About the Developer Discussion forum

Welcome!The Developer area of the Zapier community is a place for dev-to-dev discussion about connecting your API to the Zapier Platform, and integrating Zapier into your product with our Partner API and embed SDK.  Bring your questions as you get started with our developer tools, building and testing your integration.  Share your expertise as a Zapier developer by answering questions and sharing your tips.  While Zapier engineers will certainly be hanging out here and participating in conversations, this forum is driven by community participation.  When you ask questions here be sure to share enough context so that another developer without access to the private details of your account can provide an answer that’s generally applicable to other developers with the same question.  So when should you ask a question here, and when should you contact Zapier support?Great questions for this community: “How can I do ____ with the Zapier developer tools?”  For example, “use my GraphQL API to

String or text with comma gets turned into an array

So I’ve come to realize any string or text input field with a comma, at least while testing in Step 2, sends the field as an array separated at the comma. Is there some way to globally override or change this? Over all my actions I have dozens if not 100+ fields where user input could and should contain a comma. Server side as well, I dont want to introduce handling per field. None of these fields have “Allow Multiples” set so Im not sure why its converting

How to preserve filename when only passing file contents?

I currently have my Zapier Integration set up as you can upload files. However, I realised that the files do not keep their file names which can be an issue for some of my users. Does anyone have an idea or possible solution on how I can pass the filename alongside the file contents?

Custom Validation Function for Input fields in Dynamic Dropdowns

Hey team, As seen in the image below, say I have a field XYZ and its set to required, if I do not select a value for this field, it shows a error message in red text describing the issue. Is it possible to write my own input validation function, say checkIfAllowed [which could possibly be an API call]? The flow will look something like: 1. I select some option for the input field XYZ, this function should execute and depending on the result, an error message can be shown to the user, say “Not allowed”. Or in positive case, the rest of the dropdown should show. I see I can use altersDynamicFields  for dynamically updating the rest of the dropdown. Can I in any way show a custom error message if the validation fails? Thanks

Use the line items created by a regex formatter with Airtable's find or create record

I have a Zap with a new-email-message trigger.  Each email will have one or two IDs in the subject and a PDF attachment.  My goal is to create an airtable table record that contains the ID and the attachment.I created a regex text formatter to split the subject into line items.  For example:output 1 0 Y123456789 2 1 Z123456789Next, I try to use these line items with Airtable’s “Find many records (with line item support)”.  I chose the desired field to search and output 0 and the search value.Unfortunately, only one of the two records is actually created in Airtable.What am I missing?

Facing issue while integrating my app (using bearer token login Api) with zapier authorization

Hi!Trying to integrate our property portal Api, for authorization we have to integrate login Api with bearer token in headers.But for zapier, the user will add his credentials with username and password for login on our platform. As our system Api is taking the bearer token key in the header of each request. how we can send bearer token keys (header) to login Api?Which auth will be best for building auth on zapier for our system?Looking forward to your positive response. thanks

We want to hide custom option

Hello Support Team,In our integration, we want to hide the custom option for a static field. The reason we want to hide this option is that we have already provided a default value for the dropdown, and we don't want users to choose a value from the data coming through the custom form trigger. If they map the wrong value, it could lead to the failure of the zap. To reduce the failure scenario of the zap, we would like to do this. Below, I have added an image for reference.Please let us know if there is any way to achieve this.  Thanks in Advance !

Access Zaps via API

I would like to build a service that can access Zapier integrations programatically. The service would basically be replicating the process of creating Zaps, but will use our custom interface. I would like to approach it this way, so my clients wouldn’t require individual Zapier accounts. Is this something that is possible with Zapier? If so, how would I go about it? Thanks.

plugin's environment management

Hello Let’s say I have a custom plugin in zapier, representing MyAppMyApp has different environment, like Spain, French, Staging, and developpement. The only variability between the different env are the domain of some urls corresponding to MyApp’s webservices.I thought of 2 different approaches to address that:-having a unique app: The zapier user would specify at the account level which env is targetted. Downside I see: the plugin’s logs would be mixed up between environments.-having  “several instances of plugin” with a template system. User would have to pick the plugin that match the target env. It would literally mean one plugin = one env, so I would have 3 plugins in that case. I would use the same source code but with a template to address variable domain url, and zapier push individual plugin each time I want to release  => would need a pipeline Let me know what you think about itGood day

Using oauth2 with React

I’m implementing an app integration with oauth2 where my server is issuing an access token to zapier. Upon clicking connect I redirect to my applications frontend with a login screen to validate the user and go through the oauth2 flow. The access token is issued and the test endpoint works. My issue is when the user hits the approve button my server responds with a redirect url which I redirect with window.location.href = response.redirectUrlAt this point you can see the zapier screen for a short second and the window closes. Is this what is supposed to happen? I assume it’s displaying some sort of success message (since it works). But it seems like kind of a bad user experience since there’s no real validation that the connection worked.

NLA, Langchain and Google sheets

I am working on an AI project with Langchain, a platform that allows me to use large language models (LLMs) for various tasks. I have connected my Langchain project with the Zapier NLA API, which is supposed to enable me to integrate different apps and services with natural language commands. I have written some Python code to run my project, but it does not seem to work properly. The code should send some data from my project to a new row in a Google sheet, but when I check the sheet, nothing has changed. I don't know why this is happening, and I can't find any helpful tutorials on the Langchain website. The tutorials are only for basic use cases, but I need to use AutoGPT, a custom agent that uses long-term memory and a prompt for independent work. I have tried contacting Zapier support, but they are very slow to reply. Does anyone have any experience with using Zapier and Langchain together with AutoGPT? I would appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you.
