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

JS Map ID field from a parsed alternative field in JSON response.

I am trying to fix the “Got a result missing the "id" property” issue.return z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const results = response.json; const sales = results["data"].map((item) => { return { ...item, id: item["record_id"], }; }); console.log(sales); return sales; });In the code above, the “record_id” in our API contains a prefix of either “a_” or “t_” or “d_”. This means a “record_id” could be “a_123456”. I try to address it with:return z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const results = response.json; const sales = results["data"].map((item) => { return { ...item, id: item["record_id"].replace("a_",10).replace("t_",11), }; }); console.log(sales); return sales; });However, when I view the output I get an error of: Invalid API Response: - Got a two or more results with the id of "10"I would think it should ret

Whenever I try to configure a action by clicking: https://actions.zapier.com/gpt/actions/ and giving OpenAI access to Zapier, it goes back to ChatGPT and displayed “OAuth state invalid or not found” then after GPT proceeds to tell me there are no Zapier actions connected even though I know I made sure they are turned on;. I have loaded the schema and done everything asked for in the tutorial.

Custom Auth Header

Hello,I am using the CLI to create a custom call to our REST API. I need to add a custom Authorization header value to include in the request. The calculation to define the Auth value require the URL being called along with some token data. My issue is the lack of availability of the url in the includeApiKey function where it would be needed to create the Auth header. I thought perhaps I could just create the Auth header in the test const but unfortunately the request object is not available there for me to add it. Looks like the includeApiKey fires before the test const, so not sure how I can get the url in that function. For now I am using the sample code added via the tutorial. Any suggestions how I can accomplish this? Any help appreciated. Here’s the code snippet:const test = (z, bundle) =>  // The request object here might work as I can just add my custom Authorization header as part of the outbound call here.  z.request({ url: 'https://auth-json-server.zapier-staging.com/me'

How to give friendly labels to dynamic output fields

This post has been edited by a moderator to remove personal information. Please remember that this is a public forum and to remove any sensitive information prior to posting.I am building an integration for our app Magicform which is a form builder service.When integrating using our trigger a form response is fetched by zapier & the data looks like this. We would like to convert that `Field 272 D 5140……….` to a more readable form by replacing it with the “Question title” while still referencing the field_id, so that even if the “Question title” changes data field won’t break bcz it is referencing the same field_id.We can change the field_id to “Question title” but it would break when the “Question title” changes.I got to know how to do it but here the fields are static for example “author__id” and so on but our fields are dynamic and are different for every form question “field_c34a23cf-5a98-4bc1-9126-223312ce9b9f”Solution :- https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/blob/main/pack

QUESTION I am building a custom integration in zapier. How to convert a zapier key to a more readable key automatically like how typeform does when integrating their app

We are building an integration for our platform “Magicform: which is a form builder software.For example when configuring the trigger. A sample form-response is obtained by zapier for allowing the user to test their integration. When the sample response is received it contains fields like `field_adf67asf9` so that it remains reusable for further responses of the same form.But when I was taking a look at how “Typeform” does it. It makes those unreadable keys to readable form by replacing those keys `field_adf67asf9` with the actual question. How can i do the same. For more context refer the following image On further inspecting the API calls this is what I was able to see. That is the fields are being converted to a more readable form by replacing the “key” with the “actual question”. How to do it```json{            "key": "field_wAkjqnVCleUw",            "type": "decimal",            "label": "Net Promote Score :- How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?",

Testing dynamic fields

Hello,I have created an action with only one field which is a dynamic field.I don't know how to do the tests. Unlike the input fields, in the input designer no field appears in the 'zap editor preview':In the API configuration phase, in step 2 Test your api resquest, no field appears either. Only one field called key appears The code for this dynamic field from the Input Designer step is: // Configure a request to an endpoint of your api that// returns custom field meta data for the authenticated// user.  Don't forget to configure authentication!const options = {  url: 'https://wtest.xxxx.com/i2mapi/v1_0/getFieldNamesFromElement/0',  method: 'GET',  headers: {    'Accept': 'application/json',    'Authorization': bundle.authData.api_key,  },  params: {  }}return z.request(options)  .then((response) => {    response.throwForStatus();    const results = response.json;    // modify your api response to return an array of Field objects    // see https://zapier.github.io/zapier-platform-s

Invalid date formatted to Today

My CLI application/integration has several actions each with one or more datetime input fields. My QA team has reported that when they send an invalid date string, e.g. `2023-02-31`, it is converted to today’s date and time.I have put some console logging into the action perform function and confirmed that when the rawInput value is an invalid date, the input value is today’s date.I have been asked to treat invalid dates as an error and to halt execution.I have considered adding code that checks the input value and if it is today’s date, then inspects the rawInput to determine if the original input was an invalid date. I think this sounds much easier said than done.Is there an easier way to do this? Is there some way to get the formatter to not convert invalid dates to today?

How long is data kept for in Zapier? And how secure is it?

I’ve created a zap that gets some data from one endpoint and sends it to another endpoint. My question is how long does that data exist for in Zapier? Does it only exist for the lifetime of that one Zap run?  I also use Zapier storage, and I clear the storage once a week - after clearing Zapier storage I’m assuming the data is completely gone from Zapier?  Is the data that the Zap makes use of secure whilst it is in Zapier? I know any handling of data in code steps or our own integrations is up to us to make sure it is secure, but if one step of the Zap has a GET request for example and it retrieves data from an endpoint. Will that data be kept secure as long as it exists in Zapier?

Rest Hook: check when POST to targetURL is still working

Hi!First of all thanks for your support!Copying question from here, since the developer forum seems better fit for it:---I am trying to setup an application using Rest Hooks and at the moment I have everything working as follows1 - When a user sets up a Zap then Zapier calls the subscribe hook endpoint from our API and we save the targetUrl internally2 - When a user disables or deletes a Zap then Zapier calls the unsubscribe hook and we delete the targetUrl associated with the subscriber.id passed on the unsubscribeMy question, would be on how to check if a given targetUrl is still `working`. The reason to ask for this, is related to the fact the unsubscribe flow from (2) might fail, but Zapier would still disable the Zap since it would not wait for the `unsubscribe` operation to be successfully fullfilled.The problem we might face here, is that if for any reason our API is unreachable at the time of an unsubscribe, we might have `targetUrls` in our system that are no longer `active`,
