Can you refresh fields based on dynamic field selection?

Hello,I am building an action and I have two dynamic fields and the second one depends on the value selected in the first dynamic field to make the api call, i.e., the first field contains the teams available in the app and the second field should populate the team members for the the team selected in the first dynamic field. Is there a way to refresh the fields once a value for the first dynamic field has been selected?

Posting Custom Fields to an API that expects key/value pairs

I have an Action that posts data to my API for my SaaS app. We’ve recently added a Custom Fields feature to our app, in which our users can define the key and field label.I obviously can’t put the key into the integration because my integration needs to work for all client instances. So looking for advice on the best approach to handle this.Should I create a Dynamic Field? Seems like I would need a new API endpoint to look up the custom field keys.Or is their an easier way to do this where my users can map data from the Trigger to custom fields in the zap?

How to get additional rows in a dynamic field that calls an odata query API?

Hello,I am building an action and I have a dynamic field that is calling an odata api. The api sends back a limited set of data, i.e., gets all the persons in the app in batches. Since this is understandably a huge dataset, the api only returns a subset of persons data at a time.Is there a way to continue querying the odata api for the next batch as the user scrolls down the dynamic field until all the persons are retrieved or the user stops scrolling?

Code Storage Exceeeded Error when reconnecting an integration

We have a custom integration that we’ve been using for months without a problem until sometime over the past day or so.  It looks like the connection to our own servers expired, but when I try to reconnect it I’m getting this error: We hit an error adding your new accountauthentication failed: An error occurred (CodeStorageExceededException) when calling the CreateFunction operation: Code storage limit exceeded. I then added some code on our own servers and checked our internal server logs to see if Zapier was even hitting our servers and it doesn’t look like it’s hitting our servers at all and the error is occuring before it even hits our internal API.I’m tried editing the Integration and adding a new test trigger to troubleshoot but am getting constant Internal Server Error messages when I try to do anything when editing the Integration. Has anybody ever seen this error before/know how to resolve it or does anybody know if there’s a larger issue at play here?  Thanks!

Is it possible to automate logging into router and change VPN server?

This seems like almost an impossible thing to automate to me but I’m wondering if there is any way to automate or at least simplify the process of logging into my router to change the server that my router-installed VPN is connected to?  Some servers are better suited for certain tasks and I’m always switching.  I just wish there was a simpler way to do it. Thanks in advance.

What limits exist for how long a zap can take to complete?

I saw this thread:And there is a somewhat alarming statement:Your entire function only gets ~30 seconds to run.  There’s no way to control for extending that. I am working on a zap that needs to process a large list of elements. The zap would be triggered by a single event, which would then call an action to fetch a list, and then iterate over that list, and every page in that list. The size of the list could exceed 10,000 records. It is very likely that iterating over that list would take longer than 30 seconds. Something though doesn’t feel right to me about the above statement about 30 seconds. If I use delays and other mechanics, I could artificially force my zap to take longer than 30 seconds, forcing a failure every single time. @Zane can you clarify your statement about how long Zaps are allowed to run? And whether my use case above is achievable with the platform today?

Unable to fetch refresh token: invalid_grant.

What should happen when Zapier receives an ‘invalid_grant’ reply from the authorisation server when it asks to refresh token?  It seems to me that in my attempt at inegration it keeps asking using the same token and nothing ever gets reset.

Processing / Mapping REST Hook Payloads

Hi, I’m switching from using polling based integrations to REST hook ones. However there’s a few things the documentation for `zapier-platform-core` doesn’t make clear to me.With polling I can process the response data from my application before returning it to a Zap to reshape it, I’m wondering how best to do this with instant triggers? My application has a single set of endpoints for managing subscriptions, where hook can subscribe to one or more events, and will receive all events of those types within the user’s scope, the actual event payload is wrapped to aid processing multiple types: { "timestamp": "2021-11-16T16:29:00Z", // Event Timestamp "event": "resource.action", // The Event Type "organization": { // "id": "someid", // "Organization" represents the scope in which "name": "Some Name" // the event happened }, "payload": { /* object */ } // The "payload" object
