"fields list" trigger input

Hello,I need to allow a Zapier user to create a Zap that syncs entities containing custom fields between my platform and a CRM.It seems the best way to do that would be allowing the user to specify the field list on a trigger, using a form looking like this one :i.e. the user inputs multiple items, each having 3 properties :key ; label, which, as a last resort, could be auto-generated from the key property on my back-end, although it would reduce the user’s experience ; type, which needs to be a dropdown offering a few choices like string/integer/boolean/datetime ;How to do that ?The string input field with the allow multiples option would only allow specifying 1 property per item The dictionary input field would only allow specifying 2 properties per item and would not allow autocompleting the 3rd oneThanks

How to disable Zap after multiple 404 errors?

Hello, I have created a trigger over CLI for form submissions and everything works fine, but the thing is that sometimes users delete those forms and Zaps are not able to retrieve response for those (getting error 404). Are there any settings to disable those Zaps after getting those errors or something to handle this in a way to not trying to request them over and over. In current situation I see a lot of repeating 404 errors for same cases over and over without disabling Zap. Thanks in advance

How to redact fields in auth data?

Hi, we are developing a Zapier Application, and when testing we noticed that the zapier logs are leaking the user private key that we use for autentication. It is on a `gpgprivatekey` field.  Is there anyway I tell zapier which fields are sensitive? It looks like environment and password are already redacted.Btw setting the field to password does redact in log, but removes all line breaks and trims the field which renders the private key invalid.

Dynamic fields not getting populated correctly with previous action values

Hi all,    we are creating a custom Zapier integration. All worked pretty well until a few days ago, when we experienced a strange behaviour: we created a Zap which creates a Google Cal appointment when an appointment is created on our custom applicaition. The 1st step works correctly, and Zapier receives the appointment data (Appuntamento is Appointment in italian): The 2nd step doesn’t work:  As you can see, instead of the dynamic fields, Zapier fills the values with values like {{XXX_fieldName}}.here’s our action: We tried to delete the Zap and recreate it from scratch, but nothing changed.All worked correctly until a few days ago. I don’t know if it is related, but we have just changed the configuration of our triggers, actions and authentication - the urls changed, because we switched from a dev server (ngrok variable address) to a test server (public address). The variable part of the urls is stored in a env variable.Please can you help us?Thank you in advance, Barmassimo

How does my web-app now trigger my integrations zaps?

I’m new to coding Zapier integrations so I am asking a very elementary question: how does my web-app initiate my rest-hook trigger? If that doesn’t make sense I’ll explain below the simple project I’ve setup and how my question fits into it.I’ve created an integration, it consists of one (rest-hook) trigger, its an exact copy of Zapiers demo project here: https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/tree/master/example-apps/rest-hooks I’ve deployed the integration to my account I’ve setup some API endpoints in my live web-app, ie, performSubscribe, performUnsubscribe, perform. For example; https://mywebapp.com/subscribe, https://mywebapp.com/unubscribe, https://mywebapp.com/perform   I then created a test zap - the zap’s trigger is my integration, the zap’s action creates a spreadsheet row in Google Sheets. My API subscribe endpoint (https://mywebapp.com/subscribe) never received anything. I thought that when someone creates a zap, the endpoint https://mywebapp.com/subscribe is called and

Static dropdown with boolean values

I am trying to create a static dropdown field using key value pairs as described in the documentation using this example[ { "sample": "1", "value": "1", "label": "Pork" }, { "sample": "2", "value": "2", "label": "Fish"` }]The API I am targeting expects a boolean value (true or false) as the response. However, when I try to adapt the above code to include boolean values such as in the following example, I receive an error saying that this does not match any of the available schemes. What can I do about this?[ { "sample": true, "value": true, "label": "Pork" }, { "sample": false, "value": false, "label": "Fish"` }]

How do you clone an integration?

I am having trouble cloning an existing integration and I’m wondering if the functionality is unavailable or I’m just having a hard time finding it. Believe it or not I did search the documentation and this forum but nothing came up.I understand it is possible to clone a “version” of an integration - however I would like to clone the entire integration because I will want to have more than one version published at a time - one would point at a different datacenter.

Problems with Javascript String functions (split, indexOf, charAt)

I am trying to add some custom handling to the Authentication step of my integration. Specifically I need  to parse a suffix that is part of the API Key. However, the string operation functions are behaving oddly. The charAt() function always returns code 108, "|". The split() and indexOf() functions do not find the character specified.  Is this some sort of security thing or am I missing something.

Trigger with variable output fields

Hi!I’m trying to implement a trigger that would run when the user submits a form from our website. The form can have a variable number of fields. What is the best way to make these fields available as outputs of the trigger? It should be possible to:forward all the field key value pairs to another app in the next step (so that it would work correctly regardless of the number of fields) pick some fields to be used in next steps of the Zap (if something in the action step depends on the value)Outputing the key-value pairs as line items allows forwarding them in bulk, but I can’t find a way to select some specific key to use in the next step. Creating dynamic output fields would allow using a specific field’s value in the next step, but not forwarding all the fields in bulk.Is there a good way to set it up so that both ways would be possible?

Best practice for resthook security - invalid signature

I’m developing a Zapier app, via the CLI, that uses RestHooks.I want to support signed webhooks, so when the Zapier user, when making a zap, creates the integration with my app, in addition to putting in their api key (for my service), they can optionally add in a shared secret, which will be used to sign the webhooks from my service to Zapier. I’m checking the signatures in the “perform” function, but I’m not sure what the best practice is, when the verification fails.Right now, I’m throwing a `z.errors.HaltedError`, but this is not doing what I expected.When I send a bad signature, when I fetch logs, I see the HaltedError, but the customer’s Zap shows as “Success”, including data about the second step in the Zap.Zapier is also returning a 200 response to the webhook - which is fine, as we don’t really want the attackers to keep trying.So, my question is, when an inbound webhook fails the validation (ie, it is being replayed or is otherwise an attack), what error should I throw so tha
