Need a Titlecase Label is not going away!

To-dos that must be addressed before your integration can be included in the App Directory: I’m getting a warning to change the Titlecase but when I do, the warning doesn’t go away. I even had just one word in the field - capitalized - and still got the error.

Invalid API Response: - Got a result missing the "id" property

I’ve looked at the four responses on this issue but haven’t been able to get them to work. I’ve reviewed this GitHub entry and have a sense for what it wants me to do, but not how I should implement it. My polling trigger API is trying to substitite my “_id” for the expected “id” element. Much like the other four posts on this problem have suggested. const options = { url: 'https://app.hiro.fm/api/products', method: 'GET', headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${bundle.authData.token}` }, params: { }}return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const result = z.JSON.parse(response.content); result.id = result._id; return result; });/* Also tried this syntax but get the same error *//*return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const result = z.JSON.parse(response.content); return [{ ...result, id: result._id, },];});*/ My response array looks like this. See the _id I’m aiming

How to use OAUTH2 to authenticate to Push data to my App?

I want to build an Integration with Hiro.FM that allows Zapier users to ingest data into their Hiro account. I’ve spent a couple of days reading the Zap developer docs and feel a little overwhelmed. In order for a Zap to authenticate with HIRO, I presume HIRO needs to run an OAuth Provider.  I’ve been able to set this up and can exchange request tokens for access tokens. I’ve not been able  get this authentication working with the Zapier Dashbaord. My first question - How do I use the Zapier redirect URI in my code? My Express route looks like this, Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Allow zap user to input auth/api URL

Is there a way to allow zaps to define which URL to use for authentication and API calls? Using the app designer + env variables gives the “Only absolute URLs are supported” error, so I guess that’s out.

Why Search Action only return one value?

Hey! I created a search type action in my app, in this app, in API Configuration, i defined an API, the api will return an array that contains multiple records from db query, but every time when i run “Test your API Request” in step2,  in response, it only return one record. I’m wondering why? based on the description of API Endpoint, This Search request must return an array.   So what i expected in response should be an array, just like: [   {   k1:v1,   k2:v2   },   {   k1:v1,   k2:v2   } ]   But it returned to me an object:   {   k1:v1,   k2:v2   }

API Key authentication issue with accessing authData

Hey! I am trying to “upgrade” our Zapier integration, and when doing so I have been using the Form mode over the Code mode. Now for some reason my authentication fails when using the authentication in the other triggers which used to work. As you can see from the screenshot below, the authentication is successful: Testing authenticationHowever, when I use the same account and test a trigger to poll another similar resource I get this error:   Polling Trigger request failsI have no clue why this happens. It seems like it not able to access the token stored in bundle.authData, it should be able to right?

Support for XML in visual builder

Looking for help in parsing XML.  I am familiar with the CLI approach but came across the following https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/pull/211 which states "...request with XML response: Note that both before and after currently are only possible in CLI apps, but once zapier/zapier#39899 makes the Middleware tab public for all, this can also be used in visual builder apps." Has this been pushed into production?  If so How do I use it?

Sending multiple requests in perform function

I’m trying to collect data from multiple API calls in a single trigger. It works fine if I’m collecting data through one API request, but when I try collecting data through multiple requests, the perform function returns, without waiting for the requests to be completed. Am I doing something incorrectly, or is it that the perform function doesn’t allow sending multiple requests?

How to implement multi level account selection while creating a zap?

My requirement: I have a web app which collects leads. Whenever a need lead is created in my app, I push it to my Zap. From my Zap I was able to send an email to my Gmail account with lead info.    To fetch the lead info I defined my output fields, which looks something like this. { "name": "", "email": "", "mobile": ""} I was able to reference there fields in my email body.    I have a new requirement, users in my webapp have their own clients. When I select an account, I need to show the list of Clients of that user and they will select one Client to move ahead.  To achieve this I created a New Trigger to fetch the list of Clients linked to that user. Here is a screenshot of my Input Designer settings.   Here is the response when I call this Trigger. [ {"id": 123, "contact_name":"John"}, {"id": 456, "contact_name":"Smith"}, {"id": 789, "contact_name":"Roger"} ]   I was successfully able to fire the trigger after my account linking step.  In the final Zap, when I select my account,

Connection label based on OAuth token data

Hello! I’m trying to implement an integration, and I’m stuck on the Connection label (meaning, it doesn’t show up necessary information).   I’d like to extract data from JWT token I receive from OAuth provider and use it as the Connection label, but I found no documentation on this subject. Is it actually possible?   I think, requesting user additional information, in order to put it into the label, is clumsy, especially when we have params in tokens. Best regards, Alexander Mustafin

Subscription required for creating custom integrations with custom triggers

Hello, I am a new user currently on the basic free plan and I am wondering which subscription level would allow me to develop some custom integrations.  I built a nodejs app which I host in github and trigger on an aws ec2 cloud instance. I would like to develop integration with google sheet and google drive so that I can provide custom input to my app directly from the spreadsheet, and direct the output from the aws ec2 into google drive.  I was looking at this help article: https://platform.zapier.com/docs/triggers I do not have this UI available currently under the FREE subscription and so I cannot create custom triggers. Whenever I go to create a ZAP, the options available for me for triggers are already pre-populated. For example, if I want to trigger a file change on github whenever a field changes in a google sheet, I cannot do so, because the triggers and actions are limited: Which subscription do I need?  Is it the Starter, Professional, Team…?

Creating Action with nested data

I am working on developing an app with the regular builder and not CLI. I need to pass contact information from sources like forms or CRMs.    I can add the Action of add contact and use the API resource of Subscribers. I am able to pass the email, but nothing else.    I tries using the Line Item Group, like I did for Order Information (another Action), but there seems to be more nested data. I see Custom Fields, Field Name and Value.  Is there a way to do this without using CLI?   Here is the example API documentation:   POST https://edapi.campaigner.com/v1/Subscribers HTTP/1.1 ApiKey: 67c27802-f234-4196-b44c-460245d4978e Content-Type: application/json { "EmailAddress": "jason@example.net", "CustomFields": [ { "FieldName": "FirstName", "Value": "Bob" }, { "FieldName": "Age", "Value": "32" }, { "FieldName": "OtherDate", "Value": "6/13/2011" } ], "Publications": [ 1, 3 ]}

using the session-auth example's bundle.authData.sessionKey variable in other request's

Hello,    I was wondering how the bundle.authData.sessionKey variable is used in the session-auth example. Within the authentication.js there is the bundle with the fields username and API key to request the sesson key from an API ( getSessionKey() ) , then this variable is able to be used in a subsequent request ( includeSessionKeyHeader() ). how does this seperate bundle (that originally only had the API key and username) update to include the sessionKey? and subsequently how can this sessionKey variable be used in other scripts, like the recipe example, to parse the session key in the header of the request?

Can the Zap Name be passed in bundle sent with Subscribe

I am upgrading an App from legacy platform to new latest platform. In my original App the name of the Zap was passed in the bundle sent with Subscription. This was used stored in the target application to allow administrators to track and manage subscriptions. The new platform seems to only send the Zap ID. Is there a way to include the Zap Name and if not is this something you could add back in the future.   Legacy Bundle had Zap Name "bundle": {    "zap": {        "live": false,        "link": 'https://zapier.com/app/editor/89492508',        "name": 'My Test Zap',        "user": '',    },}   New Bundle does not appear to have name "bundle": {    "authData": {    },    "inputData": {    },    "inputDataRaw": {    },    "meta": {        "isLoadingSample": false,        "isFillingDynamicDropdown": false,        "isTestingAuth": false,        "isPopulatingDedupe": false,        "limit": -1,        "page": 0,        "zap": {            "id": 89492508        }    },    "targetUrl": "

Meaning of Publishing Errors - Needs Successful Task

Good morning, I’m experiencing some issues on the developer dashboard with the Publishing tasks. I am aware there are some outstanding issues being addressed in that section of the platform but do not believe this to be a duplicate. I have created successful Zaps for my triggers that perform the expected tests in the Zap Creation process as expected. When I return to the publishing tasks and re-run the validation, the validation process doesn’t seem to register my Zap has been created. For instance, I have created a trigger that returns a record set of types of sources. Then, I create a Zap that uses that trigger (get_lead_sources in this case). The Zap functions as expected. When I re-run the validation, I would expect the steps related to a Zap not being created to go away. Instead, I see the following screen:     Thanks in advance for any insights you may be able to provide.
