OAuth2 - Token Revocation

I've made an app in Zapier, but I'm having trouble revoking the authentication tokens. I want to set up a process where when a customer deletes the integration between my software and Zapier, a request is sent to Zapier asking them to remove the connection to my app from their platform. Furthermore, if a customer removes a connection of my app from Zapier, I want to receive either an event notification or a DELETE request on my OAuth2 endpoints so that I can revoke the associated tokens.Although I have previously communicated with Zapier regarding this matter, it appears that they do not support this basic OAuth2 flow. Therefore, I would like to ask if anyone could give me some advice on how to achieve the same result using alternative methods.https://oauth.net/2/token-revocation/https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7009.html

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?

Bad UX on Zooming Zapier editor

I think there is bad UX on the new UI specifically on the zoom elementNormally the zoom should be [ - ] [ 100%] [ + ] but in Zapier is [ + ] [ 100% ] [ - ] I think this is bad UX. Maybe someone and Zapier can fix it?

Zapier doesn't honor 410 anymore?

Hi all, Since we our app is launched, we manage to remove/disable webhooks created by Zapier when we receive status code 410 error from Zapier but since couple of weeks, it seems that Zapier doesn’t reply with 410 for old /disabled zap but with a usual 200. From documentation: “If your application receives a 410 response, that webhook subscription is no longer active, and you should stop sending data to it.” Doesn’t anyone has this behavior? is it new?

Webhooks that send varying data

Hey!I am creating a Zapier Integration that attaches to forms in our application. Each customer of ours has many forms, each with varying fields. How do we dynamically handle fiends. I’d love to just send JSON over with the fields in key/value pairs, but since this varies from request to request and the possibilities are infinite, how do zapier users access that data in their zaps? Ie.) if the output doesn’t define the field “first_name” is there a way to access that in actions for when it exists? Thanks in advance!

Does Zapier provides APIs to post tweets on twitter?

Hi, Is there any API zapier provides to post tweets directly on twitter? Earlier I was using Twitter APIs but now rate limits are set and a user can post only 100 tweets in 24 hours which is not practical. Thanks

Repeated session-auth requests?

I can’t seem to figure out why Zapier keeps re-authenticating even though there aren’t any 401 errors. You can see that the test request comes back consistently with a 200 response, but is followed by new authentication requests. I’m hitting rate limits on the /api-token-auth/ endpoint because of this. Any ideas on what might be going on? And here’s the code: const test = async (z, bundle) => { const options = { url: `https://api.opensolar.com/api/orgs/${bundle.authData.orgId}`, method: 'GET', headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${bundle.authData.sessionKey}`, }, }; 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; });};const perform = async (z, bundle) => { const options = { url: 'https://api.opensolar.com/api-token-auth/', method: 'POST', headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json',

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!

Inconsistent wrapping between performlist test sample and an actual sample from perform rest hook trigger

Hello I am making a rest hook trigger using performList to give a test sample for the user to be able to map. I follow the same pattern as this example: https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/blob/main/examples/restHooks.js except my output field are dynamics so I must rely on a sample queried from my API.when performList, Zapier wraps the sample queried from my API like so:But does not wrap it evenly in perform Here is an history of Zap run between my trigger and a google sheet action that consists of creating a new row:The mapping for COL$A, COL$B and COL$C here are based on the sample obtained from my performList hook.But actually the data pushed by my rest hook trigger is:Which I would expect to be mapped like the test sample, as a zapier post-process. (hidden from my cli-integration POV)There is no longer the automatic zapier wrapping with fullfillmentValue property. My push is taken as is.Therefore I get empty/blank value in my action app. Thank you

Zap Triggers on Slack Group Mentions

A primary use case for Zapier, IMO, is to respond to group mentions from any public channel. This is supported for individuals, but not for groups. I’m curious how many other people in the community want this feature, and whether we can get it prioritized. What are the blockers?What is the timeline for it becoming supported?How many other customers would like this feature?There is a flaky work-around by using a New Mention Trigger and using the group id as a Custom Name. But getting support on missed triggers is difficult with unsupported use.

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.

Where to change domain name for existing app?

Hi - I’ve taken over the development of an existing custom Zapier app we’ve built with the Zapier CLI. All I want to do now is connect our existing app to a new environment hosted on a new domain name (ideally keeping the existing app as is). So ending up with:Appv1 connecting to old-domain.example.com Appv2 connecting to new-domain.example.net The functionality of the app can remain the same for now. I just don’t see where the the current domain name (“old-domain.example.com”) is set? I don’t see it in the Zapier settings for the app and I don’t see it in the code for the app either? Any pointers or guidance appreciated. Thanks!

Is meta.zap.user.timezone safe to use in an integration?

I’m developing a new integration (using the Zapier cli) for the company I work for. Our API returns Date-Times in UTC . We think our users would find that confusing so we were thinking it might be good to convert those times into the users local time zone. When developing, we see that the bundle passed to the trigger contains the zap’s timezone at meta.zap.user.timezone. So, in our integration we could just decide to reuse that timezone there and make the adjustments. That said, I don’t see any specific documentation for meta.zap.user.timezone anywhere and the meta.zap.help field includes the words: "This data structure is provided for backwards compatibility,", "and should not be relied upon in a Zapier integration." So this begs the question: is meta.zap.user.timezone stable for us to use? Or will it be problematic?
