About the Developer Discussion forum

Welcome!The Developer area of the Zapier community is a place for dev-to-dev discussion about connecting your API to the Zapier Platform, and integrating Zapier into your product with our Partner API and embed SDK.  Bring your questions as you get started with our developer tools, building and testing your integration.  Share your expertise as a Zapier developer by answering questions and sharing your tips.  While Zapier engineers will certainly be hanging out here and participating in conversations, this forum is driven by community participation.  When you ask questions here be sure to share enough context so that another developer without access to the private details of your account can provide an answer that’s generally applicable to other developers with the same question.  So when should you ask a question here, and when should you contact Zapier support?Great questions for this community: “How can I do ____ with the Zapier developer tools?”  For example, “use my GraphQL API to

Can I use the Workflow API/Element to add automation and surface integrations directly within my product on the Pro plan?

I want to use the Workflow API/Element to add automation and surface integrations within my product, are they available for Pro plan user? I’m not sure because they seems like they only can be used as a Zapier Partner. What’s different between Plan user and Partner? Thank you.

How can I create a test account

To set up a test account for Zapier on my app, the process involves an OTP being sent to integration-testing@zapier.com. Here are two ways we could proceed:I can create the account for you, but you would need to share the OTP with me. Alternatively, you can set the password, and I can handle the next steps from there.Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Zapier Build from monorepo

Hi,I am getting the same error as mentioned in this post. I have tried the suggested solution in the above post however, I get below error> zapier build --skip-npm-install --debug › Warning: Could not find typescript. Please ensure that typescript is a devDependency. Falling back to compiled source.✔ Running _zapier-build script✖ Copying project to temp directory › Error: EMFILE: too many open files, scandir ' '/Users/user/development/node_modules/@serverless/utils/node_modules/cli-width'How would I go into solving this issue without publishing our package to NPM? Publishing the package to NPM is not a solution, as it does not fit within our working structure.

Can we get a normal search bar on the home page?

Zapier added that AI automation builder (screenshot). I admit, it’s a good idea and I like it. But can’t we get a normal search bar on the home page? Most of the time I access my account, it’s to check or update a zap anyway. And I keep clicking in the automation thing by accident.  Even better would be AI powered search, but I don’t want to overshoot lol

Zapier trying to authenticate multiple times

Hello Zapier Community,I am establishing a Session Auth connection through my Zapier Action.However, even if the connection is successful, Zapier keeps sending requests to my authentication and test endpoints multiple times.I saw that a user here in the community had a similar problem https://community.zapier.com/general-discussion-13/session-auth-issue-requesting-session-token-twice-after-it-works-first-time-3342?tid=3342&fid=13, however my problem is a little different, because it seems like there is a trigger sending the authentication request multiple times.To be more objective, what happens is:My Action sends the fields to authenticate to my authentication endpoint and my endpoint returns the session token successfully;The Action triggers the test command with the session token and returns success.At this point it should stop trying to authenticate, however it starts re-authenticating again and it does so successfully and repeats this step at least 4 times.I would be grateful

Automating Translation Requests and Workflows

I have seen posts on different social media accounts that people are automating their business by using workflows by Zapier. This has made me curious over the last few weeks whether it can relate to my customers as well. The issue is customers are diversified, not only by region but also by their languages.So looking for a workflow that can help me and my partners serve corporate translation services to clients across the Globe. How can we handle them according to their locations and their languages?This will help us in saving our time and making it more manageable to deal with the millions of customers across the world.

New Zap missing after zapier push

Hi there,I am a newbe to Zapier.I successfully created the sample cli app as described here: https://docs.zapier.com/platform/build-cli/overview After learning a bit, I tried creating a new app and publish.The new app does not show. I tried deleting the old app, creating another one, deleting etc. but I it is simply not there (at one point I did have an app, but it said it was private when I tapped on the Zap, so it wasn’t functioning).The apps are all private (I think the first one was as well).For the second and on tries, it failed to push and requested a registration (so I did run “zapier register”.What is going on?I ran into an article regarding logging in with user name and password and then via sso (Google), but I have been using sso login all the way.Thanks!

User Reviews

Hi Zapier Community, I recently had the chance to chat with Bryce Vernon from Zapier, and I wanted to share some feedback that could help further enhance our experience as Zapier users. Here are some suggestions for new features and resources I think would add a lot of value:Process-Specific Deep Dive Tutorials: While there are great resources available, adding specialized tutorials for industry-specific processes (like complex B2B sales funnels, tailored lead-scoring techniques, or niche recruitment automations) could help users maximize the value of Zapier in their specific fields. Diving into unique processes like these could encourage broader and more creative applications of Zapier.Guided Customization on Shareable Zaps: It would be amazing if shareable Zap templates came with a built-in guided customization feature. This feature could walk users through adjusting template settings step-by-step, offering industry-specific tips or prompts along the way. For instance, a CRM template

Why Is My JavaScript FormData Object Empty?

I’m trying to send a file to an API via JavaScript within the Platform UI (not CLI).  I’m trying to avoid the Platform CLI for some specific reasons, but understand that may be the only solution.The problem I can’t figure out is how after I append 2 key/value pairs to the myFormData object, it ends up empty when sent via z.request().  I want the myFormData object to have my 2 keys and their values, plus set the content-type header to multipart/form-data with the appropriate boundary.Note, the JavaScript File object returns a not found error.  Any help or ideas would be really appreciated. bundle.inputData.documentation_file is a stashed file (previously hydrated)bundle.inputData.documentation_file_name is just a string of the file nameconst pdfFileParts = await(z.request({url: bundle.inputData.documentation_file, raw: true}));const pdfBlob = new Blob(await(pdfFileParts.buffer()), {type: "application/pdf"});const myFormData = new FormData();myFormData.append("file", pdfBlob, bundle.inp
