API Documentation

This may sound like a stupid question, but is there a possibility to share my API documentation as a pdf link of google drive 😅? it’s not yet available on our public site and that can take some time for design?

Use same trigger response for two dynamic input filelds

Hi,I want to know is there any possibility to use the same trigger response for two dynamic input fields? Basically, I want to achieve in one API call get the whole result, and use it in different places.Example :- Trigger API response  - [ { "Wid": 130, "name": "prompt()", "templates": [ { "Tid": 555, "name": "A_WITH_PROD" }, { "Tid": 554, "name": "ADOCKA_TEM" }, { "Tid": 5551, "name": "B_NO_PROD" } ] }, { "Wid": 1307, "name": "a2345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890", "templates": [ { "Tid": 521, "name": "V2 Template" } ] }, { "Wid": 106, "name": "another collection", "templates": [ { "Tid": 522, "name": "Ada template" },

Renew access token for trust pilot connection

Hi all,I’m calling a trustpilot endpoint (https://invitations-api.trustpilot.com/v1/private/business-units/60520db4bc25b30001dadc3a/email-invitations) with an access token in the header.This all works fine, but the accesstoken is only valid for 4 days. I can request a new access token before every call, but requesting an access token too often results in an error:https://developers.trustpilot.com/authentication#auth-codeIt’s also possible to refresh the access token using the refresh token, but the refresh is also only valid for one time.Does anyone have any pointers on how to go around these issues?

How do I fix "must have a static sample (D012)"

Your documentation says that a static sample is very important, but they don’t say how to specify one.I have a CLI project, but the documentation appears to be only for a UI created application.I have three required fields, and a heap of optional fields. I see data for the required fields when doing “Set up action” in the Action part of the Zap. The tests pass. A record is created when I trigger the Zap. Everything seems to be working except validation fails.How do I specify a “static sample”?

What is the correct return value for perform Unsubscribe?

All of the examples for unsubscribing a REST HOOK, including the code generated from the form based app, show the function returning a value, for instance:https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/blob/master/example-apps/rest-hooks/triggers/recipe.js Unfortunately all of the examples merely show passing through the return from the web request without any particular detail and as far as I can find it is nowhere documented what the upstream code *expects* to be returned here or what the implications of various options are. Does the the return value of this function actually do anything?

Any integration with Azure Auto Pilot

Hi everyone,I’m looking for an integration with Azure’s Auto Pilot device depository of hardware hash. Basically I was looking for an API which I can use to “deposit” hardware hashes into my Azure tenant device inventory but sadly one does not seem to exist natively from Microsoft.So then I am reaching out to the community to seek some help. I have a completely automated vehicle to go out and harvest my Auto Pilot device hashes (equivalent to the manual get-windowsautopilotinfo.ps1) but what I am missing is the method to “deposit” those hashes automatically into my tenant.The obvious answer (use -online option for the PS1) isn’t really an answer so I am looking for someone who may have used Zapier to automate this process. The hardware hash is a given -- my question is how to you upload it automatically to Azure’s tenant account?Thank youBoyan

Provide a sample data with file.

Hey,I am developing a new Integration using the Zapier Platform. I am getting the following warnings in the Publishing Tasks:Static Sample Is RequiredWhen a user sets up a trigger, they need sample data to be returned in order to have fields available to map in the subsequent steps. If testing the trigger returns no live results, we use static sample data as a fallback.It's very important that the structure of an object from the actual trigger and in the sample data are identical. Otherwise, users could map fields that don't exist in the live results, which results in a broken Zap.See Sample Data for more details on this.Error code D012But my Action just returns a hydrated file. How do I include a file in my sample data?

CLI: Transforming type date, numeric from inputData to correct formats

Hey,I’ve created some dynamic fields: [ { "key":"date", "label":"Date", "type":"datetime" }, { "key":"number", "label":"Number", "type":"number" }]now datetime will be returned in ISO8601 but our API only allows dates in RFC 3339 format.That’s why I want to transform the ISO8601 to RCF 3339 but in my “perform”-method I only receive in “bundle” the “inputData” but not the type of the fields.Is there a way in which I can know in my “perform”-method of which fieldType the inputData is?Something like:{ "inputData":{ "date":{ "type":"datetime", "value":"2022-04-27T11:11:27+02:00" }, "number":{ "type":"number", "value":6 } }}

We couldn't find a static lead after app upgrade

Hello. I am working on a zapier cli app for sending leads to Zapier. I have set up a sample lead which works fine when I am creating a zap for the first time. The problem is that when I push a new version of my app and try to update the existing app to the new app version I can’t test the trigger anymore. This is the error I get: We couldn't find a leadCreate a new lead in your   EMAIL account and test your trigger again. Does anyone know why the sample data can’t be retrieved after upgrading the app version? Note the nothing new is in the new version, I just bumped the version number. Note: We set performList to a function that just returns a static lead.

OAuth2 flow with client secret and PKCE

Hi!I know this question has been asked before but in those cases the comments are now closed and I would like to add some additional input. I have been asked to create a zapier app to integrate with out API and have hit a road block at the aurthentication stage.  Our token server enforces PKCE along with client id/secret. I’ve seen replies on here suggesting that PKCE is used as a replacement for client secrets but that’s not the case here (and seems a fairly common scenario). From https://oauth.net/2/pkce/PKCE was originally designed to protect the authorization code flow in mobile apps, but its ability to prevent authorization code injection makes it useful for every type of OAuth client, even web apps that use a client secret. I’d rather not go down the route of disabling these checks in our IDP if possible so any suggestions on a way forwards would be helpful. Many thanks!

Adding a new field in trigger output

Our Zapier Integration is in public beta. While making Zap Templates we’ve realized that we’ll need some more data to power some of the use cases. Do we need to follow the “promote > migrate > deprecate” flow for adding new fields in the API response that powers one of our Triggers? We don’t have any live users besides zaps created for testing.

Trigger with 2 webhooks

Can a trigger have 2 subscribed webhooks? Let’s say I have 2 webhooks which kind of represent the same event in Zapier but which are fired under different circumstances in my own app.so instead of creating now a 3rd hook which would be used by my Zapier integration and which would be fired under both circumstances in my app, I thought it would be probably cleaner to handle this on the Zapier side.I’m using following way to subscribe to a hook https://platform.zapier.com/cli_tutorials/resthooks , so in theory I should be able to run the request which subscribes the Zapier webhooks , but I’m not really sure if this is the best approach. Is anybody here doing something similar?

Powering a Dynamic Drop Down with a Polling Trigger

Hey everyone! I’m working on a project and have hit a dead end that’s a little outside of my knowledge that I hope someone might be able to clarify and point me in the right direction on.For context, I’m building a custom connector for a service that has a stock connector that doesn’t include some endpoints/actions that I need to use. I have a lot of experience building really simple action-only connectors for services that use OAuth to grab an extra endpoint that’s missing from a stock connector, but I’ve never tried to build in polling triggers to power drop downs in my action steps to reduce amount of data that might need to be supplied to an action step manually.Here is the example that I’m working on now:I’m working with the Webflow CMS API: https://developers.webflow.com/#cms-api-referenceThe stock connector is good, but it lacks functionality to do some simple list returns as well as patch calls on object related fields. You can do these (and I do often) with the Webhooks app as

It means the auth token is getting expired.The changes I’ve made were not even related to authentication even. Any idea why this is happening?For reference:Earlier```module.exports = {perform: perform,….}```My changes:``` module.export = {perform : (z, bundle) => someFunction(z, bundle, perform)...}```

Standardize API response across 2 variations so that Zapier treats the response fields as the same during configuration

I have a call in a private app for Zapier to retrieve the Metadata of an asset. The call covers both images and videos, which are 2 different endpoints. The only different in the request being whether it says images or videos in the URL: https://api.gettyimages.com/swagger/index.html#/Images/get_v3_images__id_ https://api.gettyimages.com/swagger/index.html#/Videos/get_v3_videos__id_ The response returns mostly the same fields, but as they are wrapped by either images {} or videos {}, Zapier treats them as different fields, which makes it very cumbersome to configure metadata mapping in subsequent steps, as you basically need to test the entire 2 zaps twice, once with an image, once with a video, so that you can map the fields correctly. I’m looking at a way to modify the response structure so that both videos and images fields are considered as the same by Zapier in subsequent steps.   Sample image response:{ "images": [ "allowed_use", "artist", "artist_title", "asset_fam
