Zapieer MCP to VAPI connection - Does not work

Hi,I was interested in Zapier’s MCP and had a look at the following youtube video - https://youtu.be/QEShi98TCaU?si=9WcTK4SnMfONyAiR -  where the developer shows how to use Zapier MCP to connect to VAPI’s AI Voice Assistant, I followed the video to the letter ‘t’ (except copy his prompts, but, the important once were copied) but could not sent even one SMS.This is what I get from the call log{ "role": "tool_calls", "time": 1748618189819, "message": "", "toolCalls": [ { "id": "call_DNwH6A7UxXINoWwlcIApDKjr", "type": "function", "function": { "name": "mcp_tool", "arguments": "{}" } }, { "id": "call_PCMnea2spYJ7bHp1U0CglJOr", "type": "function", "function": { "name": "mcp_tool", "arguments": "{}" } } ], "secondsFromStart": 74.633}Where seems to be the problem,  could you please help?Thanks,Shanker Nair

Agentic AI with Zapier for Retention Workflows - Leveraging AI Inside Real Word Feedback

Hi everyone, excited to join the community.At Hashlogics, we’ve been actively building AI powered retention and loyalty systems using Zapier as the core automation layer. Our current focus is around agentic workflows where AI agents trigger personalized actions across tools like Slack, Notion, and email, based on live user behavior.One scenario we’re testing: A user event enters via webhook Zapier calls a GPT based agent for segmentation and intent detection It then routes the response to dynamic follow up actions through Slack or scheduled sequences All results are logged in Notion for async visibility We’re deliberately keeping the setup lean and dev friendly so it’s scalable without depending on a complex custom backend. I’ve personally blocked time to handle this sprint and would love to connect with anyone solving similar challenges, especially around: Structuring testable Zapier workflows for AI agents Handling unpredictability in LLM outputs Keeping tone and logic cons

No option to enable ‘thinking’ in Anthropic Claude? 

The Anthropic API has options to enable ‘thinking’ in its newest models (Sonnet 3.7, Sonnet 4 and Opus 4). As far as I can see, there’s no option to enable this in Zapier, so currently all the requests to the new models are not doing any thinking. Anthropic docs for this are here: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/build-with-claude/extended-thinking#how-extended-thinking-worksWould be great to have this as an option (and also to have the thinking tokens/summaries as a variable we can work with too), as it unlocks the higher levels of capability (there are some Zaps I have that will only work with Opus thinking atm).

Action to archive a project not available.

The Action to archive a Clockify project based on triggers isn’t available. It’s simply not an option on the list of possible actions. Is there a way to workaround the same or add it manually with a little coading? Also, is there any way to have the action added? is yes, the ETA on the same.

How to send outbound emails to clients using Zapier and Tally

Hello guys. I did a landing page on Tally.so where the client have to sign a form I’ve created, and after that, an email arrive to him in outbound.To automatize that, I use Zapier.But on Zapier, when I connect “Email by Zapier” app, the only thing I don’t understand is the first form, so who’s the destinatary of this email? The destinatary the client that submitted on Tally, but there is no option to select that mail in general. Or maybe I don’t understand the words... How do I send the outbound emails to clients?

Zapier Agents API

Hello everyone,I’ve been exploring Zapier Agents and I love the idea of automating complex workflows across multiple apps. However, at the moment all agent creation and configuration seems to happen via the web UI.I’m working on a product that would benefit from: Dynamically spinning up agents based on user preferences Updating agent behavior (prompts, triggers, data sources) from my own backend Listing and managing existing agents (e.g. enable/disable, inspect status) …all without forcing users to leave our application.Before I invest more time in building an internal solution, I wanted to ask: Does Zapier offer any (public or partner-only) API endpoints for creating, updating or deleting Zapier Agents programmatically? If not, is there a private/undocumented API that some partners use? Are there any work-arounds or best practices for embedding agent-creation workflows into my own UI? Is this functionality on Zapier’s public roadmap, or is a Partner API planned? Any pointers

Twilio Integration using API Key (Not Root Account Credentials)

My team is trying to create an integration between Zapier and Twilio. When creating the Zap, the Twilio integration step is asking for our Twilio Account SID and Account Auth token. We would much prefer to instead use a Twilio API Key and Secret, which we can generate for this specific use case, instead of providing the root credentials to our Twilio account. Twilio’s own documentation suggests using API Keys for third-party integrations, and in fact states that “Twilio doesn't recommend using your Account SID and Auth Token in production” at all - (https://www.twilio.com/docs/iam/api-keys#why-you-should-use-api-keys)  Given that API Keys and the root account credentials should generally be equivalent in what they can grant access to, is there a reason the Twilio/Zapier integration requires the root Twilio account credentials?

Troubleshooting contact import from Zoho to Pipedrive

So I’ve set up a zap that will create a new contact in Pipedrive when a Lead is tagged with the tag “hot sauce”.I’m running into this problem:It's saying the person id needs to be a number, but it is a number?Does it need to be a shorter number? I am importing the Lead ID from Zoho as the Person ID assigned in Pipedrive.I haven’t found a way around this yet. Any suggestions?

How to efficiently split text outputs in Zapier workflows

I have custom field outputs from my trigger that I need to separate by comas and use each value later in the workflow. Text to line-item and split text work similarly, but when I use the pill in a later step it merges all values back together. See screenshots where the first was the output directly from the action test, and the second is the output from the pill. My workaround fix is to use text to line-item, then use the output of that in split text, then use that output in line-item to text. However I need to do line-item to text for each value which ends up using a lot of actions and I will end up reaching usage limitations.I have also tried custom pill mapping but have not found luck.There has to be a more efficient way to split text by comas and use the output.

Reddit OAuth token expiration issue and daily reconnection need

Hi all, I'm following the fix for Reddit integration outlined in this help article: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496006907021-How-to-get-started-with-Reddit-on-Zapier#connect-to-app-on-zapierJust want to flag that currently, the OAuth token generated from the connection expires in 24 hours, and is not automatically renewed by Zapier. This necessitates the user (me) needing to reconnect their Reddit account every 24 hours. Is there anything I can change on my end so this isn’t required so frequently?Alternatively, if it's possible to update/adjust on your end so that I don't have to make reconnecting Reddit a daily ritual it would be much appreciated!

How does Square recognize the connection from my WooCommerce Zap?

When creating a zap between a woocommerce order and sending a Square Invoice, I need to log into Square obviously so it can send the invoice.  My question is if the backend of this zap (api calls or something) lets Square know it’s on my website or if it shows the connection as coming from zapier?

Hey! I”m trying to create an automation that goes from (simplified but you get the idea) Airtable new row → Prompts SOMETHING to do some research → AI writes summary → adds summary to Airtable. It doesn’t seem ChatGPT is connecting to the internet to search for up-to-date info. Will Claude do this? Is this where I need perplexity?

Slack 'New Reaction Added' Trigger Stopped Working for Public Channels After May 7

My Zap using the Slack “New Reaction Added” trigger was working fine before May 7, but it suddenly stopped triggering after that. No changes were made. Can you check what went wrong? There were no changes made to our Slack workspace or account settings during that time. The Zap is still active, and the Slack connection is showing as properly connected in Zapier.Everything was working as expected before May 7, and then it just stopped triggering without any updates or modifications on our side.Could you please check from your end if there were any updates or issues affecting this trigger?

Troubleshooting Invalid client_id error when integrating Zapier with OAuth2

Hi there,I’m building a platform and want to integrate Zapier with Oauth2 for my users to be able to connect their accounts to be used with Zapier.I’ve gone through the documentation and created a new integration.Everything has gone ok up until this point. When trying to connect with Zapier I’m getting the following:My understanding is that the client_id should come from my platform, correct? So I created a random client_id string that is used both from my platform (and included in the url parameter “client_id=clientIdString”). And the same string is saved in the integrations Application credentials/Client ID. And a followup question to this. When setting up the authentication, step 5, trying to connect to my app, Zeppier does not seem to include the Authentication token in the request header. I would love to get some help with this so I can launch the Zapier integration in my platform.

Is ChatGPT 4o's image generation available in Zapier yet ?

Hi guys ! I’ve seen the launch of GPT 4o’s new API that allows you to generate images via API now, but is it implemented in Zapier yet ? I tried to test it in one of my zaps, but the are absolutely no generated image available in the outputs of my zap. And I really need this new 4o image generation system, not DALL-E… So I was wondering, do I use the right model (gpt 4o-latest) ? Or is the image generation still not available in Zapier ?  Thanks in advance for your answers,Have a good day !
