How to convert unreadable Magicform keys to readable labels like Typeform?

We are building an integration for our platform “Magicform: which is a form builder software. For example when configuring the trigger. A sample form-response is obtained by zapier for allowing the user to test their integration. When the sample response is received it contains fields like `field_adf67asf9` so that it remains reusable for further responses of the same form. But when I was taking a look at how “Typeform” does it. It makes those unreadable keys to readable form by replacing those keys `field_adf67asf9` with the actual question. How can i do the same. For more context refer the following image On further inspecting the API calls this is what I was able to see. That is the fields are being converted to a more readable form by replacing the “key” with the “actual question”. How to do it```json { "key": "field_wAkjqnVCleUw", "type": "decimal", "label": "Net Promote Score :- How likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?", "custom_field": true, "zap_meta_sample"

Testing dynamic fields

Hello,I have created an action with only one field which is a dynamic field.I don't know how to do the tests. Unlike the input fields, in the input designer no field appears in the 'zap editor preview': In the API configuration phase, in step 2 Test your api resquest, no field appears either. Only one field called key appears The code for this dynamic field from the Input Designer step is: // Configure a request to an endpoint of your api that// returns custom field meta data for the authenticated// user. Don't forget to configure authentication! const options = { url: 'https://wtest.xxxx.com/i2mapi/v1_0/getFieldNamesFromElement/0', method: 'GET', headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Authorization': bundle.authData.api_key, }, params: { }} return z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const results = response.json; // modify your api response to return an array of Field objects // see https://zapier.github.io/zapier-platform-schema/build/schema.html#fi

Invalid date formatted to Today

My CLI application/integration has several actions each with one or more datetime input fields. My QA team has reported that when they send an invalid date string, e.g. `2023-02-31`, it is converted to today’s date and time. I have put some console logging into the action perform function and confirmed that when the rawInput value is an invalid date, the input value is today’s date. I have been asked to treat invalid dates as an error and to halt execution. I have considered adding code that checks the input value and if it is today’s date, then inspects the rawInput to determine if the original input was an invalid date. I think this sounds much easier said than done. Is there an easier way to do this? Is there some way to get the formatter to not convert invalid dates to today?

How long is data kept for in Zapier? And how secure is it?

I’ve created a zap that gets some data from one endpoint and sends it to another endpoint. My question is how long does that data exist for in Zapier? Does it only exist for the lifetime of that one Zap run? I also use Zapier storage, and I clear the storage once a week - after clearing Zapier storage I’m assuming the data is completely gone from Zapier? Is the data that the Zap makes use of secure whilst it is in Zapier? I know any handling of data in code steps or our own integrations is up to us to make sure it is secure, but if one step of the Zap has a GET request for example and it retrieves data from an endpoint. Will that data be kept secure as long as it exists in Zapier?

Rest Hook: check when POST to targetURL is still working

Hi! First of all thanks for your support! Copying question from here, since the developer forum seems better fit for it: ---I am trying to setup an application using Rest Hooks and at the moment I have everything working as follows 1 - When a user sets up a Zap then Zapier calls the subscribe hook endpoint from our API and we save the targetUrl internally2 - When a user disables or deletes a Zap then Zapier calls the unsubscribe hook and we delete the targetUrl associated with the subscriber.id passed on the unsubscribe My question, would be on how to check if a given targetUrl is still `working`. The reason to ask for this, is related to the fact the unsubscribe flow from (2) might fail, but Zapier would still disable the Zap since it would not wait for the `unsubscribe` operation to be successfully fullfilled. The problem we might face here, is that if for any reason our API is unreachable at the time of an unsubscribe, we might have `targetUrls` in our system that are no longer `act

Best way to display a key value pair input using a dynamic field.

My API requires an input similar to this. { [ { "dataType": "uint8", "value": "255" }, { "dataType": "uint16", "value": "1234" }, { "dataType": "uint8[]", "value": "["255","254"]" } ]} We are mapping a data type to a value. Using a Dynamic input type i have generated this type of UI which requires the user to declare all the types in one item area and then separately declare all the values which is not ideal. Is there a way that i can group the key and value together and allow multiple inputs?

Fields in zaps

Hi, We are developing an integration for Zapier. It's a CRM. We are implementing the 'add contact' action.A contact in our CRM has, by default, four fields: contact_id, contact_first_name, contact_last_name and contact_email.None are required, so we're adding all four in the form editor.Our clients can customize contacts with new fields specific to their companies.We cannot know them at this time. Will our customers be able to add new fields when using this integration in a Zap?For example, our client has added the 'country' field to their contact. Will our client be able to add the country field when creating a zap even though it is not defined in our integration?Thank you

Show dynamic fields via API based on selected value

I am building an app in Zapier GUI, First I will show a dynamic dropdown and user will select a template from the list. Second I will use the selected value to make an API call to get the fields. Please note that each templates have different field types and more than 5 fields. Eg: User select the Real Estate Template. We will call the API with selected Real Estate Template ID to get the fields. This template have different fields such as Text, Select, TextArea, Boolean ect. I’ve gone through many articles here but none of them helpful.

Testing API polling based triggers

Hey Zapier team, I can see the “Test” step in API polling based triggers basically tries to poll for recent records from the endpoint defined in `perform` step. Its easy and simple when the API returns the records matching the output fields as defined. As it gives the user a confidence in how the data might look like. Consider this case: The user selects an input choice from dynamic dropdown. Say ‘UserID’ : ‘123’. My perform setup is an API call to say GET ‘booksRead/user?UserID=123’. Query parameter populated from bundle data. The API returns a response like {currentlyReading: {}, userDetails: {id: 123,isLoggedIn: true, isAdmin: false} }, currentlyReading this value gets updated whenever the user picks up a book to read. So, zapier polls for change in the response and hence a change in currentlyReading every certain interval, and whenever there is a change, say userID:123 picked up ‘ZapierGuide’ to read, I make the perform return a composite object something like this: { user: {id: 12
