Can I create an a Zapier app without authentification?

Hello, I am creating a new app on Zapier for our company Shipup. The goal of the app is to simplify the connection of our webhooks to other apps on Zapier. Here is an example of the logic we would like to follow: We receive a new “event” from one of our partner We send a webhook to the URL specified by the client (a zap url in this case) The Zap is configured to run specific actions according to the payload of the webhook The issue is that Zapier seems to force a user authentification when creating a new app but we don’t have any since we are only using webhooks. So I’m blocked on the first phase of the app creation and can’t find the option to set the authentification to “no-auth“. Would anyone from the community be able to provide some guidance on how to navigate around this issue? Thank you! Baptiste

Disable auto decoding for Http RQL query params

Hi, I want to disable auto encoding for my request with RQL params. Right now instead of ‘select(aps.id),eq(id,1)’ i am getting select(aps.id)%2Ceq(id%2C1)= where ‘,’ is getting encoded and that is making the request invalid as there is RQL parsing error. How can i sent raw request without encoding? please reply me asap.

Trouble getting Google API refresh token for custom integration.

I am creating a custom integration using the Google Calendar API. I can get the oauth2 authentication to work initially, but it stops working after about an hour. I am trying to get a refresh token, but my guess is that something in that process is not working.    I have setup these URL parameters: response_type = code approval_prompt = force (I’ve tried ‘consent’ but same results) access_type = offline   How can I get my authorization to stick?

Using Zapier as for a production Web App - Thoughts?

Hello community!   I’m not coming with any real questions, I’m more interested to know how you may feel about using Zapier as a key aspect for the back-end of your SaaS product or web app. Zapier in a production back-end I’ve personally been having trouble reconciling my thoughts on this, I want to be in full control of my back-end in all aspects, even if using Zapier could save me time and energy. I don’t know if it’s a pride thing, a control thing or maybe a matter of wanting to hone my craft and feeling like using Zapier for that purpose would almost be ‘cheating’. I love Zapier and I’ll gladly use it to automate tasks whenever possible, except in this specific context. I’m interested to know if anybody else here struggles with that mindset, or on another note, are there some things that you would never do without Zapier again now that you’ve used it?   The Firebase Effect Not all that long ago, I had noticed that tons of services were outsourcing OAuth to Firebase. Now it’s become

Validation error doesn't have enough details

I’m getting this validation error Field "Foo" has inconsistent type, "string" in sample of Zap 84344953 while "integer" in output field definition But this Zap is not mine, and I have no idea why it would have a string.  If I could get some more fields for the same item/sample, that would be useful.  Is that possible?   Also, when I press “re-run validation” it doesn’t seem to hit the server.  If it’s validating a stale response, then I’ve no idea how I can clear the error.

API Authorization endpoint

Hello, The API library I am working with does not have a specific API endpoint for user credential verification. All of the available APIs are basically queries to the database I am connecting to.  The API requires an API key, as well as a user name and password (all of which I have). Is there a way to have Zapier authenticate the account without a user verification API endpoint?  I asked the API developers and they said to try using any of the API calls and see if it returned a 200 server response. I tried this, but since all of the API calls involve a query Zapier returns an error.  The API documentation is here if it helps: https://connect.aegispremier.com/help Also, if a user authentication API is required is there an easy way to have this implemented? Ideally a “drop in and go” (or as close as possible) solution? I realize that this would probably depend on the programing language(s) used for the API, but I don’t have that info at this time. I ‘d like to try and make it as easy as

Need help setting up a Zap with my companies Back-Office tool...

I want to set up a zap for my companies back-office tool - we have clients that submit domain names to us for Appraisals & for brokerage - Currently every time I want to check to see if a new name has been submitted i need to manually log into the back office (which is on a VPN) and refresh the page to see if any new domain names have been submitted to us for appraisal or brokerage. We do have an API so there must be an automated way for me to get a zap or notification via text or email every time a new domain name has been submitted instead of manually checking. Can you please help? Please any and all help would be greatly appreciated Sincerely, Jason Edited by a moderator to remove personal information.

Dropdown field in "Connect an Account" form

Hello :)   Im currently setting up a new integration and Im using Session Auth aside from username, password  and api_key, I also need the user to provide the country_code when creating a new connection, because we have different API for each country e.g au-api.domain.com for Australia us-api.domain.com for United States nz-api.domain.com for New Zealand uk-api.domain.com for United Kingdom The api url is being built dynamically based on the value of bundle.authData.country_code like   const options = { url: bundle.authData.country_code + '-api.domain.com/auth',   The Problem   when the user sets up a new connection, the country_code field shows up as a plain text field   our manager wants that field to be a dropdown which contains each of those countries (vs having to type manually the codes) I’ve been digging the documentation for quite sometime now, https://zapier.com/developer/documentation/v2/app-dev-guide/#authentication-configuration but cant find a way on how to make it a drop

Not getting any of the Trigger test data through in PHP

Hi guys,I'm new to Zapier and am trying to set up a trigger that inserts data using our api. When testing it however, I don't seem to get any of the entered test data though.I have entered the test data into Zapier as you can see below:In our code I have tried the following to get e.g. the api_partner_id: $postData = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true); $api_partner_id = $postData['api_partner_id']=> empty result $postData = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true); $api_partner_id = $postData['inputData']['api_partner_id'] //(i saw in the raw version of the test data dat all data is put into 'inputData'=> empty result $api_partner_id = $_POST['api_partner_id']=> empty resultWhen I run the test, the funny thing is that the Request data only contains {"hookUrl":"https://hooks.zapier.com/fake-subscription-url"} according to what I can see

Handling Line Items as Objects

Hi all, building an app on the Zapier Platform to integrate with Freshbooks since the native Freshbooks app doesn’t have the functionality I need.    I need the line item section to be formatted like so:      "lines": [      {        "name": "Test Item",        "qty": "1",        "unit_cost": {          "amount": "27.00"        }      }     ] As seen here However, when I test things in the Developer Platform under Test your API Request I get the following:    "lines": [      "{ 'name': 'Test Item'",      "'qty': '1'",      "'unit_cost': { 'amount': '27.00'  } }"    ]   This is my current API Request configuration for those line items:       'lines': [bundle.inputData.lines]   what function or formula do I need to put around the bundle.inputData.lines to prevent Zapier from separating it and adding quotes/commas?   When I submit this in the testing section I get the following error: Required field "Name" (name) is missing. Required field "Quantity" (qty) is missing. Required field "Cost

sending trough JSON array to web hook

I have a webhook to trigger a custom app.  This accesses an API and returns an JSON array  now I want to use this (complete) JSON array to be send over to Filemaker making use of a post web hook  the ‘problem’ is that even when I use the ‘raw’ data of the app , the JSON array gets ‘worked over’ by zapier, giving me only the values without the formatting . This produces 2 problems, i can’t use the individual item / results because of some NULL values of 1 field and because of a lot of ‘CR’ in another field  Also the ‘raw’ data of results gives me no formatting like “  So I either need to change the output of the custom app (which I do not know how) or change the way zapier ‘works over’ the data so that I get the pure JSON array.  I have thought about using a RAW web hook POST but I get stuck there.

How to output a file from a Trigger

Hello, is it possible to output a file (csv, xlsx, json, XML) from Zapier trigger? I'm making an integration from a service, that calls Zapier through webhooks informing there's a file to fetch. In the perform function, I make an API call to get the document and I would like to output the result of that call.  From what I can see, it looks like Trigger output should be a JSON. Is it possible to output for example a CSV file? If so, how?  Right now, I try to stash the file and return just the URL in following way: (feeling it's not quite it) const file = z.dehydrateFile(() => { const req = z.request(options) const stash = z.stashFile(req) return stash})return [file] In the Test section I got following message:We could not find your function/array/object anywhere on your App definition.
