Search by several parameters

Hi,I am trying to create an API request, with a search action meant to search for a contact. I want to be able to run the seach with multiple search terms in different fields, and if one of them matches the query returns that contact. For example searching by:NameORE-mail addressORBusiness registration numberThe way I have set it up now, it seems like all fields entered are required to match in order to return a result. So for example if it searches for the correct business reg. no., but the seach also includes an outdated e-mail address - the search fails. Is there a way to fix this through the API request? Or must the user set up path rules in the zap in order to achieve this? This is the API request as of now: params: { 'name': bundle.inputData.name, 'email': bundle.inputData.email, 'organizationNumber': bundle.inputData.organizationNumber, 'supplierNumber': bundle.inputData.supplierNumber, 'customerNumber': bundle.inputData.customerNumber, 'memberNumber': bundle.i

Problems with Javascript String functions (split, indexOf, charAt)

I am trying to add some custom handling to the Authentication step of my integration. Specifically I need  to parse a suffix that is part of the API Key. However, the string operation functions are behaving oddly. The charAt() function always returns code 108, "|". The split() and indexOf() functions do not find the character specified.  Is this some sort of security thing or am I missing something.

API Documentation

This may sound like a stupid question, but is there a possibility to share my API documentation as a pdf link of google drive 😅? it’s not yet available on our public site and that can take some time for design?

Renew access token for trust pilot connection

Hi all,I’m calling a trustpilot endpoint (https://invitations-api.trustpilot.com/v1/private/business-units/60520db4bc25b30001dadc3a/email-invitations) with an access token in the header.This all works fine, but the accesstoken is only valid for 4 days. I can request a new access token before every call, but requesting an access token too often results in an error:https://developers.trustpilot.com/authentication#auth-codeIt’s also possible to refresh the access token using the refresh token, but the refresh is also only valid for one time.Does anyone have any pointers on how to go around these issues?

"fields list" trigger input

Hello,I need to allow a Zapier user to create a Zap that syncs entities containing custom fields between my platform and a CRM.It seems the best way to do that would be allowing the user to specify the field list on a trigger, using a form looking like this one :i.e. the user inputs multiple items, each having 3 properties :key ; label, which, as a last resort, could be auto-generated from the key property on my back-end, although it would reduce the user’s experience ; type, which needs to be a dropdown offering a few choices like string/integer/boolean/datetime ;How to do that ?The string input field with the allow multiples option would only allow specifying 1 property per item The dictionary input field would only allow specifying 2 properties per item and would not allow autocompleting the 3rd oneThanks

the "Test Trigger" is not returning any records

“This post has been edited by a moderator to remove personal information. Please remember that this is a public forum and to remove any sensitive information prior to posting.”I have create a new Trigger which looks for new & updated records from my API.I am configuring a Zap to test it out, I fill out the required fields and when I click the “Test Trigger”, I get the message “We couldn't find an update”. However, on my API I have logging. I see the request to the API come from Zapier and I see the records that are returned, so the API is working correctly, but I’m getting this message that it doesn’t see any data?Am I missing something or is this a bug? The API is clearly returning data. (I’ve also verified this from PostMan).Not sure how to proceed as my API working..Also, Wanted to add that I can successfully test the trigger from the developer page. When I test the trigger, it shows the returned data:So again, this appears to be a bug with the “Test Trigger” functionality??

"Got a two or more results with the id of..." - how to combine attributes to make the id unique?

I have a trigger call which returns results with an id value. I add to set it explicitly in the code as it wasn’t returned as the first attribute within each result. My code is as follows:return z.request(options).then((response) => {  response.throwForStatus();  const results = response.json;  const downloads = results["downloads"].map((item) => {    return Object.assign(item, {      id: item["id"],    });  });The problem however is that it appears that the id’s are not always unique, which then throws the API invalid response error:“Got a two or more results with the id of...”This is an example of a result:{ "date_downloaded": "2022-05-18T14:42:55.145Z", "id": "string", "asset_type": "string", "product_type": "string", "thumb_uri": "string", "agreement_name": "string", "product_id": 0, "download_details": { "download_notes": "string", "project_code": "string" }My question: how could I set the Zapier item id to be a comb

What if hook result has more attributes than polling result?

Hello,I faced a problem during the Validate Integration step before publish hook-based triggers.I set perform_list api as guided for a hook-based trigger to pass the Validate Integration before publishing the trigger. This perform_list api returns latest data for the trigger. For example, [Lead Created] trigger’s perform_list api returns latest created lead data, and lead data contains custom_fields which are consist of sigle and also multiple values as below and every users(or workspace) has different custom_fields. (users can customize custom_fields. That is, custom_fields is a set of dynamic data and the data is nullable){ … ,  "custom_fields": {             "supporters": ["Emily","Susie"],              "investor":["XXX"],              "value": 15000000,              "currency":"USD",              "workspace":"workspace1"   }}The problem is,If the perform_list api returns latest lead data which has empty custom_fields like {... “custom_fields” : {} } during the composing zap by user

Adding a new field in trigger output

Our Zapier Integration is in public beta. While making Zap Templates we’ve realized that we’ll need some more data to power some of the use cases. Do we need to follow the “promote > migrate > deprecate” flow for adding new fields in the API response that powers one of our Triggers? We don’t have any live users besides zaps created for testing.
