dynamically identify if Monday and only return records listed for Monday. Using a loop/batch type function to treat each individual row as unique and push to Twilio to send a dynamic message to each row.It looks like there are limitations for “look

Rest Hook - get error code back

I am using the Rest Hooks and everything works great - get the hookUrl, post the data to the hookUrl, and my Zap successfully runs. However, if I send bad data to the hookUrl an error correctly occurs. Is there a way to retrieve or be informed (a webhook?) that a task error occurred? I believe the call to the hookUrl is asynchronous, so the response will never contain an error. Thank you for the guidance.

Filter with the relative date

Hi all.I want to integrate our marketing automation platform Autopilot with our CRM Pipedrive.I have several scenarios. One of them is a bit problematic for me.I want to trigger the automation (a set of letters) in Autopilot only if the user that has got to the Autopilot is not engaged with our sales team. But often the only change in the CRM is the activity they make. So, I need to filter out the users that were engaged by our sales team during the last 90 days. For this I have to set a relative date in the filter, not the exact one.But I really don’t know how to deal with this. Below is the filter I try to makeCould you please help me with this issue?

Calendar integrations (via Webhook) don't appear on the calendar

Hi! I’m not completely new to Zapier, but I’m sure there are lots of things I don’t understand properly. I tried to integrate JotForm and Google Calendar, so I’d get detailed calendar events with an informative title. The core problem was that I couldn’t do that with Monday.com where this information is, but I’m trying to get around that problem by doing the calendar events via JotForm that we use as well. I didn’t manage to do this, even tho the zap said it’s working. Nothing appeared in the calendar, but everything else was like it should: I was able to make the event as detailed as I wanted, in Zapier’s end. Here’s a picture of the view: After that I tried to do it via Webhook which seemed promising but the problem there is that it doesn’t split the information like the previous way did but it shows a lot of essential info in the same section (following image shows what I’m talking about). So now I can’t get the address to the location section because the form’s address is between a

Creating an array from a get webhook response nested json.

   Hi, The current Zapier steps i have set up creates a GET request to an external service. that service replies with a list of data that is nested. My end step i need to do is make multiple PUT requests to another API with part of the URL being a value from the response from the GET. There is not a fixed number of id’s/times that it will need to PUT. Currently if i do it with just the GET then the next step is the PUT it puts all of the values of the ID i need to put at the end of the API url as just a comma separated list. I need them to make separate PUT requests for Each ID.Any help would be greatly appreciated.This shows the response to the GET request (Images shows only the first part. There will are more in the response) This is the PUT request. It currently puts them as a comma separated list. which causes an error. each of the values needs to process as a separate PUT.

Monday.com item update help please

Hi Zapier community,  I am trying to do something specific so I will try and lay out the use case and how I am going about it and where I am having trouble.  Background:I am using Monday as a CRM for lead management. Often the best form of communication is email and SMS messages. Monday has an update section for every item. Currently all emails 2 and from are automated and placed in the update column with integrations. For SMS I need to copy and paste the text messages in manually each time.  What I am trying to do:1- When Text comes in or goes out, it is forwarded in email format to a Zapier email address(done)2- Zapier parses the info from the text so that it can pick up the phone number, incoming/outgoing status and the text from the message. (done)3- Query the monday.com api to return any items with a matching number in the phone number column to the number picked up earlier (struggling)4- Put the message from the text in the update section from the item/s found from the previous s

Zapier webhook - How to recieve data from custom code

Hi all, So i’m trying to send data from my website to a zapier webhook using my own code. I’m trying to do it in pure javascript but i cant seem to pick the sent data up, if it’s sending at all. Here’s my example:var request = new XMLHttpRequest();var webhookURL = "https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/11111/ttttttttt/";var data = {download: event.data.download,upload: event.data.upload,};request.open("POST", webhookURL, true);request.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/json; charset=UTF-8"');request.send(JSON.stringify(data));  I’m not sure if this is the kind of thing that anyone here could help me but i’d thought it would be worth a shot. Thanks.

Is there a way to "catch all" web hook without defining what's expected?

Hi everyone,I want to catch a web hook but NOT define the fields that I am expecting ahead of time. Basically a catch all - whatever the payload comes in - I want to see that json sent to me as an e-mail for example.How do I do that? The catch webhook expects that I define what I am expecting to catch and that’s the one thing I can’t do - I don’t know how it will show up and that is why I want to simply catch whatever json shows up at the door and send it to me unmodified?Is it possible? If yes please share your suggestions with meThank you
