Authentication error on action for custom API for tracking UPS packages

I have created a new custom API to connect to the UPS API for tracking package delivery statuses.  I set up and was successful at getting a token with Basic Auth and the Client Credentials OAuth method.  Here’s the response I get from the Authentication within Zapier (with the client_id and access_token trimmed):{  "token_type": "Bearer",  "issued_at": "1662523536426",  "client_id": "2fkN……….",  "access_token": "eaWQi…...",  "scope": "",  "expires_in": "14399",  "refresh_count": "0",  "status": "approved"} I have set up an action to retrieve the tracking information according to the Tracking GET call from their documention.  However, I get the following error when I test an active tracking number I have: The app returned "Invalid Authentication Information.". When I look at the HTTP response, I can see it getting a token as part of the request, but it still is failing or not passing it.  I would appreciate any insights as to why this is not working. Other things I’ve tried before creat

Allow User To Map Fields Dynamic in a Action

I will try to explain what i’m trying to achieve. I have a software that have custom fields associated to a contact (meta data).Example:{   name: “John”   email: “john@j.com”,   meta: {      key1 : value    key2: value2     // the keys are not fixed   }  }I create an action called Create Contact.The problem is that this action is simple to map all fields that i know that exist.But I don’t find a way to make key1 , key2 etc There is any way i can in the Action Form create fields on demand based a API request ? I try to use dynamic fields but this seems to be a single field i need multiple fields can be 5 , can be 50. And I need a dynamic key for each value. On my software is easy for me to create a api request GET /custom-fields/zapierAnd get all keys. If someone can help that would be awesome.Thank you in advance.

How to change Zapier Node Version?

Zapier cli docs state that All Zapier CLI apps are run using Node.js v6.10.2.. Our app is built using the cli.Elsewhere in Zapier docs it states that The environment is vanilla node.js v4.3.2 which runs JavaScriptcorewalkingWe already did z.console.log('node version', process.version); from within the Zapier app so that we can see the node version where it is run. We retrieved this using zapier logs. The version logged is 4.3.2.

404 redirect after successful OAuth2

I am updating our Zapier integration to use OAuth2 instead of Basic authentication. I have everything working and the right tokens are getting sent. The only issue I have is after making the connection, the main zapier.com window gets redirected to a bad page (https://zapier.com/app/connections/null?hl=35362708) and the user gets an error page from Zapier404: Page Not FoundNot all who wander are lost...but you are.The connection is successfully created and it works fine, but the user is not ending up back on the integration page.I debugged this a little with dev tools and it looks like after the auth succeeds, Zapier is fetching some metadata from https://zapier.com/_next/data/app-management-f6cb506f0254d18a4bea6c95365584bbf77c0c37/app/connections/null.json?hl=35362708&serviceSlug=null and getting back {"notFound":true} If I change the ‘null.json’ to ‘myapp.json’ then it works fine (and that is the behavior I see with the older version of my integration)Is this maybe an issue becau

Integrate Zapier + Salesforce + RD Station

Hello,We have two different Business Units that use RD Station, and at the moment we're trying to unify Salesforce CRM in both companies. As an alternative to integrating the two tools, Zapier was used as middleware.My question is, when we hire a single plan at Zapier, like the Company 500k tasks/mo  can I recognize the actions of the two RD Station that I own in the different business units, or if I need to have a Zapier plan for each unit that uses RD? Tks!

skipThrowForStatus: true throws anyway (z.request)

I’m having a hard time testing the `z.request()` in combination with the `skipThrowForStatus: true` setting.My understanding from running on the Zapier platform is, that it does not throw an Error but returns the response instead.However running with `zapier test` the following code with the node platform (current zapier-platform-core@12.0.3): const results = await appTester(async (z, bundle) => { for (let step = 0; step < 100; step++) { console.log(step) /** @type {ZapierZRequestResponse} */ try { const response = await z.request({ url: `${bundle.authData.server}/api/endpoint/`, headers: {Authorization: `Token ${bundle.authData.api_token}`}, skipThrowForStatus: true, }) } catch (e) { const ee = e } } return null }, bundle)it always throws on a 4xx. But the reason to test here is to actually provoke the error and then handle it for which the HTTP response unfiltered

How to create 2 different line item group and putting it together? Array within Array using Input Designer or Code Mode.

Hi All, Does anybody know how to put a line item group within a line item? Here is the sample of the code that I need to duplicate in Developer Zapier, items: [ { item_number: 2, item_name: 'Delivery1', quantity: 1, unit_of_measure: 'pieces', unit_price: 100, net_price: 100, tax_breakdown: [{regime: 'VAT', rate: 27, amount: 27}] } ] Line “tax_breakdown” has another array. In a nutshell within Input Designer, I would need to create an array within an array. Is this possible? Or is this confusing? Thank you and appreciate the help!

At what point does Zapier hit the subscribe post URL we set

When you configure your API Request to use REST HookPolling, At what point does Zapier hit the subscribe post URL we set here? I noticed it was not hit throughout the whole process of creating, testing and publishing the Zap (Still in private mode/development mode) Trigger TypeREST HookSubscribeEnter the endpoint URL to create a new webhook subscription.UnsubscribeEnter the endpoint URL to remove a webhook subscription.Perform ListEnter the endpoint URL Zapier should check for recent items, to provide sample data in the Zap Editor. PerformThe perform function is called each time a new hook is received. Make any needed changes to the data before it's returned to the Zap. This is very confusing.

Data sent by triggering of a webhook is ignored when the pooling sample is set while testing the trigger.

Hello, I have made an inegration in zapier and it has 3 triggers. 2 triggers are used to load data for dynamic dropdowns and 3rd tigger is used to show that 2 dynamic dropdowns & REST hook to subscribe & unsubscribe. We were testing the trigger by invoking the webhook from our system and sending data in that webhook which data can be used to next action block.  While publishing the integration, we got the https://platform.zapier.com/docs/integration-checks-reference#D006 publishing task. To resolve it we added sample dummy data in the performList. But while testing the trigger we only get that dummy data which we added in performList, Even we invoked the webhook from our system with some more dynamic data, we are not getting that data in test this trigger which we want to use in next action block. Our requirement is we have to invoke the webhook from our system with dynamic data & use that data in the next action block. We have no mechanism like pooling sample and that’s wh

Session Auth Input Form not allowing Dynamic Fields

Hi,I am trying to include a Dynamic Field in the Session Auth Input Fields and included the function to be called in the fields under authentication.js. Now the zapier push --debug is giving me the following error { property: 'instance.authentication.fields[1]', message: 'is not of a type(s) object', schema: '/FieldSchema', instance: '$func$2$f$', name: 'type', argument: [ 'object' ], stack: 'instance.authentication.fields[1] is not of a type(s) object', codeLinks: [ 'https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/blob/zapier-platform-schema@12.0.3/packages/schema/lib/schemas/FieldSchema.js' ], docLinks: [ 'https://platform.zapier.com/cli_docs/schema#fieldschema@12.0.3' ] }Looks like Session Auth Authentication Input form uses FieldSchema rather than FieldorFunctionSchema.
