About the Code & Webhooks Forum

If you’re asking a question in this category, it should be about the Code by Zapier app and/or the Webhooks by Zapier app.   If you’re not sure whether you can/should use one of those apps, it’s OK to ask that here. Chances are great that whoever responds will be able to properly advise you.FAQsI have a question about developing an app on the Zapier platform...can I ask about that here?For questions like that, please ask in the Developer Discussion forum. And to be clear, we’re talking about the Developer Platform, where you can build your own integration.Do you consider RegEx to be code? It’s pretty complex!Possibly in the future, but for right now this is solely for questions related to Code by Zapier and/or Webhooks by Zapier.What about Storage by Zapier? That feels sort of Code-y to me.See the response above. Maybe at some point we’ll expand, but for now it’s limited to the 2 apps mentioned.If I’m not sure if I need Code or Webhooks and ask in General Questions, what will happen?If

Discord bot reached maximum number of servers

I've tried numerous times to make a connection with Discord, but everytime I try to do so and grant alle the requested rights to the zapier bot, it returns an error message saying that “This bot has reached the maximum number of servers". I'm not sure what it means by that.The only thing the documentation advices me to do, is allow the bot to set webhooks. Since the bot hasn't even managed to show up, I've temporarily given @everyone the right to manage webhooks. When that also didn't work I switched of all the permissions the zapier bot requested, save the webhook permission. And even that didn't work. I'm running out of ideas. How can I solve this problem?

Formatter not sending Google Sheets all the data from the Webhook

Hi ,I am new to Zapier and I am working with The webhook app to pull data from my warehouse.  I am tring to get a simple list of model number and quantity available. The webhook pulls all data form the warehouse and is a large data dump.  When I use formater to pull the fields into google sheets I get all of my items but only three quarters of the quantity available field. My question is , does the formater have data limits?  if so can I send quires with the webhook to filter out the data that I actually need so I am not pulling in a massive amount of data?

Transferring ownership of zap to another user results in catch webhook url being updated - why?

Hi folks,    I created a zap where the trigger step is a catch hook (i.e. a webhook that catches data from a post request). The trigger step is the default zapier webhook app.    In this app, I am given a generated Custom Webhook URL. I tested the app and all works as expected.    I then transferred ownership of the app to another team member. Interestingly the generated Custom Webhook URL changed as a result of transferring ownership, with no warning. As a result, the zap was no longer ‘catching’ posts meant for the zap, as they were posting to the old URL. To fix the issue, I had to update any post requests to the new URL.    Has anyone had a similar experience? I found this change confusing. There were no warnings to this effect when transferring ownership nor were there any error messages when the transfer took place, which meant the zap was not triggering and the process that depended on it was silently failing.    I’ve had a look through the docs and community posts, but I haven’

Nested line items - returning comma separated string

Transform a big data sample --- Webook --> JSON --> Google Sheet

Hello there! I have 2 questions: How can I get nested JSON data from a GET zapier webhook? How can I transform this nested JSON data into a google sheet Background Information I am trying to find a way get data through a GET webhook, this can't be a “Catch hook” trigger because I can only use API Webhooks. I managed to do this but now I want to put this big data sample in google sheet in rows and columns. I see a lot of tools online to convert this with Nested JSON output, but I cant find a way to do it in Zapier, who can help me? If you know a better way to get the job done that's also fine, als long as I can import the data in a google sheet through a webhook.

monday.com 500 Error when using Webhooks by Zapier

I have several zaps that use the Webhooks action to send Monday API POST requests. These steps have suddenly started failing as of this morning. The error is “internal server error”.Below is a screenshot of the most simple request that is failing with Zapier. I have also tried this request using the Monday API Request (Beta) action.This exact same request succeeds when sent via Postman, so I suspect it’s something with Zapier but the only issue on the status page is with Facebook Ad hydration errors. And it doesn’t seem to be an issue with escaping query values as the responses on another recent forum post suggests.

API Request with x-www-form-urlencoded

I am currently trying to use an API Request step in a Zap to update a field on Chargebee; they don’t take JSON requests so I’m trying to change it into x-www-form-urlencoded.

Is the HTML "a" tag attribute "ping" supported by the Gmail actions?

Per this article, “What (sic) HTML tags are supported in GMail,” the <a> tag is supported, however, I am wondering if the <a> tag’s `<a ping="URL">”` attribute is supported (along with the more common `<a href="URL">”` attribute which works just fine)?When I open the following HTML in a browser:<a href="craigslist.org" ping="https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/8675309/biv0iDs/?recordID=rec6q2j4pSPxwWjcl&emailResponse=a%20ping">PRESS TO PING</a>...it creates a hyper text link to Craigslist.  When I click the link, it also invokes a ping to the Zapier Webhook URL.  The Webhook trigger Catch Hook URL catches the data, and a subsequent Zapier Action updates via the recordID query parameter and updates the appropriate record’s field with the emailResponse parameter.When I include this HTML code in a GMail, the result is only loading Craigslist - no Hook Catch :\ Is this a GMail restriction?  Zapier?Which attributes of the HTML <a></a> tag

Cannot Send Variables To Twilio With Webhook

I’m trying to setup a zap that takes information from a Google Sheet and then sends that to Twilio for the data to be referenced in a studio flow. The webhook successfully makes a call, but when on the call, none of the variables such as doctor or attorney are included. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I’ve looked at about 15 guides and just can’t get it. Also, the weird formatting on “Doctor”, “Attorney”, and “Address” is from another community post. I have tried the zap without those pieces surrounding the variable and gotten the same result.
