POST request working via postman but not via Zapier Action

Hi,I have this post request action in zapier : const options = { url: 'https://******.ngrok.io/api/Zapier/AudienceListFields', method: 'POST', headers: { 'X-API-SECRET': bundle.authData.api_secret, 'X-API-KEY': bundle.authData.api_key, 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Connection' : 'keep-alive', 'Accept' : '*/*' }, params: { 'api_secret': bundle.authData.api_secret, 'api_key': bundle.authData.api_key }, body: { 'fields': bundle.inputData }}return z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const results = response.json; // You can do any parsing you need for results here before returning them return results; }); The request works in Postman - does not seem to work in Zapier, I get the following : “The app did not respond in-time. It may or may not have completed successfully.”

Not sure how to test call to REST hook, documentation unclear

I’m trying to set up a REST Hook api request. I can trigger the hook, but nothing happens. Maybe something goes wrong in the payload. However, I can’t manage to debug this issue.  The documentation points to Step 2: Test your API Request and show this screenshot:Test API Request UI in documentationHowever in my UI I don’t get this interface, instead I see this: Hope someone can clarify how I can properly test a call to a Rest hook. Documentation is not very clear on that.

Does Zapier support connections to AWS PrivateLink?

We want to do a Zapier integration for our AWS hosted application which is not yet released and hence not available on the internet via a public IP/domain and we were wondering if Zapier can connect to AWS PrivateLink enabled services, since the Zapier platform is also deployed in AWS. I did not find anything in the Zapier documentation about this and I’m assuming its not supported however i want to make sure before exploring other options.

Polling GET Request trigger not triggering Zap automatically or when run manually

I’ve built a custom API with a polling trigger, I’ve confirmed the request gives me an Array as desired within zapier developer. When I go through the testing steps, i am able to successfully run the zap from start to finish. However, once the zap is turned on it doesn’t trigger. I’ve also tried to manually run it, and nothing shows up in the zap history even though both green checkmarks display in the popup.

Why is number string being interpreted as a date in Zapier?

Hello- Here are the details of my issue.I have a trigger that executes and then action will follow it and do a particular work.In this trigger we have a filed named as  “insured_insured_id”. This field is string in nature.End user can put either number or alphanumeric. e.g 100698 or 123ABC .When user enter number like 100698 , zapier gives the following error. Field "insured_insured_id" is not a valid ISO-8601 date in latest task (task ID: 00a2cd57-0646-ad14-83b6-fe2f097714e1).We are very close to publish over application but this issue is the main hurdle.Kindly help to fix this bug. I am also attaching the images for reference. Many Thanks-

How to get live data from input field during zap action?

I have one input field (select type) that is dependent on the value of another input field. So, I want the live data of the independent field and then provide the right choices for the dependent field. I have done it using bundle.inputData but it is getting the value from previous form, not from the live form. Then I have tried using bundle.inputDataRaw. But it returns empty object. How do I get the live data?

Need help with Dictionary input fields setup

Hi there, I am trying to setup a Zapier integration with an API that accepts data a certain way. I am using the Dictionary input type to sync custom fields to the API, and this is my current request body: body: { 'person': { 'email': bundle.inputData.email, 'sex': bundle.inputData.sex, 'full_name': bundle.inputData.full_name, ... ... 'custom_fields': bundle.inputData.custom_fields } }Which I am assuming results in something like this: body: { 'person': { 'email': bundle.inputData.email, 'sex': bundle.inputData.sex, 'full_name': bundle.inputData.full_name, ... ... 'custom_fields': { "customField1": "custom field 1 value", "customFiled2": "custom field 2 value" } } }However, the API that I’m interacting with only accepts custom fields like this: body: { 'person': { 'email': bundle.inputData.email, 'sex': bundle.inputData.sex, 'full_name': bundle.inputData.full_name, ...

Resource not passing down outputFields

Hello! I’m currently building a Zapier integration. I have a resource - let’s call it “pet”. “pet” has list, search, and create actions defined. Now, since all of these have the same output format, I’d like to define `outputFields` and `sample` once in the main resource object and be done with it. The docs suggest that this is possible, and that my actions should automatically inherit `outputFields` and `sample` from the parent resource. However, when I try to test these functions with a Zap I created, the `label` for each of the output fields do not appear:This is supposed to say “Pet ID”, for example; the field is defined in the resource as follows:export const pet = { ..., list: ..., create: ..., search: ..., outputFields: [ { key: 'id', label: 'Pet ID', type: 'string', }, ],}How can I get my resource to automatically pass down its outputFields/sample to its actions (list, create, search in this case)?I found that if I manually go into each of the actions

Search within a paginated dynamic dropdown

Hello! I’m currently creating a trigger that returns a dynamic list of objects. This list of objects supports pagination, so the user can load an additional 10 objects by pressing the “load more” button.I’d like to implement a way to search for a specific object, even if it isn’t listed; currently, if I have, say, 20 objects listed, and use the built-in search bar that shows up in the dropdown menu, it will only search through those 20 objects. This means that if the object that I’m looking for is, say, the 25th item, then it won’t show up until I press load more.I noticed that the dynamic fields schema accepts a property called search, so I went ahead and linked up my search to the aforementioned list trigger. However, it still acts exactly the same; it seems like the search isn’t called at all. My question is, is this functionality possible? Or must the user first perform the search in a previous action, and then use the result as a variable?
