Trigger Order

According to the documentation listed hereTriggers are originally listed in the order you add them to your integration. As people use your integration, Zapier will show your integration’s most popular triggers first, automatically reordering them based on popularity. You cannot set a trigger to always be in a specific order in your integration’s trigger list. But Im seeing that on main page, the triggers appears apparently in alphabetic order.Example: During Make a Zap But on main Zapier page So my questions are:Is there a way to set an order using Zapier cli? Is there a way that the trigger order will be the same all over the app?

Help Explain the Dedup Column?

Can someone further explain to me the dedup column? I have a google sheet being read as the trigger when a row is updated, and I have it writing to another google sheet as the action (all test stuff). I have set the Trigger column to something like ‘COL$H’, and its looking for cell data within a certain row like ‘Spreadsheet Row D’, the data in the row gets sent to the other google sheet when that data has been updated.Now the trigger only happens when the cell under ‘COL$H’ and Spreadsheet Row D is updated. Which is how I want it, since the zap would fire too many times otherwise. Can someone explain to me why that works? Why only changing the cell data in COL$H - Row D makes the trigger happen?

Setting Up Authentication for Help Scout's Mailbox API 2.0

Hey, there! I am new to Zapier’s Developer platform and I’m not a developer myself. I have limited experience using API’s and only some basic/foundational knowledge surrounding APIs.Nonetheless, I’m looking to create a custom integration within Zapier for the purposes of getting some specific data not currently offered by the public Help Scout Zapier integration.I am at the stage of setting up OAuth v2 authentication.To best of my ability I have followed the Help Scout’s documentation for setting up authentication.Unfortunately I am getting the following error:“Cannot change state from 1610418296.483357210070 to {my_app_secret_here} - please remove it from authentication.oauth2Config.authorizeUrl” For Step 2, I successfully added the OAuth Redirect URL over in Help Scout!For Step 3, I have successfully copied over the Help Scout App ID and App Secret to Zapier’s Client ID and Client Secret fields!For Step 4, I have added the Authorization URL with my App ID and secret:https://secure.he

Polling : Get all data before looking for new entries / updates

Hello,I’m working on an integration and I would like to add the result of my API call to a Google spreadsheet and then check for new entries or updates. The problem is that when I setup the trigger I have to test it and that automatically adds the first element of my returned array to the spreadsheet. It means that it will only check for updates on this element instead of all the elements of the array returned by the API. Is there a way to add those elements to my spreadsheet ?  Thank you

IP restriction error while connection Salesforce with Zapier

Hello Team,We are trying to connect Salesforce with Zapier, however, we are receiving the below error. In Salesforce, the user I am trying to login has IP restrictions. Hence, it would be great if you could provide us with the IP ranges used so that we can add the same to Salesforce and see if it works. Thank you!

Is it possible to include a flag to indicate the data sent for an Action is just test/sample data?

When setting up a Zap, the Action must be tested which involves sending test/sample data to the destination. During zap setup this may be test, fake, or sample data. As far as I know, the destination has no way know to ignore this data. Is it possible to configure an extra piece of data or value, to include in the Action payload during Zap setup tests, to indicate that this is a test so that it would be possible for the destination system to tell that this is sample data and can be ignored?

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

PerformList returns an array but still complains that it's not an array. Why?

Good day.  I’m trying to setup a REST hook and when testing my trigger I’m getting a weird error:With the applicatin/json response text from the API::[{"id":"1738"},{"id":"1739"}] Clearly the result is an array.  Any ideas would be much appreciated.  I’m sure I’m missing something simple somewhere (I’m using all of the defaults provided by Zapier).

How to work with files?

I am trying to develop a trigger that has a file as one of the output fields. When I use my app with other apps like uploading a file to google drive or sending an email in outlook with a file attachment, I get this error from testing the action.Stack trace: Error: Got 400 - <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Error><Code>MalformedPOSTRequest</Code><Message>The body of your POST request is not well-formed multipart/form-data.</Message>I followed the example code from this repo - https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform-example-app-filesAdditionally, the response from my API on the Monitoring page shows a 200 code.

Does anyone have an idea ? Is there any other solution ?  Thank you

More than one level of nested data, is it possible?

I’m trying to configure my Zapier app to support sending a payload such as:{ "data": { "obj_id": { "text": "Foobar" } }}Looking at https://zapier.github.io/zapier-platform-schema/build/schema.html#fieldschema I figured the above would be possible by defining the following schema:{ "children": [ { "children": [ { "key": "text", "label": "Text", "type": "string" } ], "key": "obj_id", "label": "Object Title" } ], "key": "data", "label": "Data"}However, this doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas on whether what I’m trying to accomplish is possible?

Possible Zapier bug?

Hi everyone,I’ve faced one issue several times and thought I’d share it with the community to see if it’s a known bug in the system or if I am doing something wrong.In a zap, the backend value for some mapping is generally denoted by {{numericalNumber_nameOfField}}. This value then gets translated to the real value.  Front-end value is: QW7PS022C0B90 Backend value is shown in highlighted portionIssue here is Zapier should’ve translated the backend value into the frond-end value and my search action would have worked fine. I think it's a bug? if it’s or not - please recommend a solution.
