How to paginate REST API for "Load More" in test triggers

Hey all,We have a Zapier trigger for “contract_signed”.When building a Zap, the test triggers are able to pull in 3 contracts as test data. However, as soon as one clicks “Load More”, an error, “We couldn’t find any more contracts” is thrown.  Taking a look at our Zapier app integration, we don’t have paging enabled for our trigger. So it looks like that might be the first step. The docs also mention that `bundle.meta.page` should be used.But where? In our Zapier scripting, we defined 2 functions for `get()` and plainGet()`We also have a variable defined as `var Zap` where we define `post_subscribe()`, `pre_unsubscribe()` and other get methods that utilize the 2 previously defined ‘get/plainGet’ methods. (e.g. `get_client: function(bundle) {return get("clients", bundle)}` Would we need to add the `bundle.meta.page` under our get/plainGet methods, like so?function get(resourceName, bundle) { var resource = z.JSON.parse(z.request({ method: 'GET', url: baseURL + '/' + res

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”.
