Define dynamic input fields of one action from the output of an API Call

I am trying to define dynamic fields of an action with an API call. The output of the code has been defined with the following shcema: https://zapier.github.io/zapier-platform-schema/build/schema.html#fieldschemaFor Example: [    {      "label": "Middle Name",      "key": "MiddleName",      "required": false,      "type": "STRING"    }]I am referencing the input fields like below: body: {"records": ...bundle.inputData}While trying to test the API call using UI or ZAP, I am getting an error: Unable to get a value when looking for "key". Is it empty or missing?Am I missing some configuration? Is there any other way I can debug this error?

Dynamic / custom fields passing to the api

I am using input fields and dynamic fields. I have been used array of object into dynamic fields code like  var custom_fields=[{"key":"leadstest_cstm"},{"key":"leads_default_cstm"},{"key":"leads_default_currency_cstm"},{"key":"leads_default_numeric_cstm"},{"key":"lead_serial_cstm"},{"key":"offer_amount_cstm"},{"key":"pricelist_cstm"},{"key":"short_bio_cstm"}] The dynamic fields are displaying along with input fields when i creating zaps. The problem is when i going to “Send data” and click on the “Retest action” for testing the input data is passing to the api which i have mentioned into the API configuration code and saving to our crm application but custom field’s data is not saving i.e custom fields data is not passing to the api. consider the following sample code in api configuration: body: {     'apiSecret': bundle.authData.apiSecret,    'apiKey': bundle.authData.apiKey,        "request":{        'first_name':bundle.inputData.first_name,     'last_name':bundle.inputData.last_name

Does each trigger use a distinct webhook URL?

My app has multiple triggers that I want to be able to tell Zapier about, all via the REST hooks.Based on exploring the Platform UI, it seems that for each trigger, Zapier will subscribe to a different webhook. This means my app should have different REST hook subscription URLs, e.g. foobar.com/api/trigger-one and foobar.com/api/trigger-two, is that correct? Also that Zapier will provide a different webhook URL for each trigger, which my app will save and use depending on which trigger has triggered, correct?In other words, the specific trigger type is indicated by the REST hook subscription URLs themselves and the callback webhooks, as opposed to via a GET parameter or something inside the payload sent to the webhook, yes?

I have a Zapier that is using input fields and and a dynamic field that is pulling and gathering custom field data from an email marketing platform.Normally when I pass the information, I use the Key from the Input Fields.The Dynamic Field does not have one.Image of input fieldsI am also adding my code to pass the input fields that I have so far.

Get JSON from github repository

Hello!I’m looking for a solution, which will allow me to get configuration from JSON file that is committed to private github repository and perform some actions once it’s changed. Basically, I need to go following:if there’s a new commit to master branch then, download raw JSON file committed to current master branch if raw JSON has been changed since last zap execution, then, do some data-processing and use it in later steps. I’m currently stuck on step 2 - how can I make it work?

Zapier CLI testing

Hi,I am new to Zapier and try to make a Zapier CLI integration work.I have created an integration with Zapier UI, converted it with zapier convert, and I can successfully “zappier push” it back.However I have issues when doing “zapier test”:I receive a 401 error from my server when each unit test is runIn fact, it is normal, because the unit test passes “Authorization: Bearer {{bundle.authData.access_token}}” litterally, without replacing the access_token with its actual value And the session authentication (which should return an access_token from the email/password) is not even called from the tests.So I have 2 questions:how to manage the tests so that it uses a valid access_token? how to make sure that {{bundle.authData.access_token}} is replaced with its value?These are probably dummy questions, but I could not find any answer in the documentation. Many thanks!

Session Auth: How response from main auth url can be used to call access_token in Test url call?

Hi, I am creating a custom zapier integration.

I want to use the response returned, specifically access_token field from auth url response in the HTTP header of my Test API call. How can I use response from Auth url in Test API url?HTTP Header should be like this: Authorization: Bearer your-access_token-goes-hereWhat I did: Authorization: Bearer {{bundle.authData.sessionkey}}

OAuth2 access_token

Hello,I have a weird behaviour when I configure OAuth2 authentication to communicate with my app.Everything seems properly configured, but when I test the flow I get an error from my endpoint which says that I must be authenticated with OAuth2.The weird thing is that if I take the generated access_token from Zapier’s logs and I make the same call with postman I have no errors. However, when I replicate the behaviour in Zapier, with the dynamic access_token ({{bundle.authData.access_token}}), it doesn’t work.Any idea of why?Thanks!

Important update to the Developer Discussion category!update

As of today, August 13th of 2020, the Developer Discussion category will be exclusively for discussing integrations being built on the Zapier developer platform. We had previously allowed topics about Code and Webhook steps here, but those will (for now) be handled in Ask the Community.FAQsWhy are you changing things?This change is part of a larger endeavor to move some other developer resources into Community, from their current location in a Slack channel. We’re looking to remove any excess noise that’s not specifically about building integrations on our developer platform.Do I have to be a developer to post here?For right now, there are no specific requirements for you to have published, or even started, an integration on Zapier. It will likely just be the case that if you post here, that you’ve tried our developer platform.NOTE: In the not-so-distant future, we will make the Developer Discussion limited to community members who have the Developer role in our Community system (which

How resthook works

Hello!I am creating an app that stores contact information and more, but lets focus on contacts for the moment. I would like to when a new contact is added it sends a post request to zapier telling it that a new contact is added. It is “super” simple to do with polling(but drawbacks with polling) but now I have created or tried to create a rest hook.The thing is when i configure it in the platform and sets upp subscribe and unsubscribe etc and when I do a test request a subscription is added just like it should and it adds a targeturl that for now is a test url(provided by zapier).But when I create a zap out of it I get the link that i should save to my app?!. I thought that it was when created a zap with it, it would automatically create a subscription? Please help

Zapier.com is appending ?from_url incorrectly to outbound URLs that contain a hash

We currently have a Zapier App (screenshot attached). The issue lies in when a user clicks on the blue “Click here to learn more“ link in the New Participant Reward event.The issue: The webpage is naively appending a ?from_url URL parameter to the click, but hashes aren’t factored in. This ends up with a malformed URL, and the user isn’t directed to the appropriate anchor upon landing on the webpage. This is the original URL that we want users to go to:https://site.com#hashBut this is what Zapier is turning the URL into:https://site.com#hash?from_url=ANYTHING This is what we would expect Zapier to turn the URL into:https://site.com?from_url=ANYTHING#hashUnfortunately, this is an issue that I haven’t been able to make any sort of workarounds whatsoever (DNS, server-side, and third-party tool). Any thoughts, Zapier Dev team? Does this look like a bug? Thank you
