"View Source" now available in the web-based developer tool

We added a simple, but useful, new feature to our web based developer tool this week - the ability to see the source definition of your Zapier integration.  To see the json definition of your Zapier integration, click Advanced on the left-hand navigation, and then choose “View Source”.   This is handy for those who want to look a little deeper into how their integration is represented in the Zapier platform. Have a look at the schema documentation and you’ll get a pretty complete understanding of what you’re building when you create a Zapier integration.When you work with the Zapier CLI you are essentially creating this definition, directly in JavaScript.A number of developers have expressed the need to be able to identify and confirm changes from one version to another.  Here’s a quick demo of the feature, and how you can use this source definition to get a diff of two versions of your integration: Watch Version Diff Demo

404 upon successful authentication

Hello,My team is building a Zapier integration where users connect an account via an API key. After going through the “Add Connection” flow I get a 404 screen in Zapier’s UI.From the network console it seems to be a failing GET request to the following path: https://zapier.com/_next/data/app-management-3064226381e35ed03bc1802ce3770ac91d194f7e/app/connections/null.json?hl=[someNumericalId]&serviceSlug=nullIt appears that despite the 404 screen, the credentials are added successfully.When checking the API key auth it doesn’t appear to have some requested return data, so I am not sure how to resolve this 404 screen, as it is a poor user experience.It only appears to occur when adding it through the “My Apps” tab. Adding a connection via setting up a trigger or action doesn’t result in this behavior.The integration app is currently Private as it is under development. Does this matter?Thanks.-Justin

Best process for transitioning from a Legacy app?

I have an integration set up using the Legacy Web Builder, and I want to transition that over to the new CLI platform. What’s the best way to do this? Is there a way to transition the existing users? I found this link which says a utility for migrating legacy web apps was coming “this year” and that was over a year ago. https://platform.zapier.com/news/introducing-zapier-platform-ui I can’t find any other info about that utility though.

How to process Action errors in a meaningful way

What is the proper way of handling or processing errors when defining an Action for an integration. Right now if the Action web-service call fails during Zap setup/creation there is only a cryptic message with an HTTP status code displayed. The nicely worded error message that is returned is not displayed to the user. I assume that I am doing something wrong in my API Request code. I would like to know how retrieve or extract the error message and where/how return it.  const options = { url: 'https://www.website.org/doaction', method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `api_key=${bundle.authData.api_key}` }, params: { }, body: create_update_data}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;});

Same children fields in a different parent fields

I have a `create` with a fields structure like:inputFields: [ { key: 'parent1', children: [ { key: 'child1', label: 'Child1', type: 'string', }, { key: 'child2', label: 'Child2', type: 'string', }, ], }, { key: 'parent2', children: [ { key: 'child1', label: 'Child1', type: 'string', }, { key: 'child2', label: 'Child2', type: 'string', }, ], },]And in this case only the `parent2` group will be displayed in UI of the action.Isn’t it a bug in UI as parent keys are different?

Token response as an array

Hi, We are trying to implement oauth verification. When trying to reach the test endpoint it gets unauthenticated. Printing the code received ( bundle.authData.access_token ) - gives a result like this, an object; {   "0": "e",   "1": "y",   "2": "J",   "3": "0",   "4": "e",   "5": "X",   "6": "A", } How could we convert this into a normal string? And place it on the Authorization header? Thanks

Dynamic field missing in the Zap form

Hello there,I’m trying to add a dynamic field to my zap along with normal fields, and it’s just never displayed. Every other field is present (both in the action preview and while creating a zap), but not the dynamic one. Here’s the code I’m using for it:const options = {  url: 'https://example.com',  method: 'GET',  headers: {    'Accept': 'application/json',    'X-Api-Key': bundle.authData.apiKey,  },}return z.request(options)  .then((response) => {    response.throwForStatus();    const results = response.json;    return {      'key': 'myKey',      'required': true,      'choices': results.items.map((i) => ({[i.id]: i.name})),    };  });Any ideas?

Zap works perfectly except not delivering dynamic field data to server when testing action

 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.Going crazy here because my Zap appears to be working perfectly, right up to the point where some of the data fields are not being delivered to the server.I am using a webhook as the trigger, and test data is being delivered correctly to the trigger test.My action captures that data, all fields are mapped properly, as you can see in the attached picture. But then when I test the action and look at the data delivered to the server, some of the fields are missing.The missing data comes from dynamic fields, so I assume that's my problem, but the action shows all of the expected key/value fields properly. How can it display all of that properly, but then not deliver the data to the server?Any help appreciated, but please don’t bother pointing me to the documentation for dynamic fields. I have read all that and still d

Seeing app "version blocked" message

What would cause a zapier version to get locked?  We had an issue where environment settings were updated incorrectly, leading to errors.  When we tried to fix this, we noticed our zapier version has been locked.  This wasn’t done on our end (that we know of).  What are some reasons why a version would get locked in zapier?

OAuth Access Token for AAD

I’m trying to make a REST API call to an app that uses OAuth2 for authentication AAD.I need to generate an OAuth Access Token as an action before the next action to make an API call in Zapier. OAuth tokens expire so I would need to run it each time the zap is triggered.If there are any documents or tutorials to achieve that please share on this thread, thanks

At what point does Zapier hit the subscribe post URL we set

When you configure your API Request to use REST HookPolling, At what point does Zapier hit the subscribe post URL we set here? I noticed it was not hit throughout the whole process of creating, testing and publishing the Zap (Still in private mode/development mode) Trigger TypeREST HookSubscribeEnter the endpoint URL to create a new webhook subscription.UnsubscribeEnter the endpoint URL to remove a webhook subscription.Perform ListEnter the endpoint URL Zapier should check for recent items, to provide sample data in the Zap Editor. PerformThe perform function is called each time a new hook is received. Make any needed changes to the data before it's returned to the Zap. This is very confusing.

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?

How can i submit content to my app

Hi,I have created my first app. Several days ago i’ve started to use Zapier and i don’t undestand well how it works. I have created an app. I’m connecting with oauth 2 the user’s account from my website. Then i’m selecting where will be shared the content. I’m using the hook to say to Zapier when to use my default content and publish it.For me is unclear, how to send new data from my website automatically to Zapier? If in the trigger i’m adding URL, the content is not used to replace automatically the content where i want to publish it. It is just an option to be selected manually(Find Data). Thank you!
