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

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

Weird behavior while testing OAuth

Hey! Im trying to setup OAuthV2 for Zapier Authentication. But have not been able to test it within the console, when I click “Sign in to <your_integration_name>” a popup window opens and the resulting URL looks something like https://zapier.comhttps//localhost:3000/api/oauth/authorize?client_id=qJWKiVUN4zx8Ws1x3XzKTBmRownUD-FK&state=1596745737.868160554912&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fzapier.com%2Fdashboard%2Fauth%2Foauth%2Freturn%2FApp114171CLIAPI%2F&response_type=codeand the browser obviously complainsAny suggestion here? I already tried using a different domain like “mydomain.com” but the problems seems to rely on how the Console handles the popup thing

Zapier: Webservice to MySQL

Good afternoon,I need to know if Zapier allows me to consume the Web Service(Prestashop) to update data in an Oracle DB through an ERP of the client's local network.Likewise, if you can do a WebService in reverse, that is, when there is an update in an oracle table (Stock or Price), send the WebService and allow me to fill the MySQL table(in prestashop).Thank you very much for your attention and your prompt reply.

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

Zapier platform (GUI) - unable to fix T004 and T006 for a concrete trigger

Hi Zapier community! I’m trying to integrate our application into zapier platform - for now using the UI and not CLI The only remaining publishing tasks pending to fix is related with one concrete trigger and related with the errors T004 and T006.  Our application allows to create virtual meetings and record them. We have a trigger that provides the url of the recording of the meeting once the recording is available and we have tested it via zap, uploading that recording to youtube. We have created a successful task and tested live. So far so good. Nevertheless the publishing errors T004 and T006 does not go away (Polling Sample / Static Sample Contains a Subset of Keys from Live Result) The polling URL works ok, and same response data is populated into the sample data of the “define your output”.  This is an example of our polling data which is the same as the sample data (and same output fields) {   "content": {     "id": "123456",     "name": "Example Meeting",     "sequenceId": "45

Export code and rate limits

Is there a way to export app data code other than moving it to CLI? I am looking for a way to analyze and review the code in one place/format.    Also, can a developer create rate limits for zaps to keep the API traffic under control?   I appreciate the help!

Trigger API endpoint not updating

I’m creating my first Zapier app.  I was able to create a simple trigger which connects to an API endpoint of https://zapier.example.com/data I wanted to update the API endpoint to https://zapier.example.com/data/clickdata For some reason the API endpoint is not working.  I’ve tried deprecating my app version. I’ve tried deleting the trigger.  But I can see in my webserver logs that all the test connections are going to the old API endpoint. Am I missing something very simple?

Update trigger for Resource-based CLI integration

Currently our integration has a single trigger for when a new row is added to a Coda data table. Our users have sensibly asked for a trigger for when a given row is updated, as well. Our integration is built using the CLI, and we use Resources to define the endpoints for our entities. I don't currently see a way to create an update trigger using a Resource. Am I just missing something? Our "list" Row resource entry returns recent rows with unique ids. I would have expected that if we added a "get" entry and key it by id + updateTimestamp this would be sufficient to generate an update trigger. But it looks like "get"s are not used for triggers at all, and are merely used to do a followup fetch for entity details (there is no official documentation about what a "get" even does, I found this on StackOverflow). We could change the "list" entry to return items keyed by id + updateTimestamp, but that would cause this trigger to fire undesirably for users who only want actions for truly new

Zapier Static Dropdown Allows Multiple Sending only one value

I've built a Zapier App on Platform UI that calls a REST service on our domain. The app makes a GET request using a parameter name matchType that accepts a comma or semi-colon delimited array of values. i.e. "IND;HH" In the app, I've created an Input field with a Dropdown with "Allows Multiple" that maps to matchType and uses the following for the Dropdown Source. [{ "sample": "IND", "value": "IND", "label": "Individual - Match on first and last name and postal address" }, { "sample": "HH", "value": "HH", "label": "Household - Match on last name and postal address." } ] My issue is, regardless of how many options I select in the Dropdown, only the first choice makes it into the query string. What I'm expecting is multiple parameters concatenated with a comma because that seems to be what the Zapier documentation suggests. ex: matchtype=IND,HH Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to get the realmId from Quickbooks Online in Oauth2.0 flow

When setting up an app on the developer platform for Quickbooks Online I need to get one value that QBO gives in the Oauth2.0 flow but I cannot figure out a way to get this value.    So my Auth URL is set correctly as so: And when I authenticate via this flow intuit redirects back to my app url like so (I removed the values but the keys are the same) https://zapier.com/dashboard/auth/oauth/return/AppTTTTCLIAPI/?code=stuff&state=blue&realmId=xyz   NOTE: See the realmId=xyz at the end. That is the value I need. This is the ONLY time this value is given in the Oauth flow and there’s no API endpoint to request this value again.      This is basically happening where the red arrow is. it’s after the user goes to the Auth URL at intuit, and before Zapier calls the POST to the Access Token RequestTypically I would get the contents of a response to the Access Token Request though {{bundle.inputData.field}} or {{bundle.authData.field}} but since this realmId comes before the PO

Best process for transitioning from a Legacy app?

I have an integration set up using the Legacy Web Builder, and I want to transition that over to the new CLI platform. What’s the best way to do this? Is there a way to transition the existing users? I found this link which says a utility for migrating legacy web apps was coming “this year” and that was over a year ago. https://platform.zapier.com/news/introducing-zapier-platform-ui I can’t find any other info about that utility though.

Nested JSON in Action Step

This is the code that I’m using to call my API Endpoint:   And here’s the actual code: body: { "time_entry_sets": [ { "employee": { "account_id": bundle.inputData.account_id }, "start_date": bundle.inputData.Start_Date, "end_date": bundle.inputData.End_Date, "time_entries": bundle.inputData.time_entries } ] }   bundel.inputData.time_entries will have a JSON Array or Object passed to it like so: I used single quotes in here just to play it safe. Ideally I’d like to use the standard quotes but the platform escapes them.In code that JSON is:  [{'date': '2020-07-08', 'type': 'TIME', 'total': 18000000, 'pay_category': { 'id': 35122012 } }, {'date': '2020-07-09', 'type': 'TIME', 'total': 18000000, 'pay_category': { 'id': 35122012 } }]   My issue is that the Zapier Platform puts quotes around any variiable I put into the body JSON, in this case bundle.inputData.time_entries shouldn’t have a quote

Grab output from location header

I working on a Zapier connector that should add custommers and inovices to an ERP-system. It works fine, but to get to the next step where I can create invoices for a newly created cusomer, I need customerID in output from customer creation.  The API docs says:On successful POSTs/PUTs/PATCHs and DELETEs an empty body is returned. For successful POSTs/PUTs/PATCHs a Location header is given in all cases. From postman I read this header in return. It is the number in the circle I need to grab and use in further steps in Zapier. I’m stucked. Any suggestion how to do that?

Custom input fields with parameters from previous step

Hi,   At TeamworkIQ we’re trying to create an action which will have custom input fields. The inputFields will have two static fields and a function that will return a list of additional fields. This list will come from a request that includes the previous two values as ids in the Request URL.  We are trying to fill in the static fields with result data from a previous trigger that gives us the desired IDs, but trying to access bundle.inputData.process_no to get one ID returns {{82379216__process_id}}. Is there a way to access those actual values while building the Zap?
