Show full error on actin test

When I test an action or trigger within the zap creation page and it gives an error I only get to see the first 4 lines of the error. “What happened (You are seeing this because you are an admin): Stack trace: ResponseError: {"status":400,"headers":{"content-type":"application/json"},"content":"{\"success\":false,\"message\":\"An”This is useless for diagnosing the problem, One word of the error message is pointless.I’m currently struggling with validation errors, if I test the API in Postman I get the full error message.Is there any way I can expand the errro display to show me the full error rather than just the first 4 lines?

Webhook - Can payload be decrypted

Hello!I am not currently a Zapier customer but a potential integrator for our customers that use this service.We’re looking to possibly use a webhook to send some information, which could be sensitive in some cases. We were thinking of encrypting the JSON payload with a shared secret.With Zapier, would a customer receiving this encrypted payload be able to decrypt it in Zapier to then process that data how they wish?Thank you!

Issues with OAuth2 flow

Hi there, I’ve got some API documentation that I’m working with to get some OAuth2 set up. I’ve successfully got the application to go to the Authorize endpoint, where I can choose the scopes etc, but when I click confirm on the brand’s page, and I guess it’s making a POST to the Access Token endpoint I’m getting the result “Field named access_token not found in OAuth2 results”.Authorize: https://ads.XXXXXX.com/marketing_api/auth?app_id=XXX&state=xxx&scope=xxx&redirect_uri=xxx.Access Token: https://ads.XXXXXX.com/open_api/v1.2/oauth2/access_tokenTaking the auth_code from the URL when Zapier tells me the “Field named access_token not found in OAuth2 results”, I can curl the Access Token endpoint and get a valid token.I’m assuming that I’ve got something incorrectly configured, and I wonder if it’s down to the way that the brand is returning the authorization code? Any help welcome! Thank you in advance.

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. On the test endpoint I had no problems since I found an example w

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":[]}

Seeing app "version blocked" message

What would cause a zapier version to get locked?  We had an issue where environment settings were updated incorrectly, leading to errors.  When we tried to fix this, we noticed our zapier version has been locked.  This wasn’t done on our end (that we know of).  What are some reasons why a version would get locked in zapier?

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

Help modifying array/string before posting/patching

I have a three step zap for updating a client in our CRM, triggered if they open an email from a 3rd party application. I’ve successfully created the trigger (1) that finds the subscriber from the CRM (2) and returns an object, structured as following (omitting non-necessary data):{ "data": { "type": "prospect", "id": 1436, "attributes": { "tags": [ "California","C-Level","AZ","CIO","PST" ] } }}The 3rd step asks the user for a New Tag to add to “tags”, whereby I need to append the New Tag to the existing list of tags.I am successful in posting (patch in my case) to the API, but my data is malformed and ends up being one long string as a tag (literally, the tag at the CRM is “California, C-Level, AZ, CIO, PST, TestTag” instead of individual tags). Following is my current code…const newTags = bundle.inputData.tags + ',' + bundle.inputData.new_tag;const options = { url: `https://api.outreach.io/api

Developing a Zapier integration with a public API, how to skip authentication?

Hi! I am using a public API. It shows ingredients of products by searching their UPC. I seem to have everything sorted out correctly other than the authentication part. To search by UPC on the website, it does not require a log in. How would I handle the authentication aspect of creating a zap with an API? Willing to provide any info needed to get this sorted out as it would help a LOT. Thanks!! (:

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?
