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

Can bundle.inputData be used for data pass-through for entire output payload from previous Zap step?

  Hi Devs and Zapier Staff, I’m looking for an official answer on this topic. Is it possible to use a variable (e.g. bundle.inputData) to do data pass through for ALL of the output payload from the previous Zap step?If so, can you provide a working example? Goal is to pass thru the previous Zap step output payload as the input for a Zap app action without the user having to define the input fields for the action. Seeking functionality that works the same way as this native Zapier functionality:App: Webhooks by Zapier Action: Custom Field: Data Pass-Through? Description: If yes, request data below will be overridden with the raw data from the previous step (you are still responsible for headers though, like Content-Type). Defaults to no. Thanks! Data Pass-Through?EXAMPLEThis represents the DATA OUT from a previous Zap step that I want to be all sent dynamically to the next action step without the user having to map any input field values.

Can we get a normal search bar on the home page?

Zapier added that AI automation builder (screenshot). I admit, it’s a good idea and I like it. But can’t we get a normal search bar on the home page? Most of the time I access my account, it’s to check or update a zap anyway. And I keep clicking in the automation thing by accident.  Even better would be AI powered search, but I don’t want to overshoot lol

Zapier trying to authenticate multiple times

Hello Zapier Community,I am establishing a Session Auth connection through my Zapier Action.However, even if the connection is successful, Zapier keeps sending requests to my authentication and test endpoints multiple times.I saw that a user here in the community had a similar problem https://community.zapier.com/general-discussion-13/session-auth-issue-requesting-session-token-twice-after-it-works-first-time-3342?tid=3342&fid=13, however my problem is a little different, because it seems like there is a trigger sending the authentication request multiple times.To be more objective, what happens is:My Action sends the fields to authenticate to my authentication endpoint and my endpoint returns the session token successfully;The Action triggers the test command with the session token and returns success.At this point it should stop trying to authenticate, however it starts re-authenticating again and it does so successfully and repeats this step at least 4 times.I would be grateful

Automating Translation Requests and Workflows

I have seen posts on different social media accounts that people are automating their business by using workflows by Zapier. This has made me curious over the last few weeks whether it can relate to my customers as well. The issue is customers are diversified, not only by region but also by their languages.So looking for a workflow that can help me and my partners serve corporate translation services to clients across the Globe. How can we handle them according to their locations and their languages?This will help us in saving our time and making it more manageable to deal with the millions of customers across the world.

New Zap missing after zapier push

Hi there,I am a newbe to Zapier.I successfully created the sample cli app as described here: https://docs.zapier.com/platform/build-cli/overview After learning a bit, I tried creating a new app and publish.The new app does not show. I tried deleting the old app, creating another one, deleting etc. but I it is simply not there (at one point I did have an app, but it said it was private when I tapped on the Zap, so it wasn’t functioning).The apps are all private (I think the first one was as well).For the second and on tries, it failed to push and requested a registration (so I did run “zapier register”.What is going on?I ran into an article regarding logging in with user name and password and then via sso (Google), but I have been using sso login all the way.Thanks!

User Reviews

Hi Zapier Community, I recently had the chance to chat with Bryce Vernon from Zapier, and I wanted to share some feedback that could help further enhance our experience as Zapier users. Here are some suggestions for new features and resources I think would add a lot of value:Process-Specific Deep Dive Tutorials: While there are great resources available, adding specialized tutorials for industry-specific processes (like complex B2B sales funnels, tailored lead-scoring techniques, or niche recruitment automations) could help users maximize the value of Zapier in their specific fields. Diving into unique processes like these could encourage broader and more creative applications of Zapier.Guided Customization on Shareable Zaps: It would be amazing if shareable Zap templates came with a built-in guided customization feature. This feature could walk users through adjusting template settings step-by-step, offering industry-specific tips or prompts along the way. For instance, a CRM template

Why Is My JavaScript FormData Object Empty?

I’m trying to send a file to an API via JavaScript within the Platform UI (not CLI).  I’m trying to avoid the Platform CLI for some specific reasons, but understand that may be the only solution.The problem I can’t figure out is how after I append 2 key/value pairs to the myFormData object, it ends up empty when sent via z.request().  I want the myFormData object to have my 2 keys and their values, plus set the content-type header to multipart/form-data with the appropriate boundary.Note, the JavaScript File object returns a not found error.  Any help or ideas would be really appreciated. bundle.inputData.documentation_file is a stashed file (previously hydrated)bundle.inputData.documentation_file_name is just a string of the file nameconst pdfFileParts = await(z.request({url: bundle.inputData.documentation_file, raw: true}));const pdfBlob = new Blob(await(pdfFileParts.buffer()), {type: "application/pdf"});const myFormData = new FormData();myFormData.append("file", pdfBlob, bundle.inp

Need help with Zapier automation: merging data from multiple google sheets

I want to create an automation with Zapier AI, and I want to do this in a single process. I have five different Google Sheets, and I have a query table in Zapier that includes the variables from these datasets I prepared earlier. What I want to do is:Transfer data from these five Google Sheets to my query Zapier table. When a new data row is added to these datasets, I want my Zapier table to be updated; therefore, I want the datasets to be checked daily at 8 AM. Since there are people with the same names in these five different datasets, I want the relevant people's data to be on the same row in my Zapier table. When I use the "Get Many Rows" operation, it reduces all the data in one column to a single row, so the data cannot be separated correctly, and I cannot create new spreadsheet rows with the "Every Day Schedule by Zapier." How can I solve this in a Zap process?

Does anyone know how I can actually contact someone? I found a phone number and called, it told me where to send an email and hung up. I did that and the email bounced back saying its no longer monitored and to try the chat system or the community. The chat bot can’t help with anything account related other then send me to discussion threads. A little frustrating! We have a charge on our credit card and cannot locate an account to cancel it from (this account was only created to find help here). Anyone have any success contacting support? Thanks in advance

Feature request: integrate Zapier with eleven labs api

I'm currently building an email-to-podcast app using Zapier, and I've found that Eleven Labs has the best text-to-speech API out there, way better than OpenAI's offering. My app is powered by Claude, Email by Zapier, GPT-4, and Eleven Labs, and it's pretty amazing. Everything runs automatically except for the Eleven Labs part.Right now, I have to manually paste output from a Google Sheet into the Eleven Labs UI. It would be fantastic if we could integrate Eleven Labs directly with Zapier to streamline this process.This integration would greatly improve the workflow for my project and potentially benefit many other Zapier users working with text-to-speech technology.Here’s the link to the proof-of-concept podcast: https://pod.co/ladera
