Zapier instant trigger having dynamic data

HelloI am trying to make my own app’s trigger using cli-integration.I cant use static output fields, my trigger have dynamic output fields, defined according to input field. I am based on this example https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/blob/main/examples/restHooks.js that might be outdated it seems, considering the doc:https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496244568589-Types-of-triggers-in-Zaps#polling-triggers-0-1 at section“Testing triggers to return test records” My trigger have one input, an idProject, which is used to know what kind of output the trigger will have ie what  is the json structure of my webhook push.my API will then push notification following the schema of the given idProject.So I make zapier call my API to fetch some sample data, like in the github example (performList) even though we are using a rest web hook.  When making the zap at the test trigger phase, it fails with “Unable to pull contacts Please reload the page.

Search by several parameters

Hi,I am trying to create an API request, with a search action meant to search for a contact. I want to be able to run the seach with multiple search terms in different fields, and if one of them matches the query returns that contact. For example searching by:NameORE-mail addressORBusiness registration numberThe way I have set it up now, it seems like all fields entered are required to match in order to return a result. So for example if it searches for the correct business reg. no., but the seach also includes an outdated e-mail address - the search fails. Is there a way to fix this through the API request? Or must the user set up path rules in the zap in order to achieve this? This is the API request as of now: params: { 'name': bundle.inputData.name, 'email': bundle.inputData.email, 'organizationNumber': bundle.inputData.organizationNumber, 'supplierNumber': bundle.inputData.supplierNumber, 'customerNumber': bundle.inputData.customerNumber, 'memberNumber': bundle.i

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?

How do I find events by time, not by name using NLA API?

Hello,I want to find events using the NLA API.I want, if I receive an email, and if it appropriate, to automatically book an event. However, I do not want to book an event when there is already an event then. How do I find events in my and other people of the same organisation’s calendar?If I query the NLA API like so: “Find me the weekly sprint planning event”, it finds it no problem. However, if I query “Find me all events until the end of the week”, or even “Find me the event tomorrow at 11AM”, it find nothing. EDIT: I found an ugly, ugly hack. I guess Zapier, behind the scenes, is creating a “search term”, based on your query, and if you put a search term “*”, it matches everything. So you can query for “Find the events this week with search term *”. This is very ugly and depends on something Zapier has not exposed publicly, so it may change at any point.

Check zap draft or final (live)?

Hello. I created integration for my app. It works very well. Zapier does create separate webhooks for the draft version of a Zap and the final (live) version. In bundle data zap_id is different for both of draft and live versions. When zapier sends me request to given url how can I detect that is it live or draft? Because I only need to store webhook of live version. In bundle data I can’t find something to solve this. Thanks in advance!

NLA rate limits

Hello,I want to use the NLA API. I am testing them, so I know how reliable they are. However, after about 10 or so queries, I am inevitably met with {error: rate limit exceeded...}.  Is this rate limit per action or for the whole of the NLA API? Where is that rate limit described? I couldn’t find it anywhere in the docs.  Is there a way to increase this rate limit? Do unsuccessful queries count toward the rate limit? I’m asking because I currently, if I hit the rate limit, I try a few more times. If this counts toward the rate limit, it’s a bit counterproductive to do this.

Resource not passing down outputFields

Hello! I’m currently building a Zapier integration. I have a resource - let’s call it “pet”. “pet” has list, search, and create actions defined. Now, since all of these have the same output format, I’d like to define `outputFields` and `sample` once in the main resource object and be done with it. The docs suggest that this is possible, and that my actions should automatically inherit `outputFields` and `sample` from the parent resource. However, when I try to test these functions with a Zap I created, the `label` for each of the output fields do not appear:This is supposed to say “Pet ID”, for example; the field is defined in the resource as follows:export const pet = { ..., list: ..., create: ..., search: ..., outputFields: [ { key: 'id', label: 'Pet ID', type: 'string', }, ],}How can I get my resource to automatically pass down its outputFields/sample to its actions (list, create, search in this case)?I found that if I manually go into each of the actions

Missing id property - have read numerous threads and still stuck

Hi there, I have read through numerous threads and I know that this problem is occurring because we return Id not id as an element in our api and that I need to change it to id through the code{"Id":1,"Portfolio":null,"Code":"Dep","Active":true,"ParentCompany":0,"CompanyName":"Deputy Zapier QA","TradingName":"","BusinessNumber":"","CompanyNumber":"123 123 123","IsWorkplace":true,"IsPayrollEntity":true,"PayrollExportCode":"","Address":157,"} I have tried to do this but no matter how many different ways of bashing my head against the metaphorical wall i cannot get it to work. Sample code belowconst getList = (z, bundle) => { const promise = z.request({ url: `https://${bundle.authData.endpoint}/api/v1/resource/Company/QUERY`, method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, body: '', }); return promise.then((response) => { const results = response.json; return results.map((item) =>{ results.id = results.Id; return item; }

Slack Integration via API Token

I’m curious if anyone out there has built a Slack integration that uses an API Token for access rather than OAuth?  For reasons that I do not understand, the built in Slack integration only supports OAuth, which means it ends up tied to a specific user.  It seems silly to rebuild identical functionality simply to have a different authentication method.If there are others whose security team would like this feature, perhaps you can chime in and help get Zapier to prioritize providing this?
