Best way to provide suggestions for text field

I’m currently developing a Zapier integration for Condens. I have a couple of fields that I load dynamically from our server and that accept multiple text values. These text values will in most cases by from a list of pre-defined values, but it’s also possible to add ones that aren’t on that list. I’m wondering how to best support that in the UI.If I set the choices property in the field spec to my list then it’s hard/impossible to select a value that isn’t on the list.Basically what I’m looking for is a way to show those item on the list as suggestions, but still allowing to select different ones. Any ideas?

Zapier hanging on 'loading' screen when creating a trigger or action

I’ve just uploaded a new version of our zapier integration.I’m now trying to create a new zap using our integration.When I try to setup an trigger or an action zapier hangs with a ‘loading’ message.This happens when using on of our integrations triggers but it also happens when setting up an action using zapiers built in ‘Send Outbound Email’.In both cases if I refresh the page the trigger or action form comes up and I can fill it out as expected. What is going on here? Edit: FYI I’ve tried an empty cache/hard reload in chrome dev tools. If it makes a difference I’m running linux with chrome Version 94.0.4606.81 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Change Workflow in Zapier

Hello, we are trying to modify our Zap actions to be more compatible with new workflow (as in it gets redirected to workflows.zapier.com). When we get to the step when there should be list of channels parsed from response of our server, we get empty list. This happens only on Safari, if user switches to Chrome, it gets shown as expected. Example as how we would want it is GDrive, where user chooses folders which should be watched during Connect GDrive step, but I am unable to replicate this and hopefully this would solve the issue mentioned before. Is this possible to do? How can we modify our Zaps to have different workflow in workflows.zapier.com? I was unable to find anything helpful in UI, so is this something needed in Zapier CLI? Best regards,Marek.

Help getting data from Quickbooks Online into my company's app

Hi. I’m a new developer and I’m in over my head. I’m hoping someone here in the Zapier community can help me.The company I started working for is integrating their application with two programs: Quickbooks Online and a whitelisted CRM. I’ve been tasked with building out this integration using Zapier.I was able to get outbound data transfer working, so when a new customer is created in our application, data is sent through Zapier and results in QBO and the CRM also adding copies of the new customer to their systems. I went through the process of setting up authentication (using sessions/Javascript Web Tokens), making sure data could be read from our API, sorting the data in reverse chronological order so that Zapier knew where the new data was, and built a trigger so that when a new customer is added in our app, two separate Zaps are triggered that send that customer’s info to QBO and to the CRM. That side is fine.Now, I’m working on the reverse, starting with QBO, and I’ve hit some roa

Following the link to the documentation it says the label string is being read as markdown and you should do it like this: Go to the [API Details](https://my.site.com/manage/api-details) screen from yourWebsite Dashboard to find your API Key. Can anyone explain why this aint workning when i type this in the label field: [Apikey can be generated here](https://mylink.com) Probably just missed something easy, but would appreciate the help.

Invalid or malformed JWT using Auth0

I am in the process of creating some triggers for Zapier based off our existing API which is secured using JWT tokens and Auth0.com authentication. I have created my authentication and set it to OAuth2 flow, and entered my client id, secret, scopes, audience, along with setting the correct endpoints for authorization and access token request urls. I then enter the url of my API and attempt to try it. I then login using my credentials and the auth flow looks like it succeeds but the end result in a HTTP401 access denied from my API. I put some additional logging into the PAI to log out the Bearer token that is being submitted to it. The Bearer token ends up looking like this Bearer cPb_iBCYAIti3lZwR7Rl1RusafVV-ReA which is clearly not a Bearer token as its not three parts delimited by a period.In the call to our test api it has the Authorization header being set to the default of Bearer {{bundle.authData.access_token}} which looks like it should work as the call to the access token endp

Authentication: PKCE Challenge Fails Sometimes

My company is building a new integration and we typically use Okta via OAuth 2.0 Authorization Grant with PKCE for authentication. I was able to implement this with Zapier, however, I’m running into issues with the PKCE challenge itself. Sometimes, it works perfectly and I can log in, but other times it fails.I generate this challenge only once in the code, however, when I look at the logs the challenge being used in the initial authorize call does not match the challenge being compared to in the getAccessToken call, which obviously results in a failed authentication. It appears that it’s executing the code that generates the challenge twice and creating a new challenge in between these calls.I’ve tried to generate the challenge a multitude of ways from keeping it in the authentication file to moving it into the index file with a closure.Another thing that I’ve found interesting is that so far I haven’t seen it do this when running tests locally. It only seems to happen on the Zapier U
