User Authentication accounts (OAUTH2)

What is the best way to go about making sure transactions are created by the actual end users creating them when calling API’s. We use the Zoho invoice and estimate API’s which have accounts setup via the out of the box API’s within zapier and also we have custom API’s configured with OAUTH2,  given that the OAUTH2 deals primarily with authorization and not user authentication every time we create an estimate or invoice via Zapier the created by user is stamped on the host application as the central account user that configured the connected account in Zapier.  Is there a way to set the users client credentials to be used with OAUTH2 so that when the API is physically called it recognises the transaction is being created by an actual user of the application or does this require a feature on the API side to handle this?

Instant Trigger deduplication not working

Hi,At TeamworkIQ we’re creating our first Instant Trigger. This trigger is returning a set of items it fetches from our server. Each of the item returned has a uniq id property, but calling the webhook that triggers the zap more than one time will continue to run the next steps with all of the items in the result, it is not filtering out those that have been seen in a previous execution by the id.The perform operation of this trigger is actually shared with another Poll Trigger in our Integration, so we could test the same trigger in both Poll and Instant types, and receiving the same results.

Instant Trigger Authentication is possible?

HiAt TeamworkIQ, we’d like to implement a security mechanism for the Webhook requests to be authenticated.Receive a secret as a response for the Subscribe operation that needs to be stored in the Zap context.Validate a header sent on each webhook request before triggering the zapIs it possible to store a property received on the subscribe request in the bundle object for the zap? Or any other place?CleanedRequest documentation mentions we could access the headers property, but trying to test this, I’ve only been able to get the body payload and a querystring property. Is it possible to have this validation on every webhook request received and accessing their header before proceeding to run the zap?

IP restriction error while connection Salesforce with Zapier

Hello Team,We are trying to connect Salesforce with Zapier, however, we are receiving the below error. In Salesforce, the user I am trying to login has IP restrictions. Hence, it would be great if you could provide us with the IP ranges used so that we can add the same to Salesforce and see if it works. Thank you!

Instant Trigger Zap turns off on every webhook request

Hi,I’m creating a simple demo of an Instant zap using the Recipe sample code for a Hook Trigger, and sending a Slack message as a second action. After the Zap is tested and turned on, every time I do a request to the Webhook URL the zap ends up turning off. The Zap editor doesn’t show any alert/error apart from showing the zap off. Testing both steps are ok.The Monitoring tool doesn’t show any error log, only the webhook request received. No additional information.Zap history doesn’t show any record of the zap running before it is turned off.I createda a “Zap turned off” alert, but the data provided doesn’t have any useful information apart from the time the zap was paused, again, editor, history and monitor doesn’t show any error logs. I am using the CLI to create this trigger, is there a way to get a log from there?

"We could not find a client" message On testing a unsubscribe trigger

 On sending the subscription request via postman, it returns the below response as expected. Now I want to setup the unsubscribe trigger in my Zapier intergration account but it is giving me the below message. Please advice. I got the following response on executing the webhook.{    "id": "e8940575-13ac-4d4f-9cb9-2e0ab6f6b256",    "request_id": "60005fd2-fa1b-455b-bc88-15bc7f7a00f0",    "attempt": "60005fd2-fa1b-455b-bc88-15bc7f7a00f0",    "status": "success"}I then used the “id” property from the above response as a parameter for the unsubscribe request like below. I then saved the API configuration and proceeded to the next step which is Test the API Request. On click of Test Trigger I got the below message. What does this indicate? Do I need to setup anything else in my Zapier Integration Account?  Can someone please adivce on how to fix this ? Thanks

How to edit label of a dynamic field

Hello, I’m building an integration and I have in an action a dynamic dropdown followed by another dropdown which values depends on the first one. In order to do the second dropdown, I used a dynamic field which returns the following : return z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const results = response.json; const field = { key : 'champ_type', choices: results.items.map(x => x['fieldId']) } return field;My problem is that I get a list of fieldId and I would like those items to have an understandable label ( in  my case, it’s fieldLabel instead of fieldId). Can someone help me with this ?  Thank you. :)

Polling : Get all data before looking for new entries / updates

Hello,I’m working on an integration and I would like to add the result of my API call to a Google spreadsheet and then check for new entries or updates. The problem is that when I setup the trigger I have to test it and that automatically adds the first element of my returned array to the spreadsheet. It means that it will only check for updates on this element instead of all the elements of the array returned by the API. Is there a way to add those elements to my spreadsheet ?  Thank you

Authentication: Combination of Session Auth and Basic Auth

Here’s an interesting Authentication approach.  This App requires a combination of Basic Auth and Session Auth.  Per the documentation https://api2docs.rfms.online/#auth-info-e78eadda-8135-40e5-8fa3-e24bfc70c0f8, the following must occur:Call the "Begin session" method (below) using HTTP Basic Auth to generate a session token. REQUEST URL: https://api.rfms.online/v2/session/begin Method: POST Basic Auth:  username:password (in base64) RESPONSE {     "storeId": "xxxxxx167b8",     "authorized": true,     "sessionToken": "rfmsapi-xxxxxxxf9a5d0590",     "sessionExpires": "Fri, 05 Feb 2021 12:25:27 GMT" } The session token can be used for a limited time. It will expire automatically but is extended each time a method is called.    The session token is sent with all API requests as the password using HTTP Basic Auth. User name should be set using the same user name you used in the first step. REQUEST URL: https://api.rfms.online/v2/customers Method: GET Basic Auth:  sessionToken:password (in

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,
