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

Dynamic redirect and access url for oauth2

I am developing an app for use with my SaaS application that has multiple instances used by customers around the world.  The initially login to app.6clicks.io which then, based on their location, redirects to app-us.6clicks.io, app-uk.6clicks.io, app-au.6clicks.io.   We have an oauth2 identity provider which can be used with zapier no issue, but based on the different app locations and databases, need the redirect and access URL to be dynamically set (as well as then the api URL). What’s the best way to do this?

Trigger order of execution

Our integration uses rest hooks on our end to support triggers in Zapier for our customers, e.g, when X event happens, we `POST` some data to Zapier. Something we see happen rarely is that two events will happen within quick succession, we’ll `POST` both events in the order that they happened, but they then might be executed in a different order. Here’s an example scenario:Event A happens in our app and is `POST`ed to the customer’s Zap Event B happens in our app <5s later and is `POST`ed to the customer’s Zap Event B is processed by Zapier Event A is processed by ZapierThese events being processed in a non-chronological order can lead to old data overriding new data if both events pertain to the same record.My questions are:Are triggers guaranteed to be processed in the order they are received? If not, is it possible to specify an order of execution for triggers? Failing that, is there a suggested workaround? Thanks in advance!

Input field with type "file" only works if key is "file"

I have 2 input fields of the type “file”, the first one has the key “file” and the second one has a different key, something like “another_file” or “anotherFile”. When I set the same file from my Drive trigger as input in these fields it only works for the input field with the key “file”. See pictures.This test does work, First file field has key “file”.This test doesn’t work, Second file field has key “another_file”. When I’m using an url as input file they both work.

Does Zapier have an API for user data?

I clicked around the site and googled the issue, but I can’t seem to find a useful way to retrieve my own Zapier data. All I want to do is answer some basic questions: Which of my Zaps are active? How are they triggered? Last time they ran?

Dynamic field auto-select or leave blank

Hello,I have a small problem with a dynamic field.Even if it’s parent (the Event selector) changes, the old value remains stuck in the dynamic field (Tickets selector). I would like to auto-select the first available option or leave it blank (the dynamic filed → Tickets) after each change on it’s parent (Event). See my images below: Initial state: After the change: Option’s list populated, but the selected option is from a previous event: Can I auto-select it the first option after the change? Or clear the Ticket’s (dynamic field) value?

AppXYZ@1.0.0 could not be found

Hi everybody, I am having problem creating an oauth2 connection through the connection management screen (https://zapier.com/app/connections?page=0&search=&type=private) for the app I am building. When creating new Zaps to test my app, Oauth works perfectly fine, but if I try doing the same thing through connection management screen for the same app (same code, same backend, same flow), once the authentication window gets closed I receive the following error:Here is the partial output of zapier describe command: As you may have noticed, the application IDs are identical in the error message and the redirect URL above. I also confirm that I am redirecting to https://zapier.com/dashboard/auth/oauth/return/App131738CLIAPI/ on successful authentications.  I was wondering if it has anything to do with my application being private at the moment or there is something else that I might be missing? Thank you so much for your help in advance.

Use line item array as input data in app

I want to know if it is possible to use an array as input data in a input field. For instance my Facebook trigger returns the attachments array but only views the first iteration, so in my input fields I can only select the first image from the post. This is logical because if you would map multiple images and then upload a post with only 1 image there would be no input the other input fields. That’s why I want to use the entire attachments array as input so my code can take care of handling single or multiple images. Is this possible?

Differences between Integration Versions

Hi,is anybody here working with CLI ( Plugins? Apps? However you call them) and a backend with different versions?So given that the users of our integration are on version 1.x they should see field X,Y on their zap configuration form and users with version 2.x should see X,Y,Z..Is this even possible out of the box?I couldn’t find anything in the docs except a way to share a specific app version with friends,co-workers etc.. https://platform.zapier.com/cli_docs/docs#sharing-an-app-version But I guess that’s exactly what I’m needing for my case, but being done automatically by Zapier based on some version returned by the authentication probably?Also how would we or the users of the zap re-trigger the authentication check once they upgraded to 2.x ?

How does my web-app now trigger my integrations zaps?

I’m new to coding Zapier integrations so I am asking a very elementary question: how does my web-app initiate my rest-hook trigger? If that doesn’t make sense I’ll explain below the simple project I’ve setup and how my question fits into it.I’ve created an integration, it consists of one (rest-hook) trigger, its an exact copy of Zapiers demo project here: https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/tree/master/example-apps/rest-hooks I’ve deployed the integration to my account I’ve setup some API endpoints in my live web-app, ie, performSubscribe, performUnsubscribe, perform. For example; https://mywebapp.com/subscribe, https://mywebapp.com/unubscribe, https://mywebapp.com/perform   I then created a test zap - the zap’s trigger is my integration, the zap’s action creates a spreadsheet row in Google Sheets. My API subscribe endpoint (https://mywebapp.com/subscribe) never received anything. I thought that when someone creates a zap, the endpoint https://mywebapp.com/subscribe is called and

Sending data from the authentication form is not received in the API endpoint

Hello guru developers, after doing some research and my homework I get here to ask (beg) for help from you, maybe this could be simple but I'm not able to receive in my API the data submitted by the authentication form in my API endpoint.Maybe I don't understand well the data flow but as far as I could understand Zapier will post the fields I specify in the authentication form to the token exchange URL and I will be able to get the POST information and work with that to generate the token zapier will exchange. (I hope to be clear at this point)I'm doing exactly so, posting but the posted fields seem not to be going to the endpoint.this is my form: This is the endpoint configuration, what could be missing here?I tried filling headers, request body but no luck  in my API code, I validate if a post was received. if ($this->request->getMethod() === 'post') { $pUsername=$this->request->getPost('pUsername'); $pPassword=$this->request->get

Static sample, based on input fields

Hi Everyone,I have a trigger with a dynamic input dropdown. Based on the selected value of the dropdown the output of the trigger will change. performList perfectly returns sample data based on the selected input value, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to provide static samples. I tried to use a function with a static map, but as far as I can tell sample needs to be an object not a function: const sample = async (z, bundle) => { let samples = { "dropdown_value_1": {...}, "dropdown_value_2": {...} } return samples[bundle.inputData.selectedDropdownID];}; This is the validation error I’m getting when I use a function: App.triggers.activity_occurred.operation.sample │ is not of a type(s) objectYour integration is structurally invalid. Address concerns and run this command again.I was wondering how the trigger needs to provide static samples? Many ThanksAlex

App approval process by Zapier: Test vs Prod environment

Hello, I’m planning to submit my app for review. I have developed integration using test environment, we have production environment as well. Can we submit our app working on the test system and after review process, deploy integration into prod, can we change the connection parameters after? My policy is we cannot allow users to use zapier unless we get our app approved on zapier. Is it possible? and I want to know the right way of handling this kind of setup being reviewed.

Find Or Create Records Logic

Hi, we’re developing a custom integration for Zapier which implements a Find or Create User action with few fields ( name, email, field1 ).Depending on the used fields, our REST API endpoint will return one or more results, but it seems that Zapier will always take only the first item from the result set. I wasn’t able to find more information about this, is it meant to be always only one result or is there a way to iterate over all results?For example if I search by field=”test” I’ll get 10 Members and now I thought that I could use these 10 members for my next action, but it’s using always only the first item.

Zap Turned OFF after Token Expiry

Hello,I’m experiencing problems with a Zap, that I’ve created to test our integration.We are integrating our solutions in Zapier so that our users can make their own zaps. We’re using Oauth2 flows, and everything seems to be fine, the zaps are working after the user connects their account. The issues I’m facing is the following:After some time (10 hours in our case), the refresh token expires for real, like it can’t request new access token based on the refresh token and our identity provider is replying with a 400 Bad Request, since the refresh token is not good anymore. That triggers consecvent 400s which in the end, trigger the zap to be turned off.Since this is my first integration I might not understood exactly how things work, but isn’t this something expected with Oauth2? I feel like it’s normal, based on the configs of the auth server, to have the tokens expired after a while. I was expecting the user to receive a “Please reconnect your account” pop-up/email/notification, but a
