Input Field of type Date in Dynamic Field

Hi,I am trying to add new field of type Date, where the customer gets to select the date from calendar. I see that there is an option to add ‘DateTime’ in input field. But my requirement is to do it in dynamic field, as I have to work on the code. I tried with type = Date or DateTime, but every time I get text field only. Here is sample of my dynamic field.[{ "key": "Name","label": "Name"},{"key": "Custom Date”,"label": “Due Date”,"type":"Date"} Is there any option to get solution to my requirement. Thanks in advance .

REST Hook Trigger Needs a Polling URL ->Solving by adding Perform list -> Now data is blank after the trigger is fired

Hello we need help with a strange case of data becoming blank when passed to an Action after we include Perform List end points.----- DETAILS ----We were in the last stages of setting up our Zaps and have had them successfully running with Rest Hooks (no Polling)This meant each time a zap was created you had to make a new event in our system (FoodStorm) but the workflow was working.Now as we go to submit it for review with Zapier we are addressing the Publish Task Error:REST Hook Trigger Needs a Polling URL“When users are setting up a hook-based (aka instant) Trigger, it's important to have a polling fallback. For example, imagine a Zap that triggers on a new Slack message. If testing relies on the sending of a webhook, the test won't complete without the user sending an actual message in a Slack channel, which is disruptive.”To solve this we have implemented the Perform list with some dummy data, in the same thread as herewith the same thinking there will be no data in the polling lis

Nesting Trigger Functions

I am working on a trigger where I need to pull data from two API end points. The first endpoint is a contact from a database that retrieves an email address, then to obtain the details for that contact (email) I need to use another end point. once is /Subscriber and the other is /Subsriber/ {email}/ Properties. I am wondering if I can use a variable to obtain all the data in one trigger, as I have is set up in separate triggers right now.  Here is the code for bothSubscriber:const options = { url: 'https://edapi.campaigner.com/v1/Subscribers?PageSize=1', method: 'GET', headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'X-API-KEY': bundle.authData.ApiKey }, params: { 'ApiKey': bundle.authData.ApiKey }};return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const result = z.JSON.parse(response.content); result.id = result.Items; return [result];});And Subscriber Propertiesconst options = { url: `https://edapi.campaigner.com/v1/Subscribers/${bundle.inputData.e

Building App Integration for Contact Form 7 WordPress

Good Afternoon Zapier Community,For the past few days I have been researching how to build my own app integration and have accrued some knowledge of the matter. My question is, Can I build my own app integration for WordPress so that I can use Contact Form 7 straight away instead of using webhooks and if so what it entails? Also if you have more resources on how to build your own app integration, please send them my way.

Usage of refresh-token functionality in session auth schema

I am building a Zapier integration wherein I need to have the functionality of refreshing the authentication tokens based on a refresh token provided and stored in bundle.authData.refresh_token at the beginning (the very first API call with username, password). I am using session auth as the same seems to be the best fit in my use case though I found out refresh_token functionality is supported with oauth2 but the same is not provided by the backend API for which I am building the Zapier integration.  The backend API is providing an AuthResponse JSON which is having access_token and refresh_token and it is expected from the backend to refresh access_tokens every 15 mins using the refresh_token provided in the beginning. I wrote code for authentication using the session-auth GitHub example by Zapier and added a trigger everything working fine the integration is passing all the tests too. But I know that the Zapier will not be able to poll for posts/ triggers subsequently as I need some

Where can I get help with Integration Setup (early stages)?

I am attempting to setup a new integration. I am in the process of testing the Authentication. Although I am able to successfully get a response from the auth, I cannot seem to parse the response correctly in order to complete the full test.I need to complete this before I build the remainder of the Integration.I have tried the basic forms with limited success. I have switched to CodeMode with varying degrees of results. (i.e. I have received results and errors that change in scope but no result has produced a successful test. )Contacting Zapier support has led me to the Monitor (which shows my errors in a different screen than before but is somewhat helpful) and various links to generic, unhelpful documentation.Is there a way to get direct help for building an integration? I’m sure this could be completed in 10 minutes if I had direct help.

API code to use zapier REST hook feature

Hi,I am totally new to webhook or Zapier. With the help of zapier documentations, I have working Triggers/Actions in the zapier platform, of type “Polling”. But now I want to use REST hook.My scenario/ requirement is:I have an project in ASP.NET Zero (angular + c#). In case there is any record add/update, I want to call an trigger in zapier (or trigger a zap). I tried to find existing documents for my basic requirement, but could not find anything related to server side changes. It would be great, if I can help regarding this.Thanks.

Dynamic field value not getting populated based on other input

I encountered an issue where a dynamic field is not getting populated because the inputData value that is passed as a parameter in the call does not give me the right value. The value is needed the retrieve the fields that are available for a specific form and are passed like this:zapier/leads/fields/create/' + bundle.inputData.form_id. I also tried it by rebuilding the route and giving the value as a parameter in the call, but that doesn’t work either. If I fill in the form_id manually it does retrieve the right values, but when I get a value from another zapier application like Google Sheets it returns the raw value like “{{125839611__COL$A}}”. I already read the topic here, where it says that it actually was a bug in zapier:However, this topic does not say whether a solution has been found or give a workaround for the problem. I just cannot imagine that this is just a bug we have to live with, because it’s actually the whole point of using dynamic fields I guess.. Can someone help m

Issues writing unit test for z.cursor

Hello,  I am trying to write a unit test on a trigger that calls z.cursor and the first issue I ran into was I need to set environment variables for ZAPIER_DEPLOY_KEY after doing that I get the following error: only absolute urls are supportedwhich is referring to z.cursor.get() . Im guessing this is due to the fact that the function is using relative pathing but I am unsure how to move forward. Is there a way to mock out this call so that the test can continue?zapier-platform-core@8.0.1

Webhook - Can payload be decrypted

Hello!I am not currently a Zapier customer but a potential integrator for our customers that use this service.We’re looking to possibly use a webhook to send some information, which could be sensitive in some cases. We were thinking of encrypting the JSON payload with a shared secret.With Zapier, would a customer receiving this encrypted payload be able to decrypt it in Zapier to then process that data how they wish?Thank you!

Issues with OAuth2 flow

Hi there, I’ve got some API documentation that I’m working with to get some OAuth2 set up. I’ve successfully got the application to go to the Authorize endpoint, where I can choose the scopes etc, but when I click confirm on the brand’s page, and I guess it’s making a POST to the Access Token endpoint I’m getting the result “Field named access_token not found in OAuth2 results”.Authorize: https://ads.XXXXXX.com/marketing_api/auth?app_id=XXX&state=xxx&scope=xxx&redirect_uri=xxx.Access Token: https://ads.XXXXXX.com/open_api/v1.2/oauth2/access_tokenTaking the auth_code from the URL when Zapier tells me the “Field named access_token not found in OAuth2 results”, I can curl the Access Token endpoint and get a valid token.I’m assuming that I’ve got something incorrectly configured, and I wonder if it’s down to the way that the brand is returning the authorization code? Any help welcome! Thank you in advance.

How to know that Search has returned no results, to then automatically call a Create action

I have a search function that I am using Custom code on.
