Control number of retries with z.errors.ThrottledError

I read about the example below, but I am worried about infinite retries if somehow the server keeps returning 429s. Is there a default limit on the number of retry? Is there a way to control the number of retries from a throttledError? https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/blob/main/packages/cli/README.md#handling-throttled-requestsconst yourAfterResponse = (resp) => { if (resp.status === 429) { throw new z.errors.ThrottledError('message here', 60); // Zapier will retry in 60 seconds } return resp;};

Send {{bundle.inputData.name}} in trigger request

Hi Folks,I created an app on zapier (dummy name) “xyz”.I am a developer of “xyz” app who is integrating the “xyz” plugin into zapier.I configured this app by selecting the authentication method as “API Key Authentication”. While configuring it, I provided the API endpoint URL. I want to store the data that I get from my APIs and want to use them while firing triggers.My API response after authentication{token:”ASDEQWEADS123123QADASDADASD”} I have set {{bundle.inputData.token}} to Connection Label.But now firing any trigger of action’s form ‘s field, I want to send this token to my API.But didn’t receive the “token” key in whole bundle object (this was only containing - auth form data & action form data) headers: {    'bundleData': JSON.stringify(bundle)},Currently using - API Key Authentication MethodPlease help

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

Need a Titlecase Label is not going away!

To-dos that must be addressed before your integration can be included in the App Directory: I’m getting a warning to change the Titlecase but when I do, the warning doesn’t go away. I even had just one word in the field - capitalized - and still got the error.

.zapierapprc resetting

I am building a zapier app which is using the vm2 module. But for some reason, zapier decides to exclude many files from the module causing the app to error.I am trying to add"includeInBuild": [    "node_modules/vm2/*",    "node_modules/vm2/lib/*.js",  ]to the .zapierapprc file but it doesn’t work.Everytime I link my app to a zapier project, the .zapierapprc goes back to default, deleting those lines.If I just add the lines and runs zapier build, it doesn’t include the files either.What am I doing wrong.

Meaning of Publishing Errors - Needs Successful Task

Good morning, I’m experiencing some issues on the developer dashboard with the Publishing tasks. I am aware there are some outstanding issues being addressed in that section of the platform but do not believe this to be a duplicate. I have created successful Zaps for my triggers that perform the expected tests in the Zap Creation process as expected. When I return to the publishing tasks and re-run the validation, the validation process doesn’t seem to register my Zap has been created. For instance, I have created a trigger that returns a record set of types of sources. Then, I create a Zap that uses that trigger (get_lead_sources in this case). The Zap functions as expected. When I re-run the validation, I would expect the steps related to a Zap not being created to go away. Instead, I see the following screen:     Thanks in advance for any insights you may be able to provide.

Matching label text in a dynamic dropdown

Hi all, I’ve got a dynamic dropdown that makes a request to retrieve a list of items and corresponding IDs in order to pass the IDs along: This works great but I’m wondering about trying to extend functionality - how would I go about allowing a user to match on the label (e.g., “T Shirt”) of the Merchandise Item? I of course can setup additional dynamic input fields to drive this if need be (such as what’s written here) but is there an easier way that I’m missing?

OAuth Access Token for AAD

I’m trying to make a REST API call to an app that uses OAuth2 for authentication AAD.I need to generate an OAuth Access Token as an action before the next action to make an API call in Zapier. OAuth tokens expire so I would need to run it each time the zap is triggered.If there are any documents or tutorials to achieve that please share on this thread, thanks

Trigger with variable output fields

Hi!I’m trying to implement a trigger that would run when the user submits a form from our website. The form can have a variable number of fields. What is the best way to make these fields available as outputs of the trigger? It should be possible to:forward all the field key value pairs to another app in the next step (so that it would work correctly regardless of the number of fields) pick some fields to be used in next steps of the Zap (if something in the action step depends on the value)Outputing the key-value pairs as line items allows forwarding them in bulk, but I can’t find a way to select some specific key to use in the next step. Creating dynamic output fields would allow using a specific field’s value in the next step, but not forwarding all the fields in bulk.Is there a good way to set it up so that both ways would be possible?

Use data in current call of trigger from the last trigger call

Hello, glad to meet  with great community. I have WebAPI for trigger which has date range, like StartDate and EndDate. We have a lot of data and we decided to limit them for dates range. Now I am setting up new intergation based on this API. I want to set these two inputs parameters automatically like:StartDate = 01-01-1900 for first call of trigger OR EndDate from previous call of the trigger.EndDate = current date. As result I want to see next picture, for example:1 call of trigger - StartDate = 01.01.1900, EndDate = 01.05.20212 call of trigger - StartDate = 01.05.2021, EndDate = 01.06.20213 call of trigger - StartDate = 01.06.2021, EndDate = 01.07.2021 and ect. How can I get access to input values from previous step and also I must be sure that previous call was successful. Thanks and best regards.

String or text with comma gets turned into an array

So I’ve come to realize any string or text input field with a comma, at least while testing in Step 2, sends the field as an array separated at the comma. Is there some way to globally override or change this? Over all my actions I have dozens if not 100+ fields where user input could and should contain a comma. Server side as well, I dont want to introduce handling per field. None of these fields have “Allow Multiples” set so Im not sure why its converting

Graph API

 I wrote an app that uses your OAuth v2 integration.When I attempt to test the authentication, I get an error:The app returned "AADSTS700016: Application with identifier 'undefined' was not found in the directory 'My Company'. This can happen if the application has not been installed by the administrator of the tenant ...". AADSTS700016: Application with identifier 'undefined' was not found in the directory 'My Company'. This can happen if the application has not been installed by the administrator of the tenant or consented to by any user in the tenant. You may have sent your authentication request to the wrong tenant.  In Microsoft’s parlance, I’m using “application” authentication, rather than “delegated” (for a user).  It seems that the Authorization URL that’s required by your form expects a delegated auth, rather than application.Is there another authentication option that would be more flexible, but still have a callback URL?

Zapier instant trigger having dynamic data

HelloI am trying to make my own app’s trigger using cli-integration.I cant use static output fields, my trigger have dynamic output fields, defined according to input field. I am based on this example https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/blob/main/examples/restHooks.js that might be outdated it seems, considering the doc:https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496244568589-Types-of-triggers-in-Zaps#polling-triggers-0-1 at section“Testing triggers to return test records” My trigger have one input, an idProject, which is used to know what kind of output the trigger will have ie what  is the json structure of my webhook push.my API will then push notification following the schema of the given idProject.So I make zapier call my API to fetch some sample data, like in the github example (performList) even though we are using a rest web hook.  When making the zap at the test trigger phase, it fails with “Unable to pull contacts Please reload the page.

Instant Trigger deduplication not working

Hi,At TeamworkIQ we’re creating our first Instant Trigger. This trigger is returning a set of items it fetches from our server. Each of the item returned has a uniq id property, but calling the webhook that triggers the zap more than one time will continue to run the next steps with all of the items in the result, it is not filtering out those that have been seen in a previous execution by the id.The perform operation of this trigger is actually shared with another Poll Trigger in our Integration, so we could test the same trigger in both Poll and Instant types, and receiving the same results.

Basic Auth - How to set the domain in bundle.authData and use in Triggers

Hi All,We are currently building an integration with Zapier. Our application uses Basic-Auth, and our clients have user-based domains/URL’s. We want to ensure that when the user completes authentication that the domain in the bundle is correct for that user and use it in our triggers and actions.As part of the authentication step, we have built an endpoint that is called to retrieve the correct domain for that user. Is it possible to use this domain in the bundle? This is the code we have for the authentication step const options = { url: 'https://xxxxxxxxxx/getdomain', method: 'GET', params: { username: bundle.authData.username, },};//The response is the domain for the user. We validate on our side and return the domain for the userreturn z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const responseData = response.json; // Concatenate the characters into a single string const clientDomain = Object.values(responseData).join(''); // Add the

Hi Zapier. I’m in the process of developing a Zapier integration, and have a small issue. Everytime I try to connect a new account (when building a test-zap) - I use this button “Connect a new account”: Then for a short period of time, this window appears: And if I’m already logged in, the window closes again!To fix this, I can create new accounts in Incognito window - but is it possilbe to set-up the oAuth flow so that it does auto-log in to the already connected account (so the button can work as intended)?
