PerformList returns an array but still complains that it's not an array. Why?

Good day.  I’m trying to setup a REST hook and when testing my trigger I’m getting a weird error:With the applicatin/json response text from the API::[{"id":"1738"},{"id":"1739"}] Clearly the result is an array.  Any ideas would be much appreciated.  I’m sure I’m missing something simple somewhere (I’m using all of the defaults provided by Zapier).

How to process Action errors in a meaningful way

What is the proper way of handling or processing errors when defining an Action for an integration. Right now if the Action web-service call fails during Zap setup/creation there is only a cryptic message with an HTTP status code displayed. The nicely worded error message that is returned is not displayed to the user. I assume that I am doing something wrong in my API Request code. I would like to know how retrieve or extract the error message and where/how return it.  const options = { url: 'https://www.website.org/doaction', method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `api_key=${bundle.authData.api_key}` }, params: { }, body: create_update_data}return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const results = response.json; // You can do any parsing you need for results here before returning them return results;});

Is it possible to include a flag to indicate the data sent for an Action is just test/sample data?

When setting up a Zap, the Action must be tested which involves sending test/sample data to the destination. During zap setup this may be test, fake, or sample data. As far as I know, the destination has no way know to ignore this data. Is it possible to configure an extra piece of data or value, to include in the Action payload during Zap setup tests, to indicate that this is a test so that it would be possible for the destination system to tell that this is sample data and can be ignored?

Issue with OAuth2 Access Token Authorization

Hi, my organization has asked me to create an integration between Lazada API and Zapier. I found out that this can be made through Zapier Developer Platform. After exploring and testing if for a while, Lazada API use standard OAuth v2 for authentication. I have setup the Authentications for my Zapier app based on guidelines in the documentations. However, the Zapier cannot find access_token field in the Lazada API. I am new to this can someone help me with this? Here are my referenceshttps://platform.zapier.com/docs/oauthhttps://open.lazada.com/doc/doc.htm?spm=a2o9m.11193535.0.0.43fa38e4iOusvr#?nodeId=10434&docId=108260https://open.lazada.com/doc/api.htm?spm=a2o9m.11193494.0.0.64f1266b9KDL4n#/api?cid=11&path=/auth/token/create I would like to thank you for any help.

App Approval Process by Zapier

About the review time or process for an existing app.It seems that once you’ve submitted your app to Zapier, they will contact you within a week to start the review process. I do understand that this can take longer depending on the back and forth between myself and Zapier.My question is the review process when your app is already approved and you want to submit a new major version for approval. Does this also go through the same process as the first time? I assume it will as they will need to test the new Trigger/Action or API endpoint that was updated?The minor version (text update) can be updated and published and will be available in a few minutes / hours to your users?Thanks in advance,Have a lovely evening,

Beginner Question: Can you publish your app with only Triggers?

Hi there, I am new to Zapier and wanted to know. Is it possible to publish your app with only Triggers? The reason is that I only want to push information from my website to Zapier and then other web apps added in the Zap. I do not want to receive any new information (New Customer, etc) from other web apps yet.Unless I totally misunderstood what an Action is for. Because I understand it as.Triggers - push information to Zapier to be used by another web app (push new customer information)Action - receive information from Zapier that was pushed by the Triggered App (my app in this case to do something with that data - create a new row in google sheet with the customer) Sorry if I missed the information in the documentation. It seems that I do need an Action (to push data to my API to store the information) but I am not sure. Thanks in advance.

Possible Zapier bug?

Hi everyone,I’ve faced one issue several times and thought I’d share it with the community to see if it’s a known bug in the system or if I am doing something wrong.In a zap, the backend value for some mapping is generally denoted by {{numericalNumber_nameOfField}}. This value then gets translated to the real value.  Front-end value is: QW7PS022C0B90 Backend value is shown in highlighted portionIssue here is Zapier should’ve translated the backend value into the frond-end value and my search action would have worked fine. I think it's a bug? if it’s or not - please recommend a solution.

Use CloudKit Web Services' authentication flow in combination with Zapier

Hi all,I'm developing a Mac app that uses CloudKit as its back-end. Some of my users are requesting the ability to ingest and extract data via an automation/integration service such as Zapier. For this, I need to introduce a web API.I am planning to use CloudKit Web Services to access the app's data. This data is user-specific and hence, resides in a private database. As a result, CloudKit requires user authentication as described here.Essentially the user needs to be redirected to an Apple-hosted authentication page. After successful authentication, an authentication token is provided that can be used for data operations. Similar to how OAuth2 works, but different enough to not work with Zapier's (or probably any other similar services) supported authentication schemes.Who has done something similar? What are my options? I want to keep things as simple as possible and make my web API's implementation as thin as possible.Thanks.Niels

Trigger input that is a search

Hello, there!We want to create a hidden trigger that should select a user as an input. The trigger’s setup should be the following:first, select organization via a dropdown after that, search for a user (it should work only on the selected dropdown)And the final input that we want to work is the user itself. Unfortunatelly, I haven’t found a way to get that functionality. I have tried to create a hidden trigger that has a dynamic field for organization selection and a dynamic field for the user search. It worked fine, it gave back the list of the mathing users based on the search criteria. After that my next step would just to put that hidden trigger as a parameter of my other trigger. And with this embedded version, it didn’t even showed the inputs of the hidden trigger. As I have checked, it is possible to implement it (Trello has similar functionality), but I have no idea how could I implement it. Do you have any advice on that?Thanks, Zsolt

newbie - can I redirect the zap at completion to go back to another page on my website?

Hi I need to do more automation and link my website to my financials and calendar systems.   I have created and tested the first zap which I think will work.   the workflow is to access my calendar system (booklikeaboss), then payment (paypal) and invoice (xero).  I have done some basic zap creations and tests and all is good so far,  but the question is I think more basic.   as a last step of the zap, can I redirect the workflow back to a specific page within my website?

Add input fields dynamically after a dropdown selection

Hello, I am creating an integration for my compagny and I can’t figure out how to add input fields dynamically. I will illustrate my issue with an example :I have a first dropdown in which I can select a user  Depending on the user I selected, I have another dropdown with many fields like adress, name, date of birth, etc…. The idea is to be able to select as many fields as I want to edit into my second dropdown and generate dynamically one input field for each field selected to map it to a Google forms.  I am able to create the two dropdown but I see no information in the documentation on how I can implement the generation of input fields according to a selection ? Does anyone have an idea ? Is there any other solution ?  Thank you

Ordering Output fields

Same children fields in a different parent fields

I have a `create` with a fields structure like:inputFields: [ { key: 'parent1', children: [ { key: 'child1', label: 'Child1', type: 'string', }, { key: 'child2', label: 'Child2', type: 'string', }, ], }, { key: 'parent2', children: [ { key: 'child1', label: 'Child1', type: 'string', }, { key: 'child2', label: 'Child2', type: 'string', }, ], },]And in this case only the `parent2` group will be displayed in UI of the action.Isn’t it a bug in UI as parent keys are different?
