How do I lookup a specific row (3rd from the last) in a Google Sheet using Zapier?

Im wanting to lookup a specific row that is the 3rd row up from the last row in a google sheet. So for example, if the last value input into a row is in row 10, I want to look up what the data is that is 3 rows up from this, so in row 7, in a specific column. Is this possible?

Webhooks that send varying data

Hey!I am creating a Zapier Integration that attaches to forms in our application. Each customer of ours has many forms, each with varying fields. How do we dynamically handle fiends. I’d love to just send JSON over with the fields in key/value pairs, but since this varies from request to request and the possibilities are infinite, how do zapier users access that data in their zaps?  Ie.) if the output doesn’t define the field “first_name” is there a way to access that in actions for when it exists? Thanks in advance!

Make `,1` work in line itemizer?

Currently building a private integration where data extraction is performed Screenshot  Problem is from step 3 to step 4, I tried to line-itemize a `,1` line item output from 3, with config as belowNote this `,1` means empty `` for product A, `1` for product BPay attention to `Quantity` value - `,1` When testing, it converted into `productA: 1; productB: none` instead Here’s the bug - if I manually input `,1`, it works as expected Does anyone know how do I fix this? Should I avoid using Zapier line-itemizer and create my own with string manipulation? Thanks a lot!

Zapier only outputs first json object, having troube useing looping

I have been given the assignment to connect our company's API to Zapier with custom connectors. This appears to be working although it only returns the first item of the JSON object (fig 1) which seems to be the norm for zapier. I added the option (fig 2) to output all data with 0.Name 0.Sequence 1.Name 1.Sequence. etc. form (fig 3), however neiither yield what we want. We have a use case that loops over all applications in our software and performs some actions with each application but zapier only does all the steps with the first one I tried to add looping and formatting but I'm just a bit to novel to really be able to apply it to our own API.Does anyone know how I would be able to accomplish our goal of having one run loop over each application available?

Testing /validating and tidying/ensuring correct format for email address

Is there a built in way in Zapier to test for the validity of an email addresses format?I’m not trying to test the validity of an actual email address, ie that it is an active mailbox, rather just that it’s a legislate format.So that the SAAS I’m trying to send it to won’t reject it.I’d rather avoid building a Python function to do this if possible.tThanks in advance.
