URLs in integrations

In our application each company that we support has its own domain name. This seems to mean that I would potentially have to create separate integrations for each customer. Is there a way this can be avoided? Do any other of your partners have a similar issue? How have they solved it?

Session Auth issue, requesting Session Token twice after it works first time

Hi, I am trying to setup Session Auth and am having some issues. Everything seems to be working locally when it runs but when i deploy it and test authentication in a Zap i am getting a strange error.   Here is what i would expect to happen for session auth. Post request to get auth token from auth endpooint token is used in “Test” request to verify that it works What i am seeing in logs is: Post request to get auth token from auth endpooint - Returns token token is used in “Test” request to verify that it works - Json is returned, I would think this means success and it ends here. Another post request to get auth token is performed and this time the auth token from first request  is added as a header so this fails. I cannot figure out why this is happening. I have attached my log below that shows the three requests

Limit/Filter return results

Hi there,  I have a Find Action in one of my Zaps, but I want to limit the output to just one entry in the returned array.  Basically, the Find Action looks up a record based on a user inputted ID, and then returns all of the fields for that record (lets say; name, address, age). But, I only want to make one of these fields (‘name’) available to users for the next step of their workflow.  I’m using the default return response at the moment, but I’m not sure how to amend this to just return one object from the array rather than all of them:    return z.request(options)   .then((response) => {     response.throwForStatus();     const results = response.json;     // You can do any parsing you need for results here before returning them     return results.value;   Any help would be appreciated!

Custom Integration

I’m brand new to Zapier and looking into developer integrations for possible use in my company’s custom CMS software. My question is… is it even possible to develop an integration without a centrally hosted service? For example, all of our websites live on their own domain and have their own urls to login (basic email/password, sometimes 2FA), so there’s no mycompany.com/authenticate url or anything equivalent. It would all be website1.com/cms/login, website2.com/cms/login, etc. The zap actions that I would be exposing would be the same across the board, but I’m not sure this type of setup would even work with Zapier without adding a layer on top just for authentication/communications.  Maybe I’m thinking about this the wrong way. How does something like Wordpress do the same thing with websites (and their data) living on unique domains? Anybody have insight?

Code Mode Issues

I am new to Zapier and attempting a proof of concept. We are able to read data from our APIs, however, it seems we need to post process data coming back from the API call due it not being in an array.  We found help / community articles for this.   However, it seems that “code mode” is not looking at variables correctly or not saving the code on triggers/is getting confused with modifications. Are there known issues with code mode? Thank you

Create a Zap for a software not available as a choice under apps.

Hello! I want to make a zap between Bambora.com (similar to Stripe) and Zoom.us. The idea is when a payment is processed in Bambora, the person will get connected to a Zoom chatroom.    Does anyone have experience in creating Zaps for apps that are not available as a choice in the list? PS: Bambora.com has an open API. Thank you!

Pass value to resource

Hi, Lets assume that I have a trigger, trigger have a input field: { key: 'table_id', label: 'Table', required: true, dynamic: 'tableList.id.name'} And basically, there is no other field for this trigger, I’m trying to figure out how to pass to the Table resource a value from this trigger, fe: { key: ‘value’ } I’ve tried it like this: (z: ZObject, bundle: Bundle) => bundle.inputData.key = 'value',{ key: 'table_id', label: 'Table', required: true, dynamic: 'tableList.id.name'} but without luck, operation.perform from table resource had empty bundle.inputData. Also tried computed input field does not hide from user, so this is also not an option to pass value like this.   I need help, thanks in advance for any tips.

"Needs a successful task" warning prevents publishing App even though I created Zap and tested

Hi Zapier team,   I saw that a few other developers ran into the same problem. I created an App and wanted to publish it now. I tested and it + created at least 5 Zaps, nevertheless it shows me the following warnings in the side menu and prevents me from publishing. Could you please resolve this also for my account or help me here?     I know this whole error validation is important for you to keep the quality of submissions high, but honestly from a developer experience this was pretty annoying since the validation was very buggy and didn’t properly work even when I fixed some of the bugs. You should probably look into this again with a product manager how to improve the experience here. Though I did like the Go to trigger feature.   Best, Mathias

Pagination - How can I store and provide a non-numeric page identifier?

(Also posted at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62351427/pagination-how-can-i-store-and-provide-a-non-numeric-page-identifier) I am trying to add pagination to my Zapier trigger. The API I am using for the trigger supports pagination, but not using a page number in the traditional sense (ie. page 1,2,3,...). Instead, the API response includes a key (ie. "q1w2e3r4") which should be passed as a parameter to the next request to get the next page of results. From looking at the docs, I can use {{bundle.meta.page}} (which defaults to 0 unless otherwise set). I am trying to set {{bundle.meta.page}} in the code editor, with an example shown below: const options = { url: 'company_xyz.com/api/widgets', method: 'GET', ..., params: { ..., 'pagination_key': bundle.meta.page, }}return z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const json_response = response.json; widgets = json_response.widgets ... bundle.meta.page = json_response["nex

RESThookes - using subscribe data in unsubscribe request

Hey there, I have what may be a simple question, but it’s been challenging to self-service an answer.   Scenario: I’m creating our first Zapier integration. For now, I’m focusing on triggers, which correlate to several webhook types that our platform offers. Each webhook type gets its own specific trigger. I’m also using the visual/web builder as I’m not actually a developer myself.   Our Subscribe request: { "data":{ "attributes":{ "subscriptions":[ "course_completed_events" //corresponds to selected trigger ], "url": bundle.targetUrl } }}   Our system returns the following: { "data": { "type": "webhook_endpoints", "id": "3c0cd54b-e116-4dff-ad40-18958e59841b", "attributes": { "url": "URL here", "subscriptions": [ "course_completed_events" //corresponds to selected trigger ] } }}   The Unsubscribe request should look like this: DELETE {baseURL}/

Can I use this value in the future for the Perform list? http://joxi.ru/VrwE0NGi8yg9G2 As I understand it, I have to send data to this hook when I create something to the trigger. Then why do we need the Perform List option? I can not understand the differences between hook and perform list option.

How do I get the test data to work?

Problem I can’t seem to get the test data to work when testing a trigger we’ve created and I’m confused as to how I can dynamically set the sample data.    Background We’ve built a trigger that has a lot of static fields in the sample file. We have the ability to narrow those fields significantly if we could dynamically pull by a parameter. How do I dynamically pull for the sample file? How can I also get the test data trigger to work. Right now it just shows static sample data. We update our database when a zap fires so a request wont work more than once. Im just confused as to how the sample file and the test data should work.

To-dos that must be addressed before your integration can be included in the App Directory: I’m getting a warning to change the Titlecase but when I do, the warning doesn’t go away. I even had just one word in the field - capitalized - and still got the error.

Invalid API Response: - Got a result missing the "id" property

I’ve looked at the four responses on this issue but haven’t been able to get them to work. I’ve reviewed this GitHub entry and have a sense for what it wants me to do, but not how I should implement it. My polling trigger API is trying to substitite my “_id” for the expected “id” element. Much like the other four posts on this problem have suggested. const options = { url: 'https://app.hiro.fm/api/products', method: 'GET', headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${bundle.authData.token}` }, params: { }}return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const result = z.JSON.parse(response.content); result.id = result._id; return result; });/* Also tried this syntax but get the same error *//*return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const result = z.JSON.parse(response.content); return [{ ...result, id: result._id, },];});*/ My response array looks like this. See the _id I’m aiming

How to use OAUTH2 to authenticate to Push data to my App?

I want to build an Integration with Hiro.FM that allows Zapier users to ingest data into their Hiro account. I’ve spent a couple of days reading the Zap developer docs and feel a little overwhelmed. In order for a Zap to authenticate with HIRO, I presume HIRO needs to run an OAuth Provider.  I’ve been able to set this up and can exchange request tokens for access tokens. I’ve not been able  get this authentication working with the Zapier Dashbaord. My first question - How do I use the Zapier redirect URI in my code? My Express route looks like this, Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
