OAuth 2.0: Acessing Client_id and Client_secret

Hi everyone, I’m doing integration on Zapier based on Oauth 2.0 but I cant get the client_id and secret_key. I generated a random string online and set it as client_id on environmental Variable...I’m having invalid_client when i process the request. So please I can I access them(Client ID and Client Secret) just like every other oauth 2 service provider

Best way to provide suggestions for text field

I’m currently developing a Zapier integration for Condens. I have a couple of fields that I load dynamically from our server and that accept multiple text values. These text values will in most cases by from a list of pre-defined values, but it’s also possible to add ones that aren’t on that list. I’m wondering how to best support that in the UI. If I set the choices property in the field spec to my list then it’s hard/impossible to select a value that isn’t on the list. Basically what I’m looking for is a way to show those item on the list as suggestions, but still allowing to select different ones. Any ideas?

Zapier hanging on 'loading' screen when creating a trigger or action

I’ve just uploaded a new version of our zapier integration. I’m now trying to create a new zap using our integration. When I try to setup an trigger or an action zapier hangs with a ‘loading’ message. This happens when using on of our integrations triggers but it also happens when setting up an action using zapiers built in ‘Send Outbound Email’. In both cases if I refresh the page the trigger or action form comes up and I can fill it out as expected. What is going on here? Edit: FYI I’ve tried an empty cache/hard reload in chrome dev tools. If it makes a difference I’m running linux with chrome Version 94.0.4606.81 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Change Workflow in Zapier

Hello, we are trying to modify our Zap actions to be more compatible with new workflow (as in it gets redirected to workflows.zapier.com). When we get to the step when there should be list of channels parsed from response of our server, we get empty list. This happens only on Safari, if user switches to Chrome, it gets shown as expected. Example as how we would want it is GDrive, where user chooses folders which should be watched during Connect GDrive step, but I am unable to replicate this and hopefully this would solve the issue mentioned before. Is this possible to do? How can we modify our Zaps to have different workflow in workflows.zapier.com? I was unable to find anything helpful in UI, so is this something needed in Zapier CLI? Best regards, Marek.

Invalid or malformed JWT using Auth0

I am in the process of creating some triggers for Zapier based off our existing API which is secured using JWT tokens and Auth0.com authentication. I have created my authentication and set it to OAuth2 flow, and entered my client id, secret, scopes, audience, along with setting the correct endpoints for authorization and access token request urls. I then enter the url of my API and attempt to try it. I then login using my credentials and the auth flow looks like it succeeds but the end result in a HTTP401 access denied from my API. I put some additional logging into the PAI to log out the Bearer token that is being submitted to it. The Bearer token ends up looking like this Bearer cPb_iBCYAIti3lZwR7Rl1RusafVV-ReA which is clearly not a Bearer token as its not three parts delimited by a period. In the call to our test api it has the Authorization header being set to the default of Bearer {{bundle.authData.access_token}} which looks like it should work as the call to the access token end

Referencing a field in test API call through computed fields in trigger url

I have created a computed field CurrentDivision in the Oauth2.0 “configure your Fields” section. In the Api test call, I added a field for my computed field because If you define computed fields in your integration, Zapier will check to make sure those fields exist when it runs the authentication test API call. .. but I get an error Zapier Error message Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Beta integration - number of users incorrect

We just published a new integration which is now available as beta and we are waiting for our user count to go to 50. However the user count seems to be lower than the number of users we know accessed the integration. Do users in a Zapier organisation count as separate users or are they counted as individual users?

Authentication: PKCE Challenge Fails Sometimes

My company is building a new integration and we typically use Okta via OAuth 2.0 Authorization Grant with PKCE for authentication. I was able to implement this with Zapier, however, I’m running into issues with the PKCE challenge itself. Sometimes, it works perfectly and I can log in, but other times it fails. I generate this challenge only once in the code, however, when I look at the logs the challenge being used in the initial authorize call does not match the challenge being compared to in the getAccessToken call, which obviously results in a failed authentication. It appears that it’s executing the code that generates the challenge twice and creating a new challenge in between these calls. I’ve tried to generate the challenge a multitude of ways from keeping it in the authentication file to moving it into the index file with a closure. Another thing that I’ve found interesting is that so far I haven’t seen it do this when running tests locally. It only seems to happen on the Zapie

Pre-publishing checklist. Is branding required?

Hello, I’ve been developing a Zapier Integration via the CLI over the past few weeks and we are getting close to submitting the Integration for review. As such I’m currently in the process of going over the Zapier Integration Review Guidelines and making sure that my team has completed all of the necessary steps prior to publishing. However, these guidelines state that prior to publishing we must: ensure all integration information and metadata is complete and accurate. Be sure to follow Zapier's standards for integration branding I’m not fully understanding where I can submit this information prior to submitting the Integration for review? When on the Integration development homepage, after clicking “Publish” the only App Details that I can enter are as follows: Do we need to add the information described in the Branding Guidelines prior to submission? And if so how can this be done when the Integration is developed via the CLI?
