Persistent JSON Parsing Error in ChatGPT

Help! I get this error 60-75% of times I use GPT-4 on the ChatGPT app for Zapier. Simply writing an email based on the data from other Apps (no other apps have errors, all variables have value.)

Image from web for follow up steps

Hello, We are trying to automate a process we used to do manually. We used to manually take a screenshot of the customer’s house and include it on a proposal by adding the screenshot manually. I want to automate the step by calling the Google maps static api and “downloading” the image with a webhook get, that the api returns and use the image later on the pdf generator or dropbox.We have the google api working and when I manually call the url, the image returned is correct. When using the same URL in combination with the webhook get step I receive“hydrate|||.eJwtjsEOgjAQRP9lzxBBkLbevOnNmwdjmlK2pgFaQksMIfy7C-H6ZvJmFtDeRXRRxnlAuMIDErAuROU0StsQeWF99769PbdITyH6fgo47uGZMS4uIgGltZ_IckBRcoLGYtdIp_pNbGyHgQztT43fANdlJ3LwlvZHAu8FWpypGYpTgU2eZVylRW1UWjJWpbXORCrysuJMKJPXJbkONb2NVvdqgPWzrn-A-kNa:1qnbvq:S9ggH0kMBh0o7C5CRa7HsU5HXLg|||hydrate”I later try to upload the file to dropbox and it generates a rather useless empty file called static map.unknown Is the above process even the right approach or

Failed to create a http request in WordPress

  Please help me. I enter an api request (beta) in WP and it ends with the message Failed to create a http request in WordPress, Raw request failed. If I change the url it works, but it's not correct. POST should be to the entire url https://katarinaruna.com/wp-json/mioweb/v1/add-membership  In postman it's OK, so I'm probably doing something wrong.

Issue with OpenAI Webhook Trigger in a Zap

Hello, I'm trying to set up a Zap that triggers based on a Slack message and sends a request to OpenAI's GPT model to get a response, which should then be sent back to Slack.While the trigger from Slack works as expected, the OpenAI model isn't providing the desired conversational response. Instead of answering the question based on the role specified (e.g., CFO of a company), it is giving a generic answer or sometimes unrelated answers.Steps Taken:Modified the webhook body to specify the role and context better. Tested different conversation setups with the OpenAI API. Adjusted the sequence of user messages in the payload.Has anyone faced a similar issue or have suggestions on how to get the desired conversational output from OpenAI when using it in a Zap? Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Domain issues when using Zapier's SharePoint API (Beta)

Hi, I am glad that Zapier and SharePoint have resolved their differences and there is an integration now. However, it’s pretty limited currently (eg you can’t search for folders), so I was looking at using the in-built API (beta) integration.  I am having issues as it does not recognize the domain being used. I think most sharepoint domains are something like “//[company].sharepoint.com”, but when I try to use the API (beta), it returns an error of “Domain did not match expected domain filter `[company]`”. I believe it’s looking for a domain of “//[company].com”. To be clear, I can use the pre-built services like “create folder” etc fine, so I know my connection is good.  Has anyone else had this issue? If what I set out above is the case, that would seem to be a pretty basic Zapier API integration piece?  If anyone has any work-arounds for any of this, I’d appreciate it, I just want to do some pretty basic stuff like finding folders based on ID, renaming folders, moving folders etc, d

Post to ACF fields using Zapier Wordpress API

I am using the Zapier API to wordpress in my Zap and I want to updated customer fields. I have swicted on ACF on the API so they can be seen, and when I send a Get request I can see the fields that I want to post updates to (see below)I have used the REST API Custom Fields plug-in in wordpress to expose the fields also, which is why you can see them twice (once nested under acf as they were orginally).However when I use the Query String Parameters UI to update these they don’t update (the other fields do update as expected(. I saw some older posts that you can’t update Custom Fields from Zapier to Wordpress, but is that the case even when I can see the fields exposed in the API using the GET request?I am not a coder, so trying my best to figure out how to get this to work. Thank you.

Working with arrays coming as an output from triggers

There’s an external API that returns an array among the members of its output object:{    "id": "a8a9e039-fadc-4799-b891-187a53fb7f5e",    "userId": "ADMIN",    “headings": [ { "rank": 0, "name": "Meubles 1", "modelCode": "08", }, { "rank": 1, "name": "Services", "modelCode": "", } ]}The array is of variable length.

LinkedIn Leads to Pardot using Zapier with Webhooks/Formhandlers

I have set up Zapier to create/update a prospect on Pardot whenever a LinkedIn lead gen form is filled out.  The way this works--->A Zap has been created on Zapier. I have the LinkedIn app connected to a Webhook app, the Webhook will then post the form details to a formhandler on Pardot. Whenever a LinkedIn lead gen form is filled out I will also receive an email (automation on the form handler) Unfortunately sometimes a Prospect is not being created/updated - I found this out by  downloading the LinkedIn Leads from LinkedIn. I am really struggling with why I am not getting the prospects created/updated on Pardot. I have checked field mappings etc and everything seems fine from that side. Im wondering if I am missing something else or if anyone else has come across similar problems?

Google Sheet values all fill when testing, but not in practice.

Hi everybody! I made a Zap to take details from specific emails received and import those details as data on a Google Sheet. When I test it, everything fills properly. When the Zap actually runs, however, it only fills out the first column and last two columns. The rest are blank.I’m no expert, so my path is somewhat lengthy perhaps, but I haven’t yet found a faster way to make this all happen so maybe theres an issue in one of the steps? That being said, when I run the test, everything still looks A-Ok on Google Sheets. Every field has the proper details, formatting is exactly how I want it, but as soon as a trigger email comes in, half the data gets omitted. In the Zap Run report, it says the inputs were empty for those fields, even though the code says it’s not. I tried turning the Zap on and off, but no luck there.Thanks in advance.

Image edit option for DALL-E

I’m looking to create a zap that runs at the end of each month (say, the 24th) and creates 6 notion database entries. These database entries need a date entry (so it works as a calendar). These 6 dates need to be non-weekend and non-holiday days.I’ve managed to work out how to essentially do this:trigger scheduler for the 24th of every month create notion event titled Day 1 create notion event titled Day 2 create notion event titled Day 3 create notion event titled Day 4 create notion event titled Day 5 create notion event titled Day 6 format the date from step 1 as YYYY-MM-01 (so that it is the FIRST day of the month) format that date as ddd format the date as YYYY use a holiday list API that pulls the year from step 4 to create a list of days that are federal holidays as YYYY-MM-DD Weekend or Holiday? if date contains Sun or Mon (from step 9) or is contained in holiday list (from step 11) format date from step 8 as YYYY-MM-DD +1 day RERUN step 12, essentially keep adding days unti

Why can't I feed by Webhook payload into Subzap?

We use Paddle for customer billing, and I want to create a variety of Zaps that send notifications to the team when users do various things like upgrade, cancel, lapse on payment, etc.We have a limited number of endpoints we can use in Paddle (only 5), so I can only use one for Zapier. My thought was I create a Zap that triggers by receiving any webhook from Paddle, and then using paths I can branch it out and do stuff based on the action (for example, alert_name = subscription_cancelled goes down one path, subscription_payment_failed goes down another path). Each path is quite involved, with steps to look people up in Hubspot and Notion, so I was going to send these out to Sub-Zaps to keep it clean.I got this branching stuff working great. The issue is, when I try to feed in the output of the webhook to the subzap Input Argument: Webhook data, it doesn’t let me. It literally doesn’t let me click. When I click into the Insert Data pop-down, it shows “1. Catch Hook in Webhooks by Zapier

Permission problems on Slack API

Hello Zapier team ! I am trying to use Beta feature of Slack integration to perform API requests with Slack API. The thing I try to do is to add a reaction to a specific message.However, when running the API call, I get the error from Slack that I don't have the permission to create a reaction to a message. I guess this permission is not asked when connecting to Slack by Zapier.Is there anyway I could add this permission manually?
