I keep getting the error "failed csrf"

Every action that I do any any of my custom integrations from the developer window I get the “failed csrf”. I have tried different browsers and computers with no luck. I have two different app integrations and I get the same error on anything I do in either app.

Integration Checks C001

The zapier CLI utility on zapier test shows in integration checks result the cd C001 for one of the results and links to https://platform.zapier.com/docs/integration-checks-reference#C001 .Unfortunately the documentation does not shed any light on this code C001 - what does it represent? Is it gone or is it new and not yet documented?

I built my app with a ‘Create Document’ action.In this I added an action field ‘Natura’ that I want to set up as a dropdown list.The list is something like this: { choices: [ { label: 'escluse ex art. 15', sample: 'N1', value: 'N1' }, { label: 'non soggette ad IVA ai sensi degli artt. da 7 a 7-septies del DPR 633/72', sample: 'N2.1', value: 'N2.1' }, { label: 'non soggette - altri casi', sample: 'N2.2', value: 'N2.2' }, { label: 'non imponibili - esportazioni', sample: 'N3.1', value: 'N3.1' }, { label: 'non imponibili - cessioni intracomunitarie', sample: 'N3.2', value: 'N3.2' }, { label: 'non imponibili - cessioni verso San Marino', sample: 'N3.3', value: 'N3.3' }, { label: 'non imponibili - operazioni assimilate alle cessioni all\'esportazione', sample: 'N3.4', value: 'N3.4' }, { label: 'non imponibili - a seguito di dichiarazioni d\'intento', sample: 'N3.5', value: 'N3.

Setting Up Authentication for Help Scout's Mailbox API 2.0

Hey, there! I am new to Zapier’s Developer platform and I’m not a developer myself. I have limited experience using API’s and only some basic/foundational knowledge surrounding APIs.Nonetheless, I’m looking to create a custom integration within Zapier for the purposes of getting some specific data not currently offered by the public Help Scout Zapier integration.I am at the stage of setting up OAuth v2 authentication.To best of my ability I have followed the Help Scout’s documentation for setting up authentication.Unfortunately I am getting the following error:“Cannot change state from 1610418296.483357210070 to {my_app_secret_here} - please remove it from authentication.oauth2Config.authorizeUrl” For Step 2, I successfully added the OAuth Redirect URL over in Help Scout!For Step 3, I have successfully copied over the Help Scout App ID and App Secret to Zapier’s Client ID and Client Secret fields!For Step 4, I have added the Authorization URL with my App ID and secret:https://secure.he

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?

When I connect a new account, it's already logged in

Hi Zapier. I’m in the process of developing a Zapier integration, and have a small issue. Everytime I try to connect a new account (when building a test-zap) - I use this button “Connect a new account”: Then for a short period of time, this window appears: And if I’m already logged in, the window closes again!To fix this, I can create new accounts in Incognito window - but is it possilbe to set-up the oAuth flow so that it does auto-log in to the already connected account (so the button can work as intended)?

REST Hook not performing action and apparently doesn't accept the data pushed to hookUrl? But no error message.

Some background: I have got everything set up to use REST Hooks except the last part.I have the subscription and delete subscription API endpoints set up and working.I receive the hookUrl parameter upon subscription.If I post to hookUrl without any data I get an action triggered (though with blank data, so no use there).The problem:If I post to hookUrl with data in the body of the request, the response still says OK but no action is triggered.  There must some error going on but I’m not being told about it. Can someone give me insight into exactly what my POST data should look like?  The documentation doesn’t quite say it.  It says an array, but I am providing an array in “body”, just like the array I was using previously for “polling” mode but still getting this silent error.

More than one level of nested data, is it possible?

I’m trying to configure my Zapier app to support sending a payload such as:{ "data": { "obj_id": { "text": "Foobar" } }}Looking at https://zapier.github.io/zapier-platform-schema/build/schema.html#fieldschema I figured the above would be possible by defining the following schema:{ "children": [ { "children": [ { "key": "text", "label": "Text", "type": "string" } ], "key": "obj_id", "label": "Object Title" } ], "key": "data", "label": "Data"}However, this doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas on whether what I’m trying to accomplish is possible?

Splitting text giving me more outputs

Hey everyone,So I formatted a line that comes in when someones registers for camp on shopify. I seperate with a “,” and only want the name of the camp. But using the split, it gives me two outputs. But, I only want the first. Even though I configure that step by asking only the first segment. When using the action ‘send to google sheet’ it still gives me both values (output 1 & 2) separated with a “,”. I don’t understand why this is happening.

How can I add user email on the authenticated account, "Connection Label" does not work ?

I’m working on developing a Zapier integration, and have a question regarding the “connection label”. I read through the docs here, but I can’t seem to get it to work (so it displays the users email). Currently I have this in the connection label:{{bundle.inputData["https://21risk.com/email"]}}I would expect this to display the email of the authenticated user, based on this response from my test API call:{ "https://21risk.com/email": "ab@21risk.com",} But I don’t see anything here:Did I misunderstand something from the documentation here?

It may or may not have completed successfully. The purpose of phatombuster is just to launch a phantom , after doing it takes couple of minutes to run and revert with scraped results. Is there a solution to prevent this error.Moreover, due to this errors my zaps keep turning off due to high error rate.

Using Application Passwords for Authentication to WordPress REST API

I have created a new app on Zapier and need to set authentication. Authentication will be to a users own WordPress website, using a username and application password combo. I therefore need to capture the users own WordPress URL via an input field, as well as their username and application password.Basic Auth works when I test but as I cannot define custom input fields, I can only authenticate against a pre-defined WordPress site - no good to me as users will have their own URL and website which they need to authenticate against.Which authentication method is best for me to use and display the required input fields (URL, Username, Password)? And then how do I put the username and password entries into the header so that WordPress recognises them and authenticates?

Recommended way, REST hooks vs pagination?

I’m developing a Zapier integration against an underlying Graphql API using cursor based pagination.What is the recommended way to build my triggers;Using polling, and implement some js code to “support” cursor based pagination - any links on how to do this? 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 :)

Can I use an external library when developing a Zapier integration?

Hi Zapier community. I’m developing a custom Zapier integration, and therefore also developing my a custom trigger.This trigger uses the “code mode”. Now I have to do some checks on the response body, to determine if the request was valid or invalid (because the underlying API is a Graphql API, it will always respond with status code 200).Can I for example require lodash to make this more easy?In general, what javascript runtime am I developing in here?
