Zapier Platform CLI Middleware is making my project 'Structurally Invalid'

I am utilizing the Zapier Platform CLI Tool to build out my integration with Sage Intacct. Currently, I am attempting to unit test the authentication, and am having some difficulties using the HTTP Middleware Zapier provides. I’ve been following the guides pretty closely (I’ve got like 15 github tabs open), but I am running into either 1 of 2 problems. authentication is undefined. Project is ‘Structurally Sound’. zapier test --debug can’t reference the authentication.js file from index.js. It is set up exactly the same as this example. Project doesn’t work at all. Code below: const { config: authentication, befores = [], afters = [],} = require('./authentication');module.exports = { version: require('./package.json').version, platformVersion: require('zapier-platform-core').version, authentication, //undefined /* Zapier Middleware */ beforeRequest: [...befores], afterResponse: [...afters],};   Project is ‘Structurally Invalid’. authentication references authentication.j

Outgoing webhooks security in Zapier

Hello,I have two kind of related questions, one is specific two webhooks security in general and the other about how Zapier triggers webhooks.1. I’ve read a lot about webhooks recently. Every piece of information I read points out that, for security reasons, it’s best to use shared secrets and sign the payload (usually with HMAC) when sending a webhook request. I don’t quite understand this hassle.Imagine I have a server side app. I want my app to receive a webhook from a different app (in other words, I want to subsribe to an event in a different app). So I create an URL in my app to accept the webhook. My app also has its own HTTP API that anyone authorized can call. Now the question. Why the webhook URL should have a different security appoach than any other API my app has? If the general API endpoints has authentication mechanism (let’s say with simple API key), why can’t the webhook URL use the same approach?Well, I understand it can actually. What I don’t understand is that why,

How to handle many new items between 2 Zaper requests

Hi everyone.Developing a zapier integraiton that consumes an GraphQl API, using cursor based pagination. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the following scenario, and I hope you can help clarify.Let’s say that the Zapier API sends a request every 15 minutes, and asks for a list of actions. The API responds with the latest 20 actions (i.e. page-size=20).Simple scenario - one new actionIn between 2 requests, a new action was returned by the API. Zapier correctly identifies this a new action, and the trigger fires away.Advanced scenario - 25 new actionsIn between 2 requests, 25 new actions are created. I somehow need to tell Zapier that we need to make another request. When I get the new response, I must inform Zapier that here we recognize an Id already processed. How is the above accomplished in Zapier?

Send body with GET using z.request

I'm making an integration for the intouch api in Zapier. For some reason, the API is set up to receive queries in the body of the GET requests, rather than in the parameters.This is all working in Postman but it seems that the z.request function ignores a body option attribute with GET requests.Here is my code:const test = (z, bundle) => { const query = { matterGuid: "bf508fcf-5f36-4191-93d6-fecd5a7f6a04", getFields: ["matter.reference"], }; return z.request({ method: "GET", url: baseUrl + "/matters", body: JSON.stringify(query), //I've tried body, json, raw, data, etc });};And here is the response I receive:{ status: 400, json: { message: 'No request data received', success: false, errors: [] }, data: { message: 'No request data received', success: false, errors: [] }, content: '{"message":"No request data received","success":false,"errors":[]}', request: { method: 'GET', headers: { 'user-agent': 'Zapier',

Recommended way, REST hooks vs pagination?

Using REST hooks. I looked at one of the Github repositories, and it seems like it’s not super active - are REST hooks preferred over polling or?Thanks for helping me out :)
