Trigger Order

According to the documentation listed hereTriggers are originally listed in the order you add them to your integration. As people use your integration, Zapier will show your integration’s most popular triggers first, automatically reordering them based on popularity. You cannot set a trigger to always be in a specific order in your integration’s trigger list. But Im seeing that on main page, the triggers appears apparently in alphabetic order.Example: During Make a Zap But on main Zapier page So my questions are:Is there a way to set an order using Zapier cli? Is there a way that the trigger order will be the same all over the app?

I am not receiving the POST data in the API

Hello everyone!I am doing an integration for my marketing company. Zapier is wonderful and I have not had any problems with the authentication and the creation of the triggers. The problem I have when performing the action is not working correctly.I have created an action of type "create" and in the field designer I have added a field of type string. When I configure everything in the API Configuration section and it is time to perform a test, the values created in the input designer do not arrive on my server. Only the GET data from the authentication arrives, but no trace of the POST data (input designer values).Does anyone know what the problem is and what the solution is?Thank you!

Pass data from trigger to action Zapier platform

Hi, I’m trying to build an integration from a couple of days using Zapier platform and I’m facing an issue which seems to be quite the basics but can’t figure it out after reading the docs. I’ve got my trigger working fine. I’m now creating the action.My trigger is polling Spotify’s API for new tracks released on a certain page. So I retrieved track ids. And I just want to get these ids and use them in my action. In this page from the docs https://platform.zapier.com/quickstart/build-action it’s saidAdd the input fields from the Input Designer tab. Select Dynamic Fields that pull in data from triggersIt seems to be what I want, but in https://platform.zapier.com/docs/input-designer it saysDynamic Fields make API calls to your app, then show the returned data in a dropdown menu so users can select the item needed, often used for folders, projects, assignees, and other data that would need to be chosen from your appI don’t need to make API call as it’s my trigger doing that, and I don’t

Calling an API method that returns an empty OK (200) or Bad Request (400)

Hi, Zapier allows Create and Search actions. But what about Do type actions? I have an API method that will be used at the end of a Zap (so does not need to pass anything to another action step).My API currently either returns an empty OK (200) or a BadRequest (400) with the error as a string.I currently get this:“Invalid API Response: - Got a non-object result, expected an object from create”How do I go about creating the action in the Zapier developer console re: dealing with the return result? I guess I have to switch to code mode but what would my code look like to deal with errors and OKs?My code currently looks like this:...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;  }); Thank you,Steve

Including node modules with grpc in CLI

Hi there, is there a way to include google cloud clients like @google-cloud/datastore and use them within zaps? I’ve tried adding the package normal and I get import errors in my zaps and also tried the --disable-dependency-detection and got the “build.zip is too big error”. The reason I want to use the official client is that the authentication is simpler for our internal stuff, but I can try using the raw http I guess.

Search action that returns one item

Hi,I have an API that returns the summary of a survey. As it is not going to create any data in the system I use the ‘Search’ option rather than the ‘Create’ option for the action type.But Zapier is expecting an array of objects to be returned and my API is just returning one. I don’t want to have to change my API to suit Zapier so can someone please tell me how I get Zapier to accept the single object?Thank you,Steve

How to achieve filtering effect similar to lodash differenceBy?

I’m looking to possibly achieve a similar effect through Zapier formatter or filter to what lodash does with differenceBy utility function.For example, having a trigger which comes with an object of following format:{ current: { labels: [{ id: '5f212d395422021ebc4b7041', slug: 'old-label-1' }, { id: '5f212d395422021ebc4b7042', slug: 'old-label-2' },{ id: '5f212d395422021ebc4b7043', slug: 'new-label' }] }, previous: { labels: [{ id: '5f212d395422021ebc4b7041', slug: 'old-label-1' }, { id: '5f212d395422021ebc4b7042', slug: 'old-label-2' }] }}The effect of running differenceBy on this data would look like:> _.differenceBy(data.current.labels, data.previous.labels, (i) => i.slug)[ { id: '5f212d395422021ebc4b7043', slug: 'new-label' } ]Would be awesome to achieve this through Zapier utilities otherwise I think the be

Second level data from Rest hook is not being passed to next task

Hi,I’ve just been using Zapier a few days.I’ve created a Rest hook trigger which is working mostly ok. Because most of my trigger data is dynamic i.e. there is a varying amount of properties and the property names are unknown I have left the “Define your output” as {} and not run the “Generate Output Field Definitions” in the trigger.And, I am just using a standard: return [bundle.cleanedRequest]; in the Perform part of the API definition.My data from the trigger is of the form:{                "responseId": "8545daa6-ee88-42c7-ad99-b4eb23ae9495",               "response": {                       "q1": "sadad"        }} I’ve created a Zap in another account which has two tasks: task one is the trigger itself and task two then tries to push some of the data from the trigger into a Google sheet. When I configure my Zap it is getting sample data correctly. When I map the Google sheet fields I can see my sample data. When I test it all of the sample data is pushed into the sheet. Now, when

Help Explain the Dedup Column?

Can someone further explain to me the dedup column? I have a google sheet being read as the trigger when a row is updated, and I have it writing to another google sheet as the action (all test stuff). I have set the Trigger column to something like ‘COL$H’, and its looking for cell data within a certain row like ‘Spreadsheet Row D’, the data in the row gets sent to the other google sheet when that data has been updated.Now the trigger only happens when the cell under ‘COL$H’ and Spreadsheet Row D is updated. Which is how I want it, since the zap would fire too many times otherwise. Can someone explain to me why that works? Why only changing the cell data in COL$H - Row D makes the trigger happen?

Can Zap users self-migrate their Zap to specific integration version?

I’m looking into integration maintenance over time and it’s not clear from the documentation if the end user of the Zap can upgrade their Zap themselves to use specific or “promoted” integration version?The scenario described in the migration of users shows how we as developers can automatically migrate users from one version to another. What I’m looking into is possibly leaving it up to the end user to decide and migrate themselves. Example usecase is following: new integration comes with additional fields in a trigger but to get those additional fields working the user would need to check if their self-hosted API is up to date (some work on user’s end).Thanks in advance!

How to get user input for an array of objects containing key-value pairs?

Hello!I have registered a development app relating to creating document metadata in our app (Mendeley) and am able to make simple requests to our POST endpoint.I.e., I accept a user input field called title and this successfully translates into a payload of {title”: “userinputhere”}So far so good.What I’m trying to do now is design the Zapier input such that the user is able to specify an array of objects with multiple attributes, specifically"authors": [ { "first_name": "userinputhere", "last_name": "userinputhere", }, { "first_name": "userinputhere", "last_name": "userinputhere", } ],Note that there may be any number of authors of a document, and the idea would be that a user could systematically identify author values to use with a pattern match step to extract author names from e.g. a formatted list of references in a text file.Well, as a non-developer here I am so stuck 😀A few questions:This doesn’t seem to be possible in the visual Input Designer
