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.

Nested arrays are converted into strings

I have a simple nested array generated by a code action step (JS).const array = [['dog', 'cat'],['zebra', 'giraffe']];Now, I use a ‘Loop by Zapier’ step to loop through the top level arrays - but every iteration returns a string of the whole array:dog,cat,zebra,giraffe How do I get the actual subarrays in the loop? Basically I want to be able to use the following:First iteration:[‘dog’, ‘cat’]Second iteration:[‘zebra’, ‘giraffe’] Is this possible?

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

How do you clear the value of input filed when dependent field changes?

I have created 2 dynamic input fields, both populated from an API. Field 2 (channelId) is dependent on the choice in field 1 (appId). inputFields: [ { key: 'appId', label: 'App', required: true, type: 'text', helpText: 'Choose the App', dynamic: 'app.id.display_name', altersDynamicFields:true, }, { key: 'channelId', label: 'Channel', required: true, type: 'string', helpText: 'Choose the Channel', dynamic: 'channel.channel', }] This works fine the first time the user makes choices. However, if they choose both options, and then change field 1 (appId) it does not clear the selection in Field 2 (channelId) If you re open the menu, you see the new choices - so the perform is running in the resource,  but the previous selected value is not cleared- leaving an invalid selection. How do you ensure that the dependent field is cleared when the field that alters it is changed?

Oauth2 authentication: various errors

I am implementing an Oauth2 server on my side with PHP using OAuth2 - PHPLeaguehttps://oauth2.thephpleague.com/ Issue #01 I have configured email and password as Authentication Fields  Then I add them to the Authorization url so I can do validation and authentication on my oauth2 server.  This part is working, but I am wondering if I can send it through the header to avoid having to encode it in the url?, I have tried adding these parameters to the headers form, but after I save the header is removed. Not sure if I am missing a naming convention on headers params, Issue #02 I am not able to show an error in zapier when calling authorization endpoint. I have tried returning a PSR7 response and simple json response.   But I only see a white screen, what is the correct error response format? Issue #03 On the Authorization request I return the user id, but I also need to return other user info to use on the Connection Label.

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. I have set the option to “Enable Create if not found” Yet because I am using a custom code on the search I think zapier is not detecting that nothing has been found. How do I make search the function knows there are no results and therefore trigger the create? Here is my code:const options = { url: `${bundle.authData.url}/search/Candidate?query=email:${bundle.inputData.email}&fields=id&count=1`, method: 'GET', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${bundle.authData.access_token}` }, params: { }}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]; });Here are my results that come back when there are no results.  {"total":0,"count":0,"start":0,"data":[]}

Oauth2 authentication process - fields from user

I am using oauth2 authentication process in a custom api I am building.I see the in first step when configuring oauth2, Zapier allows you to define some fields in case you need to get some info form the user. I created 2 fields: email and user, hoping I can use them to validate the user when doing the authorization step, but I do not receive them in the request.Is it possible to use the info on this form or is this used in other step inside Zapier?

Sample "Test Trigger" Data: Use "live" test data or "real" dummy data?

We are in the process of building out an app for Zapier. We cannot decide which is the best practice in showing Test Trigger Data:Live Trigger Data: We have noticed that we can either pull the live trigger data IF the event was triggers right before building the ZapPros: it is a True test trigger, making the user feel they are successfully building the Zap correctly Con: If the user does not know they have to perform the event right before setting up the Zap, they will not get test trigger data and might think something is wrong with their Zap. OR “Real” data: we can always populate the trigger data with real data based on the end user’s account, but it might not be an event that triggered the data (for instance, imagine setting up a Google Sheet “new row added” trigger: If there is a row that already exists, we pull that data in to show as “test trigger” data) Pros: You (almost) always have “real” Trigger Test data that is directly from your account to use to continue to the Actions C

Use more fields from the selected dynamic dropdown object

Hey,I’m using the UI integration builder and I want to do the following:I have a trigger that fetches a list of objects similar to this one:[ { "id": "cc68c08d-67df-43a6-a6e3-3d35fdd6ee52", "code": "api-test", "hash": "iqbyqlzx", "eventId": "cc68c08d-67df-43a6-a6e3-3d35fdd6ee52", "event_section_id": 3819439 }, { "id": "7eb2bee3-372f-40e8-8e7a-b6e3e3bb4fca", "code": "809805", "hash": "gkc6wqtm", "eventId": "7eb2bee3-372f-40e8-8e7a-b6e3e3bb4fca", "event_section_id": 3820600 }]I’m using the trigger to power an action’s dynamic drop down menu. However, I can only use exactly one of these attributes to be accessible as an inputField in the action’s POST request.My question is - Can I somehow access these other object properties I fetched in the dynamic dropdown in the following POST request?If I can, what is the best way to do that?

Adding After afterResponse error handing breaks authentication

I’ve added the following error handling to the middleware using the ‘afterResponse’ property. This seemed to work for the validation of the action responses but it breaks the authentication which dies with the error below. If I take the ‘afterResponse’ property out authentication works.
