About the Code & Webhooks Forum

If you’re asking a question in this category, it should be about the Code by Zapier app and/or the Webhooks by Zapier app.   If you’re not sure whether you can/should use one of those apps, it’s OK to ask that here. Chances are great that whoever responds will be able to properly advise you.FAQsI have a question about developing an app on the Zapier platform...can I ask about that here?For questions like that, please ask in the Developer Discussion forum. And to be clear, we’re talking about the Developer Platform, where you can build your own integration.Do you consider RegEx to be code? It’s pretty complex!Possibly in the future, but for right now this is solely for questions related to Code by Zapier and/or Webhooks by Zapier.What about Storage by Zapier? That feels sort of Code-y to me.See the response above. Maybe at some point we’ll expand, but for now it’s limited to the 2 apps mentioned.If I’m not sure if I need Code or Webhooks and ask in General Questions, what will happen?If

Can bundle.inputData be used for data pass-through for entire output payload from previous Zap step?

  Hi Devs and Zapier Staff, I’m looking for an official answer on this topic. Is it possible to use a variable (e.g. bundle.inputData) to do data pass through for ALL of the output payload from the previous Zap step?If so, can you provide a working example? Goal is to pass thru the previous Zap step output payload as the input for a Zap app action without the user having to define the input fields for the action. Seeking functionality that works the same way as this native Zapier functionality:App: Webhooks by Zapier Action: Custom Field: Data Pass-Through? Description: If yes, request data below will be overridden with the raw data from the previous step (you are still responsible for headers though, like Content-Type). Defaults to no. Thanks! Data Pass-Through?EXAMPLEThis represents the DATA OUT from a previous Zap step that I want to be all sent dynamically to the next action step without the user having to map any input field values.

401 error when using the retrieve poll Webhook in Zapier

So I’m extremely new to this and don’t really have an understanding of API and how webhooks work.  I try to folllow the directions based on the API documentation for the website (themoviedb.org) and the prompts given by Zapier.  I’m attempting to collect the data via api or popular/trending movies. The TMDB is a website that posts movies, ratings, summaries, etc.  The site requires a login and once I’ve logged in it gives me an API Key and Token. I’m just not sure how to translate that into the “retrieve poll” trigger option in Zapier. Please let me know if I’ve given sufficient information and please explain everything to me as if I were a middle schooler.  Thanks a bunch!

Webhook issue with Zapier: File and form data not accepted by API

Hi all,I am exactly facing the same problem described at this related topic 4 months ago: Zapier Webhook wrongly builds http request when sending both form params and files at once, wrapping all form params in a single param named “data”. In fact, thanks to the author I could verify such behaviour by using webhook.site.I’m also aware there might be a possible workaround by using zapier code so as to perform api call properly and return the response but afaik, this is a bug, and hence, I would like to know (if possible) if there is an ETA for it before trying the workaround. Thank you in advance

Sending file + other data to my custom web api

Hi! I am trying to send information and a file to a web api that I created. I can update the web api to support this. Basically in zapier I did the following (see screenshot) This is the code to my web api.  [HttpPost] public async Task<IActionResult> Post([FromForm] IFormFile file, [FromForm] EmailData data) { Console.WriteLine(data.Subject); Console.WriteLine(file.FileName); return Ok(); }I can either send the subject info or the file info - it is not allowing me to send both. If I update the parameters in my web api to recieve only the file - and send only the file it works well or if I update the parameters to recieve only the EmailData (which is a class with a property of subject) and send only the subject it works well. I need both values.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!Thank you!

Mailerlite - How to turn subscribers to active instead of unconfirmed

I have a setup a Zap to create or update subscribers based on new Google sheet row. The test was successful, however all new subscribers are classified as unconfirmed although I disabled double opt-in in the mailerlite settings. Can anyone help me here? I read in another conversation that some of you worked with “Code by Zapier” to add a Python code.

How to format transactions from Wise API to Google Sheets using Zapier

Hey guys, I’m trying to get all the new transactions from my Wise account (banking app) and add them to a google sheet every other day.There is no native integration between Wise and Zapier so I had to use the Wise API (https://docs.wise.com/api-docs/api-reference/activity) & the webhook by Zapier feature.Here is how my Zap looks like so far:  My problem is… when I test the “retrieve poll” step, all the transactions come in as a list that looks like this: Every single text block under “Activities” is a unique transaction that I want to add to my Google Sheet: I want to use the parameters highlighted in yellow in step #2 of my Zap - here they are: Is there any way to do so?

Troubleshooting JSON mapping issues in Zapier with Python code

I currently have a zap that uses python in code by zapier. This script make an API call and returns 999 values in JSON (1000 is the limit) Trying maintain a real-time updates on values in multiple columns on these 1000 records My API call through code by zapier grabs all of the latest information when it runs.  When I go through the steps in edit it seems to work on the one I use as example When I run the entire zap it gives me the “ no new data” message every single time.  It appears that the script does not actually refresh my API information within the zap when I press run I am not sure it is going through each of the 999 records either When it searches for a record, it add a new record if a match is not found. The the next step I have it updating the information on existing. Is that the correct process to do this?I probably just need to be pointed in the right direction.  Here is a screenshot of the zaps.

Webhook hydrate file

Hi Everyone,I’m new to Zapier and absolutely loving it so far!That said, I’m not a coder, so please forgive me if I use any incorrect terminology.I’m trying to perform a GET request using a Webhook, following the vendor’s documentation, but the response I get is a Hydrated File. When I test the same parameters using curl on my local machine, I can see the raw JSON response without any issues.What might I be doing wrong?

Redirecting Survey Respondents to Dynamic URL Based on Their Responses

 I am setting up a Zap to redirect survey respondents from QuestionPro to a dynamically generated URL based on a specific field condition from their survey response.Steps Taken:Created a Zapier webhook (Catch Hook) and successfully integrated it with QuestionPro's webhook. Verified that all survey response fields are being sent to Zapier correctly. Used a Formatter step in Zapier to generate a dynamic URL based on a field condition (e.g., if a certain field equals a specific value). Added a final Webhook step in Zapier to redirect respondents to the dynamically generated URL.The Issue:After completing the survey, respondents are redirected to a blank page displaying a JSON message ( instead of being redirected to the dynamic link){"attempt":"<id>","id":"<id>","request_id":"<id>","status":"success"}. This JSON message matches the "Data Out" response from the final Webhook action in Zapier. It's unclear how to correctly configure the final Webhook Specific Questions:Sho

Zapier-Botpress Integration

Hello. I have a sample AI chatbot/agent set up in BotPress Studio. The basic functionality of the bot is to answer queries from users about real-estate trends.Since, this is a sample bot, I have connected it to Google Sheets to fetch and send data to the users based on the menu-based options they select as responses to the bot’s questions.The flow is working perfectly in the Studio emulator.I now want to connect the bot to a messaging vendor (Twilio). To do this, I am connecting the bot to Twilio via Zapier so that when I send a message (Hey or Hi) from my personal number to the Twilio Test number, Twilio can send my texts/responses to Zapier, Zapier can send them to the bot, the bot sends back its answers to Zapier, Zapier sends these answers to Twilio, and then finally Twilio sends these answers back to my personal number.The issue I am facing is that while setting up the Zap, i am successfully able to test that the Zapier webhook is sending the test message (Hey) from Twilio to my b

Zoom API (Beta) 401 error not handled correctly

Below is the Zoom API (Beta) request and response. We had to use the API for registering webinar attendees since the action for Create Webinar Registrant doesn’t have a last name field like Create Meeting Registrant which I find to be odd.I understand the API Request is currently in Beta stage and would like to report this as a bug. Ideally the 401 status code should trigger a re-authentication on the Zoom connection or alert the user with a failed message if the HTTP request returns something other than a 200 or 201 response status. Thanks!-Arment

How to resolve the error "Access token is expired." I am getting from Zoom API's (Beta)?

Hey everyone,I am trying to debug an error related to Zoom API (Beta), and would love to get more insight on this, please:I have created a Zap that when someone pays on Stripe -> Add a registrant on Zoom meeting.I have added a action that retrieves the list of all the Zoom Meetings. Sometime this action works fine and sometime i get an error "Access Token Is Expired". How to debug this error? These are the screenshots of different sections of the API calls: This the error as well:  So as a result I am getting this error when Zapier tries to create a meeting for the registrant: There were quite a few persons experiencing the same error as well too:  But havent seen any responses on possible solution.We have reached to Zapier Support on this matter, but we havent heard a response from them as yet aswell. So were hoping that maybe someone experienced it before and had a solution.  cc: @jayeshkumarbhatia

How to access raw JSON from webhooks by Zapier using data passthrough?

While this question has been asked a multitude of times, there is no actual answer to be found in all those threads. Here’s my situation:I’m doing a “lookup spreadsheet rows” on google sheets Then passing the result json on to a webhook (using “data passthrough” on the “webhooks by zapier” custom request Now I would like to receive the raw json that is returned by the webhook.Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find an acceptable way to access the raw result json from the “webhooks by zapier” custom request step. Only the parsed data is available. Reading through the support forum, I’m seeing two answers popping up: suggested approach 1: Using another zap with a webhook trigger to send the raw data to. This hack is insane, why would I want to use another zap, another webhook dependency, to be able to access data that should be accessible by default? In a year, no one will be able to manage this weird zap construction anymore, this is just not an acceptable approach. https://community
