Webhook validation using secrets?

Hello Zapier dev community, I work at FullStory, where I am building a Zapier app to go along with our recently-released webhooks feature. To configure a webhook in FS, users are required to provide a secret value that our servers use to sign payloads before delivery, so it can be verified that they were indeed sent from us. While it is easy enough to have someone provide this as an input field in a zap, it results in a slightly awkward experience where they are asked to “customize” the object of the webhook (e.g. for a “Note Created” event, it says “Customize Note” when asking for the secret). And this is otherwise a bit of a clunky interruption to the normal flow of creating a zap. What I would really prefer is to be able to auto-generate this secret at subscribe time and store it somewhere in the bundle, so this process is opaque to users. But as far as I can tell, there is not any place in the bundle where this sort of thing could be arbitrarily stored, except by requiring it as an

webhook POST - JSON formatting problem

Hi There, creating the POST below of an order in postman works. {     "@priority": 1,     "Order": {         "Content": {             "CustomerReference": "test order nummer",             "Items": {                 "Item": [                     {                         "Sku": "1",                         "Quantity": 1                     },                 ]               } }     Now i try to replicate this in a Zapier WEBHOOK, but get 400 errors all the time, What am i don’t wrong? What is the syntax i need to use?   PAYLOAD TYPE: JSON @priority    1 Order_Content_CustomerReference    test order nummer     OR “@priority”.   1 “Order” “Content” “CustomerReference" test order number ????   I really don’t know anymore.   Does anyone have some insights about the formatting?   Kind regards Martijn

Publishing Tasks

Hello, I am trying to publish my app, but I am unable to do so because of the remaining Publishing Tasks: Action A needs a successful task Action B needs a successful task Full description of both tasks: One Successful Task for Each Trigger/Search/Action To ensure you have tested every visible trigger/search/action, there should be at least one successful task in at least one of the integration admin's task histories for each visible trigger/search/action (Error Code T001)   Both actions are successfully being used in Zaps created by other users - thus having successful tasks. Both actions are also successfully being used in Zaps created by me (the integration admin) - thus again having successful tasks.   Am I missing something here? How do I get these Publishing Tasks to register as completed so that I may publish my app?       Thanks in advance!

Subscription required for creating custom integrations with custom triggers

Hello, I am a new user currently on the basic free plan and I am wondering which subscription level would allow me to develop some custom integrations.  I built a nodejs app which I host in github and trigger on an aws ec2 cloud instance. I would like to develop integration with google sheet and google drive so that I can provide custom input to my app directly from the spreadsheet, and direct the output from the aws ec2 into google drive.  I was looking at this help article: https://platform.zapier.com/docs/triggers I do not have this UI available currently under the FREE subscription and so I cannot create custom triggers. Whenever I go to create a ZAP, the options available for me for triggers are already pre-populated. For example, if I want to trigger a file change on github whenever a field changes in a google sheet, I cannot do so, because the triggers and actions are limited: Which subscription do I need?  Is it the Starter, Professional, Team…?

OAuth 2.0 Token only authentication?

I am attempting to add my own API for the program of paylocity.    The documentation can be found here: https://docs.paylocity.com/weblink/guides/Paylocity_Web_Services_API/Paylocity_Web_Services_API.htm#section/Authorization   Where I am lost is that Zapier platform is requiring an authentication url. However, the url on the documentation for the Paylocity API it states that it uses the grant type of “client_credentials”.   I am able to successfully request a access token on Postman but when I enter all the same information on the Zapier platform, the required fields are throwing me off. Postman did not require an authentication url and the API documentation does not give me one.   Any advice?   Thanks

Invalid credentials expected behaviour

Hello, Sorry if this is a noob question. I am trying to authenticate using Session Auth, and I am testing different scenarios. What is the expected behaviour when the user enters an incorrect password?  I got this output from a mock endpoint that returns 401. Is this what the end user will see?    Thanks, Ian

Zapier Platform CLI - Trigger Hook

I’m trying to create webhook zap from Rest Hook site, this should be a simple app, the first thing I want to achieve is catching hook when a contact is created. Here is my gist for the trigger: Gist Trigger. performSubscribe is working and registered to hooks subscription on resthooks site performUnsubscribe also working, currently it will delete all subscribed hooks perform not catching any hooks after a contact is created performList is calling get contact list There are couple of things I want to ask but for now I think I need help with this first (get perform to work). Here is my private zap based on the issue above: Zap Invite. For testing purpose, I created another step after my zap which chain to webhook by zapier to make POST request to requestbin and it contains the data I want to see, sadly the trigger isn’t firing. But for unknown reason, when I make request via postman to zapier hook (bundle.targetUrl), it just works (shown in requestbin). below is the curl: curl --location

Is there away to create input fields for children fields in Zapier Developer?

I am trying to create a post request, but the api documentation requires two inputs (InvoiceId and Amount) that are within a subarray of an object.   (I am new to coding so my terminology may be off.)   I have attached a photo of what I am talking about.

Dropdown field in "Connect an Account" form

Hello :)   Im currently setting up a new integration and Im using Session Auth aside from username, password  and api_key, I also need the user to provide the country_code when creating a new connection, because we have different API for each country e.g au-api.domain.com for Australia us-api.domain.com for United States nz-api.domain.com for New Zealand uk-api.domain.com for United Kingdom The api url is being built dynamically based on the value of bundle.authData.country_code like   const options = { url: bundle.authData.country_code + '-api.domain.com/auth',   The Problem   when the user sets up a new connection, the country_code field shows up as a plain text field   our manager wants that field to be a dropdown which contains each of those countries (vs having to type manually the codes) I’ve been digging the documentation for quite sometime now, https://zapier.com/developer/documentation/v2/app-dev-guide/#authentication-configuration but cant find a way on how to make it a drop

How to disable a Zap integration from the client side?

I have created a Zapier CLI app. Everything is good. But I need to implement a feature that requires to turn off the zap automation of the user. Use case: Creates a Zapier workflow to create MY_CRM to MY_APP   - every time a new contact with a tag “Legend” is created on MY_CRM create a new entry on MY_APP   - when creating this workflow, user is asked to tell what “Folder” will be the new entry placed inside MY_APP. This is done using zapier dropdown(values taken from MY_APP). User deleted the “Folder” on MY_APP. A new contact with a tag “Legend” is created on MY_CRM. Zapier calls a webhook to create a new entry on “MY_APP” inside the deleted folder. This will throw an error. I want to handle it in a way that when an error is thrown on MY_APP, it creates a request to zapier to disable the automation. Because this automation will keep on failing because the folder is already deleted. Is there a Zapier endpoint I can call to disable this user automation?

"Search" steps with PracticePanther don't return results

My goal is to put company information in a google sheet each time an invoice is created with Practice Panther. Zapier has an option to search by contact name to return a contact, however providing names that I know to exist do not return any results. I think this is an error with either PracticePanther’s API or Zapiers integration with it. Any suggestions?

Error message: Cannot convert undefined or null value to object (throttled)

I am trying to create a post request that returns an array of gross pay items. I thought I did it correctly and it said that my request was successful, but seconds later I got this big red alert that said “Cannot convert undefined or null value to object (throttled).” I have attached the return code I am using and the model of the data it should be returning. I also attached a photo of the error message. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? Here is the Model of the data that should be returned. I am trying to pull in only the grossPayItems Array.Here is the code I am using to pull in the grossPayItems.

Update input fields programmatically

Hello,I'm working with the CLI version of Zapier and I have a question concerning the bundle.inputData.The scenario is as follows:I have a hidden trigger, that fetches a list of campaigns (id, title, token) that creates a dropdown for the the user to select the campaign where new contacts should be created in our app.I have a "contact create", that makes an API call creating new contacts in the selected campaign.The problem:The tokens, that are returned in (1) have a lifetime of one hour, so if they expire I have to fetch new tokens. Unfortunately this hidden trigger is only called once, that is when the user creates a new zap and selects the destination campaign.It it somehow possible to call that trigger from within my "contact create", so that I can update those tokens, if they are expired?Kind regards,Marko

Is there a way to handle line-item data in a Search Action?

I have a made a Search action on the Zapier Platform UI that sends a Post request for Payroll Period IDs to my application. The application holds this data as an array of line items containing the id, the technician name, and other pertinent information.Originally it would only return the first line item rather than the entire array. I was able to fix this (as pictured) by reformatting the data coming in as an array. Unfortunately, when I use the Search function in a zap, it still only returns the first value that it finds.My goal is to ultimately be able to Send a Post request to this API once a week on Tuesday and retrieve all of the Payroll Ids to use in an additional step. The additional step, however, presents data in the same way so it will run into the same exact problem.I am not sure if I am approaching this problem wrong, or if there is something that I could do to reformat the data coming in to work better with Zapier.All the best,Jacob
