Use environmen variable in zapier cli -> authentication.js ->fields -> helpText

I can’t make my deployment smooth, because i can’t just switch my environment and push changes, because also i must change link to my authorization page at helpText (because it still doesn’t support environment variables). Is there any way to use environment for help text now or i must always remember to change my helpText manually every time i switch between integrations of same API, but different countries (each country has different set of actions/triggers, so i can’t just use single integration).

Nested arrays are converted into strings

I have a simple nested array generated by a code action step (JS).const array = [['dog', 'cat'],['zebra', 'giraffe']];Now, I use a ‘Loop by Zapier’ step to loop through the top level arrays - but every iteration returns a string of the whole array:dog,cat,zebra,giraffe How do I get the actual subarrays in the loop? Basically I want to be able to use the following:First iteration:[‘dog’, ‘cat’]Second iteration:[‘zebra’, ‘giraffe’] Is this possible?

How do I fix "must have a static sample (D012)"

Your documentation says that a static sample is very important, but they don’t say how to specify one.I have a CLI project, but the documentation appears to be only for a UI created application.I have three required fields, and a heap of optional fields. I see data for the required fields when doing “Set up action” in the Action part of the Zap. The tests pass. A record is created when I trigger the Zap. Everything seems to be working except validation fails.How do I specify a “static sample”?

Need a Titlecase Label is not going away!

To-dos that must be addressed before your integration can be included in the App Directory: I’m getting a warning to change the Titlecase but when I do, the warning doesn’t go away. I even had just one word in the field - capitalized - and still got the error.

Has anyone dealt with Survey Monkey Apply (not regular SM - smapply.io)

Trying to make a simple Zap from Survey Monkey Apply (smapply.io). It seems to be hell on earth for developers. Documentation is garbled and non-existant on Survey Monkey Apply’s end and I am having a hell of a time dealing with this. They also keep “updating” things, which is extra fun.NOTE: It is NOT like regular Survey Monkey, so I don’t need simple advice on how to do that. This is specifically an ask for Survey Monkey Apply.

Code Storage Exceeeded Error when reconnecting an integration

We have a custom integration that we’ve been using for months without a problem until sometime over the past day or so.  It looks like the connection to our own servers expired, but when I try to reconnect it I’m getting this error: We hit an error adding your new accountauthentication failed: An error occurred (CodeStorageExceededException) when calling the CreateFunction operation: Code storage limit exceeded. I then added some code on our own servers and checked our internal server logs to see if Zapier was even hitting our servers and it doesn’t look like it’s hitting our servers at all and the error is occuring before it even hits our internal API.I’m tried editing the Integration and adding a new test trigger to troubleshoot but am getting constant Internal Server Error messages when I try to do anything when editing the Integration. Has anybody ever seen this error before/know how to resolve it or does anybody know if there’s a larger issue at play here?  Thanks!

I have created a polling type trigger (E.g. getApplications) and set Dropdown source. It is working fine. Will this polling type trigger executed for every 5 mins(based on plan type)?My users need this drop down only while creating a new zap. is there any other optimized way to implement this? ThanksSrinivas

Feature request: date time formatting with output locale

This has been answered by Zapier Support already with proposed solution to use Translate by Zapier (which works as an intermediate solution), but that requires an extra step which I think is unnecessary since Zapier’s datetime formatting library already has this built-in. Therefore this thread serves as an official feature request to Zapier’s developers to offer output locale support in Zapier’s datetime formatter. I'm having a hard time finding information about localised (long) day and month names. I've searched the community forum and all various help articles, but none mention anything if the formatted date result is localised -- or info on how to make them localised. I did find your Intl.DateFormat library on Github, where there is a output locale parameter, but this seems unsupported in Zapier itself. Could you please know how to get a localised French date like Janvier, Lundi 3, 2023.locale - A BCP 47 tag to identify the output languageType: stringDefault: The system localeExamp

Can Zaps reuse existing access tokens?

Hi Zapier, My team is setting up an integration with Zapier, so that our clients (other companies) can authorize Zapier to send requests to our service on their behalf. We were setting up OAuth v2 authentication for our integration, but ran into a problem. We noticed that Zapier goes through the OAuth flow for each new Zap. This is a problem for us because we really only need a company to authorize Zapier once. This also seems redundant to us, because scopes are defined in the Zapier Integration OAuth setup - so each token would have the same scopes. Is there an option in Zapier to specify the behavior: in the case where user A has already authorized integration B, Zapier should re-use the existing token for new Zaps? Or, can you shed light on what considerations we might be missing? Best,Andrew
