Question

query exist in request?


In Zapier code I want to check if query.XXX or query.YYY is part of the received data.

 

It is super stupid made, but it cant be fixed → so I can’t just take it as one input data.

 

So how to check if query.XXX is part of the request

 

Thank you

Hi @RasmusMadsen 

Good question.

Perhaps you can use a Filter step instead of a Code step: https://zapier.com/apps/filter/help

Otherwise, provide more context about how you are trying to configure your Zap steps.

Thank you for the reply @Troy Tessalone → unfortunately I can't use filter.

The system I use is super stupid, but if a product is selected it shows a value.

If the product is not selected, it is removed from the data (response).

So I have to somehow check if the name exists in response and then define a variable.

And I have to do that on 10 products.

Does it make sense?

if var1 is in response:var1 = value1If var1 is not in response:Do nothingAlso for the next product

if var1 is in response:var1 = value1

If var1 is not in response:Do nothing

Also for the next product

Sounds like a series of IF statements would work.

 

This related article might provide guidance.

 

If you need help configuring the Code, consider hiring a Certified Zapier Expert: https://zapier.com/experts/automation-ace

IF statement search for value not the query. So in the article I need to know if it is “Joe”. The value on my query is a random number.

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thank you so much

We’d need to see screenshots with the data you are trying to use in the Code step to have enough context.

Thank you - let me try 🙌

 

Data example 1:

 

The check on if those exist (12 in total)
querystring__Komplet_Polering

querystring__Bundbehandling

querystring__Maling

querystring__Krsel

querystring__materialer_og_miljafgifter

 

If exist in query I need to define a variable with the value. 

So Komplet_Klargring = 6195

Each of these are variables with values that can be mapped to following Zap action steps using the custom mapping option.

 

 

Not as I see it.

Sometimes the endpoint is given:

querystring__Komplet_Polering

querystring__Bundbehandling

 

Next time:

querystring__Bundbehandling

querystring__Maling

 

How do set Komplet_Polering to 0 in the second?

In that case, you’d need to map every possible variable as an input in a Code step.

Then in the Code step you can do this.

EXAMPLE

Inputs

Var1 = {Var1}

 

Code (JavaScript)

let Var1 = inputData.Var1 || 0; // set default to 0 if no input variable exists

let Var1 = inputData.Var1 || “”; // set default to “” if no input variable exists

let Var1 = inputData.Var1 || null; // set default to null if no input variable exists

let Var1 = inputData.Var1 || false; // set default to false if no input variable exists

Thank you → I am getting closer! Hopes it is okay to ask the last one. 

 

What am I missing here:
