newbie - can I redirect the zap at completion to go back to another page on my website?

Hi I need to do more automation and link my website to my financials and calendar systems.   I have created and tested the first zap which I think will work.   the workflow is to access my calendar system (booklikeaboss), then payment (paypal) and invoice (xero).  I have done some basic zap creations and tests and all is good so far,  but the question is I think more basic.   as a last step of the zap, can I redirect the workflow back to a specific page within my website?

Rarely changing ids?

I am developing a zapier integration. When I test my trigger, I can see the polling response with ids. For testing, I added a Gmail action and sent a test email. The problem is that the ids change once a month. I can not get emails for the batch when I activate the zap. How can I solve the issue?

Add input fields dynamically after a dropdown selection

Hello, I am creating an integration for my compagny and I can’t figure out how to add input fields dynamically. I will illustrate my issue with an example :I have a first dropdown in which I can select a user  Depending on the user I selected, I have another dropdown with many fields like adress, name, date of birth, etc…. The idea is to be able to select as many fields as I want to edit into my second dropdown and generate dynamically one input field for each field selected to map it to a Google forms.  I am able to create the two dropdown but I see no information in the documentation on how I can implement the generation of input fields according to a selection ? Does anyone have an idea ? Is there any other solution ?  Thank you

Ordering Output fields

Hi,Is it possible to specify an order for the output fields? We are using dynamic output fields to generate the labels to display for each property returned in the output, but getting the list of these results in the next actions always shows the fields in a different order than what was specified.

Newbie question - use authentication response payload in subsequent triggers

I have a JSON response from the authentication step that includes a key pair with a customer ID value that I then need in the next trigger as a form parameter for a POST to retrieve some data for that customer. I am probably being very dim but I just can’t how to reference API call response data in the Zapier code.

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?

REST Hook not performing action and apparently doesn't accept the data pushed to hookUrl? But no error message.

Some background: I have got everything set up to use REST Hooks except the last part.I have the subscription and delete subscription API endpoints set up and working.I receive the hookUrl parameter upon subscription.If I post to hookUrl without any data I get an action triggered (though with blank data, so no use there).The problem:If I post to hookUrl with data in the body of the request, the response still says OK but no action is triggered.  There must some error going on but I’m not being told about it. Can someone give me insight into exactly what my POST data should look like?  The documentation doesn’t quite say it.  It says an array, but I am providing an array in “body”, just like the array I was using previously for “polling” mode but still getting this silent error.

User Authentication accounts (OAUTH2)

What is the best way to go about making sure transactions are created by the actual end users creating them when calling API’s. We use the Zoho invoice and estimate API’s which have accounts setup via the out of the box API’s within zapier and also we have custom API’s configured with OAUTH2,  given that the OAUTH2 deals primarily with authorization and not user authentication every time we create an estimate or invoice via Zapier the created by user is stamped on the host application as the central account user that configured the connected account in Zapier.  Is there a way to set the users client credentials to be used with OAUTH2 so that when the API is physically called it recognises the transaction is being created by an actual user of the application or does this require a feature on the API side to handle this?

Instant Trigger deduplication not working

Hi,At TeamworkIQ we’re creating our first Instant Trigger. This trigger is returning a set of items it fetches from our server. Each of the item returned has a uniq id property, but calling the webhook that triggers the zap more than one time will continue to run the next steps with all of the items in the result, it is not filtering out those that have been seen in a previous execution by the id.The perform operation of this trigger is actually shared with another Poll Trigger in our Integration, so we could test the same trigger in both Poll and Instant types, and receiving the same results.

Instant Trigger Authentication is possible?

HiAt TeamworkIQ, we’d like to implement a security mechanism for the Webhook requests to be authenticated.Receive a secret as a response for the Subscribe operation that needs to be stored in the Zap context.Validate a header sent on each webhook request before triggering the zapIs it possible to store a property received on the subscribe request in the bundle object for the zap? Or any other place?CleanedRequest documentation mentions we could access the headers property, but trying to test this, I’ve only been able to get the body payload and a querystring property. Is it possible to have this validation on every webhook request received and accessing their header before proceeding to run the zap?

Instant Trigger Zap turns off on every webhook request

Hi,I’m creating a simple demo of an Instant zap using the Recipe sample code for a Hook Trigger, and sending a Slack message as a second action. After the Zap is tested and turned on, every time I do a request to the Webhook URL the zap ends up turning off. The Zap editor doesn’t show any alert/error apart from showing the zap off. Testing both steps are ok.The Monitoring tool doesn’t show any error log, only the webhook request received. No additional information.Zap history doesn’t show any record of the zap running before it is turned off.I createda a “Zap turned off” alert, but the data provided doesn’t have any useful information apart from the time the zap was paused, again, editor, history and monitor doesn’t show any error logs. I am using the CLI to create this trigger, is there a way to get a log from there?

"We could not find a client" message On testing a unsubscribe trigger

 On sending the subscription request via postman, it returns the below response as expected. Now I want to setup the unsubscribe trigger in my Zapier intergration account but it is giving me the below message. Please advice. I got the following response on executing the webhook.{    "id": "e8940575-13ac-4d4f-9cb9-2e0ab6f6b256",    "request_id": "60005fd2-fa1b-455b-bc88-15bc7f7a00f0",    "attempt": "60005fd2-fa1b-455b-bc88-15bc7f7a00f0",    "status": "success"}I then used the “id” property from the above response as a parameter for the unsubscribe request like below. I then saved the API configuration and proceeded to the next step which is Test the API Request. On click of Test Trigger I got the below message. What does this indicate? Do I need to setup anything else in my Zapier Integration Account?  Can someone please adivce on how to fix this ? Thanks

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

Authentication: Combination of Session Auth and Basic Auth

Here’s an interesting Authentication approach.  This App requires a combination of Basic Auth and Session Auth.  Per the documentation https://api2docs.rfms.online/#auth-info-e78eadda-8135-40e5-8fa3-e24bfc70c0f8, the following must occur:Call the "Begin session" method (below) using HTTP Basic Auth to generate a session token. REQUEST URL: https://api.rfms.online/v2/session/begin Method: POST Basic Auth:  username:password (in base64) RESPONSE {     "storeId": "xxxxxx167b8",     "authorized": true,     "sessionToken": "rfmsapi-xxxxxxxf9a5d0590",     "sessionExpires": "Fri, 05 Feb 2021 12:25:27 GMT" } The session token can be used for a limited time. It will expire automatically but is extended each time a method is called.    The session token is sent with all API requests as the password using HTTP Basic Auth. User name should be set using the same user name you used in the first step. REQUEST URL: https://api.rfms.online/v2/customers Method: GET Basic Auth:  sessionToken:password (in
