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":[]}

How to get the dynamic field data into the API Request

I have created a Dynamics Field in the Input designed the code is below. The result of this Dynamic field can return ~ 100 fields that can vary and not all values need to be filled in. I want to know how to get the field name that has a value included to pass into the body of the API call. My Code to build the Dynamic Field is the following and it successfully works.// Configure a request to an endpoint of your api that// returns custom field meta data for the authenticated// user. Don't forget to congigure authentication!const options = { url: 'https://{{APIcall}}', method: 'GET', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json', }, params: { }}return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const results = []; const fetchFields = (fieldArr, prefix) => { fieldArr.forEach(fieldInfo => { results.push({ 'key': prefix && prefix.length ?

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?

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. What am I missing here?const handleErrors = (response, z) => {  // Prevent `throwForStatus` from throwing for a certain status. if (response.status === 400) { response.skipThrowForStatus = true; throw new z.errors.Error(response.json.error.message, response.json.error.code, response.status); } else if (response.status === 404) { response.skipThrowForStatus = true; throw new z.errors.Error(response.json.error.message, response.json.error.code, response.status); }};authentication failed: Middleware should return an object.

When is subscribe rest hook fired inside an app?

Actually I am configuring a subscribe hook inside my app’s rest api settings. But everything is correct but I am not sure why its not being called when I enable a zap. All other hooks like auth, get data etc are working, but I want to subscribe when a zap is created, but that hook is not being called. Can any body let  me know when that ‘subscribe’ hook is being called in zap creation process?? Thanks
