Triggering with multiple webhooks

HeyI’m trying to trigger multiple webhooks as above.I had 2 urls:https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/standard/9816288/21d88f57729a489ca7623b58ef05cc8a/https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/standard/9816288/52b0ff2ad1164579adb5807c37b444bb/ I combined both to one: https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/standard/9816288/21d88f57729a489ca7623b58ef05cc8a,52b0ff2ad1164579adb5807c37b444bb/ And it is not working, the trigger got ‘fired’ only if I send a webhook to the single hash, not the combined one. What should I do ?

Trigger with variable output fields

Hi!I’m trying to implement a trigger that would run when the user submits a form from our website. The form can have a variable number of fields. What is the best way to make these fields available as outputs of the trigger? It should be possible to:forward all the field key value pairs to another app in the next step (so that it would work correctly regardless of the number of fields) pick some fields to be used in next steps of the Zap (if something in the action step depends on the value)Outputing the key-value pairs as line items allows forwarding them in bulk, but I can’t find a way to select some specific key to use in the next step. Creating dynamic output fields would allow using a specific field’s value in the next step, but not forwarding all the fields in bulk.Is there a good way to set it up so that both ways would be possible?

Not sure how to test call to REST hook, documentation unclear

I’m trying to set up a REST Hook api request. I can trigger the hook, but nothing happens. Maybe something goes wrong in the payload. However, I can’t manage to debug this issue.  The documentation points to Step 2: Test your API Request and show this screenshot:Test API Request UI in documentationHowever in my UI I don’t get this interface, instead I see this: Hope someone can clarify how I can properly test a call to a Rest hook. Documentation is not very clear on that.

How much actually Triggers/Actions required for First Launch (5 or 2-3)?

hi,I’m planning to build an Integration for the First launch and checking this doc which stateshttps://platform.zapier.com/partners/lifecycle-planningWe recommend your Zapier integration have no more than 5 of each (trigger, action, or search) at first; we suggest starting with your most popular 2-3 use cases. so do I’ve to go with 5 triggers and then 5 actions and with 5 searches. or I can Launch the app with following points: 1- Triggers: we can go with Launch with (2 or 3) triggers2- Actions: we can go with Launch with (2 or 3) actions3- Searches: This is optional (we can skip in first Launch as this is an advanced)

How to paginate REST API for "Load More" in test triggers

Hey all,We have a Zapier trigger for “contract_signed”.When building a Zap, the test triggers are able to pull in 3 contracts as test data. However, as soon as one clicks “Load More”, an error, “We couldn’t find any more contracts” is thrown.  Taking a look at our Zapier app integration, we don’t have paging enabled for our trigger. So it looks like that might be the first step. The docs also mention that `bundle.meta.page` should be used.But where? In our Zapier scripting, we defined 2 functions for `get()` and plainGet()`We also have a variable defined as `var Zap` where we define `post_subscribe()`, `pre_unsubscribe()` and other get methods that utilize the 2 previously defined ‘get/plainGet’ methods. (e.g. `get_client: function(bundle) {return get("clients", bundle)}` Would we need to add the `bundle.meta.page` under our get/plainGet methods, like so?function get(resourceName, bundle) { var resource = z.JSON.parse(z.request({ method: 'GET', url: baseURL + '/' + res
