Shopee Integration return "Field named `access_token` not found in OAuth2 results "

hello everyone, I was working on Shopee integration for work. I’m new to zapier but still trying to make this Shopee integration working. It been a few days I stuck at access token request because it always return Field named `access_token` not found in OAuth2 results error when I try to connect to my app integration.https://markuphero.com/share/tf0QMUufX3mBlj7Ye4tcFirst, I’m not sure what URL should I use for my Authorization URL. I did try to use https://shopee.com.my/ but when I try to connect to my app integration, it send me to shopee main page. Even after I login to my account it keep going like I’m using normal Shopee instead connect to my app Integration. I just decide to use the same URL at “copy your OAuth Redirect URL” because it lead to normal zapier connect app page.Once again, I’m not used to zapier OAuth2 that why I make this type of decision.Back to “Access Token Request”, I’m having a hard time trying to make my code work to get access token.Here link to shopee documen

Long Running API Calls - Best Practices

Hi All,I’m currently developing a Zapier integration and would appreciate some input on best practices for long running API calls.We currently return a 201 accepted response if the API call exceeds x seconds, with a ‘location’ header specifying the URL to get the status of the call and a ‘retry-after’ header specifying how frequently to retry.I’ve drawn a bit of a blank when searching for how to configure our Zapier action to support this. I assume I would need some custom JavaScript code that checks for a 201 response and performs some retry logic. If my assumption is correct, could anyone point me in the direction of some sample code to help with this?The documentation I have found for long running API calls seems to recommend creating a webhook and posting the results on completion, would we be better of implementing this? Thanks!

Can we provide more error details to the user?

Aloha all! First time we’ve run into the question: the user-facing error message is getting truncated when sending back a long string (In cases where there’s a lot of data for the user to take action on).Is there a way to return an object to the Zapier editor so that the user can drill down further instead of getting a truncated message?Or are we just limited to a character limit for the string and that’s that?If so, what’s the character limit? Thanks for the help! Best,~Sean and team

Testing a custom trigger that returns a hydrated response

Hi,I have developed a custom trigger that fires when leave is approved in our payroll system. The custom integration is built using the Zapier CLI and uses REST Hooks to receive leave requests “instantly”.Everything is working well in the simple case and the trigger will output data from the webhook request to pass on to our timesheet system.Unfortunately the webhook request doesn’t contain enough information to identify the employee in the timesheet system, so it is necessary to make an additional request to lookup the employee details. I have used a hydrator to lazily load the employee data when the downstream task requires the extra info. This all works as expected.The problem is the response from `performList` that is used to test the trigger. Currently `performList` fetches a list of leave requests from the payroll system. However the test data does not contain the dehydrated employee details. If I use the dehydrator in the `performList` function, the test data contains an encoded

Generate fields for each selected value from a dynamic dropdown.

Hey. I’m new to Zapier and I’m building an integration for our application.We have an event that fetches users based on some filters.In the gui form we have a dropdown from which you can choose multiple fields to be used as a filter. And then we have dynamically generated fields that you can then fill with values (the actual filter values).The problem is that there are way too many fields for this to be user friendly.  Is there a way to generate input field  under a filter when a user selects a value from the Filter dropdown? To be inserted as on the picture.So for each selected filter from a Filter dropdown generate input field.
