sending trough JSON array to web hook

I have a webhook to trigger a custom app. This accesses an API and returns an JSON array now I want to use this (complete) JSON array to be send over to Filemaker making use of a post web hook the ‘problem’ is that even when I use the ‘raw’ data of the app , the JSON array gets ‘worked over’ by zapier, giving me only the values without the formatting . This produces 2 problems, i can’t use the individual item / results because of some NULL values of 1 field and because of a lot of ‘CR’ in another field Also the ‘raw’ data of results gives me no formatting like “ So I either need to change the output of the custom app (which I do not know how) or change the way zapier ‘works over’ the data so that I get the pure JSON array. I have thought about using a RAW web hook POST but I get stuck there. I use the manual from https://www.filemakerbloggen.se/post/filemaker-zapier/ so I create a POST web hook as a form, ( I need to use -db, -lay- and -new data fields) but also If I set this t

How to output a file from a Trigger

Hello, is it possible to output a file (csv, xlsx, json, XML) from Zapier trigger? I'm making an integration from a service, that calls Zapier through webhooks informing there's a file to fetch. In the perform function, I make an API call to get the document and I would like to output the result of that call. From what I can see, it looks like Trigger output should be a JSON. Is it possible to output for example a CSV file? If so, how? Right now, I try to stash the file and return just the URL in following way: (feeling it's not quite it) const file = z.dehydrateFile(() => { const req = z.request(options) const stash = z.stashFile(req) return stash})return [file] In the Test section I got following message:We could not find your function/array/object anywhere on your App definition.

Using personal datas

Hello! I’ve got wordpress site. I would like to create integration two wordpress plugins, which have a setting with API integration Zapier. Currently, in my country there is a law that requires that all personal data be stored only on the servers of the Russian Federation. Could you tell us how the exchange of data is arranged through your platform? Is data transferred from my site to your platform? If so, what encryption methods are used and what documents confirm the security of data use? Thank you. Best Regards, Alexey.

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

"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?

Zapier CLI app how to submit nested JSON?

Hi, guys! I have converted my app to Zapier CLI platform and trying to add new action using JS. But I have an issue with submitting the inputData to the server. The thing is that I’m using nested JSON structure that backed supports: { "custom_object": { "resource_id": 123, "resource_type": "Contact" }} Hence, my keys in inputFields looks like “custom_object__resource_id”, “custom_object__resource_type”. In the legacy actions, perform method looks like below and it turns __ into nested object: const perform = (z, bundle) => { return z.legacyScripting.run(bundle, 'create', 'update_section');}; But how should I write the new “perform” function to convert my keys “custom_object__resource_id” into the structure I need? Is there a helper method I can apply or something? When I simply do this: const perform = (z, bundle) => { const promise = z.request({ url: 'https://myapp.com/api/v1/sections', method: 'POST', body: bundle.inputData, headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' } });

An issue with OAuth2 refresh_token

Hi, I am having a problem with OAuth2. When the token expires Zapier requests a refresh using the refesh_token call to do that with the refresh token but does not send clientId or Client Secret. So our server (Kahootz) is rejecting the request. I read through the RFC6749 https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6749.txt and see that in section 6 it says: “The authorization server MUST: o require client authentication for confidential clients or for any client that was issued client credentials (or with other authentication requirements), o authenticate the client if client authentication is included and ensure that the refresh token was issued to the authenticated client, and o validate the refresh token.” Since I set up the Auth using a client secret I think that this means the client secret and clientId should also get passed in the refresh_token request. I also found the following page https://www.oauth.com/oauth2-servers/access-tokens/refreshing-access-tokens/ which says: “Client Authenticatio

What is Zapier sending me for subscribe resthook? (PHP)

Hello! I’m working in PHP and trying to set up a resthook for the subscribeHook method. I’ve got everything working great, and when Zapier hits my endpoint, it passes the API key correctly and creates a record in the database. The trouble is that the info I need (hook_url) is empty! Currently, I am expecting to find that information simply in the $_POST array as such: $this->subscription_model->add_subscription( 'zapier', 'product_added', $_POST['product_id'], $_POST['hook_url'] ); Here is the subscribe configuration: subscribe configurationDo I need to be grabbing this data differently? One problem is I am not sure how to inspect the contents of what is being sent. Thanks for any help you can offer!

How to display the webhook URL in a custom app "hook" trigger?

Hey everyone! So, in a custom Zapier integration hook trigger, is it possible to make it show the webhook URL in the UI instead of calling performSubscribe? A similar behavior can be seen in WooCommerce app triggers. I need this because in some APIs (like Dropbox), it isn't possible to subscribe a webhook programmatically which means that the user has to copy/paste the webhook URL manually in their app dashboard. Any ideas on how to achieve that? Thanks!

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

Trigger with no sample data

Imagine that I'm doing a integration of Zapier with a new account on my system. This means that there will be no sample data to be fetched. Just the sample data that I've placed at the Zapier Integration code. So, my current behaviour when Zapier looks for a sample data is to return an empty array. But this is showing an error at the UI. There is any way to force Zapier to use the sample data when there is no real data? Or, if I return the sample data, is Zapier smart enough to identify the sample data and avoid calling the test on the next steps?

Error message ENOTFOUND

While building my first Zap I have often got an error when trying to validate my user with OAuth. I have no idea why because sometimes it works and there seems to be no pattern to the failures. The error is reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND which a bit of googling reveals as a DNS error. What I don’t understand is why this would be intermittent. Does any have any ideas?

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
