Make sample data dependent on an input field

I have an Action for looking up a record in my app, in which I have an Input Field with a static Dropdown that allows the zap builder to pick the object. (It works just like the Find Record action in the Salesforce integration)Since this one Action can be used for 10 different objects, I have limited the Sample Data to the only field that every object will have, which is the ID.Now when creating a Zap Template that uses this Action, it is giving me errors because I don’t have Sample Data for the object I’m using in the Template. For example:I want to filter on whether the record has a Salesforce Opportunity ID, but the filter gives an error if I don’t specify a Sample Data field. I want map fields in subsequent steps but can’t do it without Sample Data.Is there a way to make my Sample Data dynamic so it changes depending on which object is selected in the Object Input Field?Are there any other ways to make Templates with Actions for generic objects? Or do I have to create a Find Record

Is there any way to create templates without publishing app in Zapier?

Just want to know if there is way to create templates without publishing the app in public. We need to create template first and then go for publishing it to public.But the problem is , we are building templates and some users are trying to access those apps as it is publicly available . Is there any way we can hide or restrict users to use our apps till we finished our templates.

Search action that returns one item

Hi,I have an API that returns the summary of a survey. As it is not going to create any data in the system I use the ‘Search’ option rather than the ‘Create’ option for the action type.But Zapier is expecting an array of objects to be returned and my API is just returning one. I don’t want to have to change my API to suit Zapier so can someone please tell me how I get Zapier to accept the single object?Thank you,Steve

Restrict account to use Zaps

Hello Zapier team.In my app I have two types of user account: starter and pro. Only pro accounts may use Zaps of my integration.What is the correct way to restrict starter user account to use Zaps? Would it be possible to mark it as RESTRICTED (instead of EXPIRED) when choosing account?Currently I am checking type of user in test function (authentication.js file), and if it is not pro account I throw an error which resolves in immediate account expiration (see attachment).

Oauth2 authentication: various errors

I am implementing an Oauth2 server on my side with PHP using OAuth2 - PHPLeaguehttps://oauth2.thephpleague.com/ Issue #01 I have configured email and password as Authentication Fields  Then I add them to the Authorization url so I can do validation and authentication on my oauth2 server.  This part is working, but I am wondering if I can send it through the header to avoid having to encode it in the url?, I have tried adding these parameters to the headers form, but after I save the header is removed. Not sure if I am missing a naming convention on headers params, Issue #02 I am not able to show an error in zapier when calling authorization endpoint. I have tried returning a PSR7 response and simple json response.   But I only see a white screen, what is the correct error response format? Issue #03 On the Authorization request I return the user id, but I also need to return other user info to use on the Connection Label.

Facing issue while integrating my app (using bearer token login Api) with zapier authorization

Hi!Trying to integrate our property portal Api, for authorization we have to integrate login Api with bearer token in headers.But for zapier, the user will add his credentials with username and password for login on our platform. As our system Api is taking the bearer token key in the header of each request. how we can send bearer token keys (header) to login Api?Which auth will be best for building auth on zapier for our system?Looking forward to your positive response. thanks

Trigger returns 403 error when testing even though response contains data

I’m just testing a trigger using polling. It returns a 403 error. However, in the http tab, I can see all my data came in the response content. So, clearly something else is going on… Any pointers will be appreciated.

Ordering Output fields

Hi,Is it possible to specify an order for the output fields? We are using dynamic output fields to generate the labels to display for each property returned in the output, but getting the list of these results in the next actions always shows the fields in a different order than what was specified.

Google Local Services API + CRM - Nested Arrays ( API Response Mapping Issue )

Hi there Zapier Community, I’m building a custom Zap to integrate Google Local Service Ads API with our CRM. It appears everything is functioning properly however, I noticed several new leads are not coming through, which appears to be due to the API request sending nested data using the same field values.  Here is an example response:  { "leadId": "000000000", "accountId": "000000000", "businessName": "Acme, Inc", "leadCreationTimestamp": "2022-08-09T16:21:14Z", "leadType": "PHONE_CALL", "leadCategory": "roofer", "geo": "Miami,Florida,United States", "phoneLead": { "consumerPhoneNumber": "+15555555678" }, "chargeStatus": "NOT_CHARGED", "currencyCode": "USD", "timezone": { "id": "America/New_York" }, "id": "0000000000" }, { "leadId": "000000000", "accountId": "000000000", "businessName": "Acme, Inc", "leadCreationTimestamp": "2022-08-09T16:39:38Z", "leadType": "MESSAGE", "leadCategory": "roofer", "geo": "Miami,F

Dynamic Input Fields for Actions

Hi,  I am fairly new to Zapier ecosystem and writing a Zapier Action to “Create a new Journey”. Journey here is a Table in my DB.The INPUT FIELDS of my action are not static and depends upon the Type Of “Journey”. There are 3 types of journeys. The most basic type has straightforward input fields. The input fields of other types are nested attributes and are totally dynamic.For the example I am attaching a screenshot. internal_stakeholder_attributes and document_custom_fields are dynamic array of objects which may or may not exist depending upon the type of Journey and its Associations.My questions are : 1) How can I make the input fields dynamic ? 2) How can i nest them ?

Connecting Zapier to my platform

Hi guys,I want to integrate Zapier as a middleware between my platform and Connectwise. What Zapier helps me are pushing accounts and subscription from our platform to be Companies/Additions in ConnectWise.The problem is now my platform does not have Zapier on that, I have to create my own connectors. It means I have to configurate from A to Z manually.Can I ask if it is possible to do that? If yes, how can I map the variables from our system to Zapier. Or I just need to map our variables with ConnectWise variables, Zapier will transfer all the data based on mapped variables?Is it allowed if I tell our platform here?Thanks,Oscar

How to bust the cache of a dynamic dropdown base?

Let’s say I have those two dynamic dropdowns in an action (linked to hidden triggers):inputFields: [ { key: 'organization', type: 'string', dynamic: 'organizationList.id.name', }, { key: 'team', type: 'string', dynamic: 'teamList.id.name', },]When the end user selects an organization, the team dropdown passes the organization id in its request to the API. Consequently, the the team dropdown is populated only with teams from the selected organization.perform: async (z, bundle) => { let params = {} if (bundle.inputData.organization) { params.organization = bundle.inputData.organization } const options = { url: `${process.env.HOST}/v1/teams`, method: "GET", params }; return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const result = z.JSON.parse(response.content); return result.teams });},Now my question is, if the end user, goes back to the organization dropdown and selects another organization how can we bust
