Send/parse bundle.rawRequest fetched data from triggers to creates

Hello everyone,We are considering building an zapier integration(cli) and i’m currently building a demo app,but i’m stuck with the following problem:Our app uses API-KEY authentication and REST Hook trigger,but i when i send some data to the trigger via the webhookURL i want to extract a specific header from that  request which i can in the trigger: const perform = async (z, bundle) => {#how can i fetch here my desired http-header and parse it to the creates module ? bundle.rawRequest.headers[‘Http-My-Header’]return [bundle.rawRequest];}; but i don’t know how to parse that value to the creates section so that i can send back to my server ? Since its not a user input field i would like to avoid using the input fields for that .Thanks .

Is Zap right for me?

I'm a programming hobbiest and scientist and am looking for ways to analyze and manipulate tons of diverse data sets to better understand my world.  Can you help?  Or would the cost or difficulty be too high for someone without much time or money.

Zapier integration

Hello. I have a platform and I need to implement there Zapier. There are many users. Each user has their own account in my platform and the user should connect Zapier to his own account (in my platform). I have a question. Each user should create his own Zapier account or I need use One Zapier account for all users?

Help Needed: Zapier Not Triggering Greek Blog Posts from WPML

Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with my Zapier integration, and I hope someone here can help me out. I have a WordPress site that uses WPML (WordPress Multilingual Plugin) to manage multilingual content. I’ve set up a Zap in Zapier to trigger actions whenever a new blog post is published. The Zap works perfectly for English blog posts, but it’s not triggering for Greek or German blog posts. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or have any suggestions on what might be going wrong? Thanks in advance for your help!

How to handle multiple HTTP requests to callback URL

We’re using `z.generateCallbackUrl()` which works great in most cases.By default, the callback URL is called only once to notify our resource is ready.The problem is that our users can enable a feature, and it will send two HTTP requests to the callback URL, because two different resources are created that take a long time. (Yes, this is poor API design, but that’s not possible to change)For our action, I’m only interested in one of the HTTP requests, but I’m receiving the wrong HTTP request which doesn’t have the correct information to return to our users. Our ideal solution would be that `performResume` can be triggered multiple times, and we can tell Zapier to wait for the other HTTP request, and ignore the current one. Something like this imaginary code:```const performResume = async (z: ZObject, bundle: Bundle) => {  // determine if request is the one we are not interested in  if("some_property" in bundle.cleanedRequest) return z.ignorePerformResume();  // continue doing stuff}

How to make a Find-or-Create action that is useful in practice?

In my integration I’ve put a Find event, and a Create event, and linked them together to support Find-Or-Create.  But I’m struggling to see how to make that useful in practice, because of how it uses the same parameter data for both the Find and the Create.  I’m finding that I always want to use different parameters for the Find and Create.  Perhaps this is because the structure or behavior of my API is not as it ought to be.  I’d love to hear if any other devs have thoughts on this. Simplified example:My APIs are working with records that have a Reference and a Name.  The Reference is an immutable unique key, and the Name is a mutable data field.  However, the Name is mandatory - I can’t create a record without one, and my Create API will return an error if this is attempted.A typical use case would be to have a Zap that pulls these records from some other system, matching against my API by Reference, and telling my API to create or update the Name as appropriate.If the Zap does a Fin

Credentials from previous nodes?

I am planning to write a node.js node that will access HubSpot API and LeadSquared API. both of them have connectors with accounts and actions that have authenticated and are used in previous steps in that Zap. How can I find the HS and LQ access credentials from those previous nodes in the node.js node of that Zap, rather than hardcode them into the node.js node? Or is there a better solution? Thanks, Thomas

Zapier redirect URL for OAuth returns 404 on Zapier

Hi team, I am working on setting up a Zapier integration using the OAuth v2 flow.After the user is successfully logged in on our app then the app redirects the user back to the Zapier OAuth redirect url e.g https://zapier.com/dashboard/auth/oauth/return/XXXCLIAPI/. However when the user is redirected to the mentioned Zapier OAuth redirect url with the authorization code appended, it throws a 404 error when it tries to open the Zapier page. I noticed this does not happen when I sign in and authorize with other apps. I also confirmed the redirect URI is the same on my end and Zapier’s end. Is it possible i am forgetting to include something, or perhaps the URL provided by Zapier has an issue?

Delay Until Other Zaps process a specific record

Hey all, I’ve built out invoicing in Airtable and I use Zapier for some of the more complex automations. For our invoicing, the recipient can take one of three actions (i.e. trigger 1+ zaps) on a given Airtable record. The actions result in an updated invoice which is automatically emailed to them.We don’t expect the recipient to take these actions at the speed of light, but we wanted to test these actions as if we were in a hurry and to see if Airtable and Zapier would ‘keep up.’ They didn’t - usually it catches one or more of the changes but not all of them, and the last invoice received by the customer is incorrect.  IS IT POSSIBLE to delay a zap if other zaps are processing the same record? What are suggestions to navigate around this? THANK YOU!

Paginating results from a trigger

I’m trying to determine best practices when a user sets up a trigger. Instead of polling ALL records from our platform, shouldn’t we limit the query in some way? Perhaps limiting to new data since the last poll or at least the last 24 hours. I know Zapier de-duplicates based on ID. Here’s my code:const options = { url: `https://XXX/${bundle.authData.event_id}/sales-report?checkout_time[gt]=2000-01-01&per_page=2000`, method: 'GET', headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `XXXX` }, 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.data; const lists = results["data"].map((item) => { return { ...item, id: item["record_id"], }; }); return lists; });Shouldn’t I limit my 2000-01-01 to perhaps yesterday? Then, I can limit my per_page to 100 or so. Last

How can I connect numerous clients to modules like YouTube through OAuth2 via Zapier?

Hello everyone,I am reaching out because, as a company, we have developed an automatic video generation system for real estate agencies.We now have a growing number of clients, and up until now, we have been manually connecting our clients to the YouTube, Facebook Pages, Instagram for Business, and other modules. We connected our clients to our Zapier account, which allowed them to create a connection.However, with the increasing number of clients, this method is no longer manageable for us.Is there a way to connect all these clients through OAuth2, for example? We could send a link to our clients, allowing them to authorize Zapier to interact with their YouTube account, and then we could retrieve the necessary tokens from our account to integrate the client into our workflow.Thank you in advance for your feedback. We have heard about Zapier Developer; could this be a solution?Looking forward to your response,Company.
