How can I create a test account

To set up a test account for Zapier on my app, the process involves an OTP being sent to integration-testing@zapier.com. Here are two ways we could proceed:I can create the account for you, but you would need to share the OTP with me. Alternatively, you can set the password, and I can handle the next steps from there.Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Newb trying to connect Zapier to my Manychat and Chatgpt

Hello I am in Insurance sales more specifically Medicare insurance sales and I am exploring new options in the realm of automation to try to make my life a little easier. I currently use ChatGpt and have just signed up with ManyChats and Zapier by recommendation of ChatGpt. I am looking to utilize ManyChats and ChatGpt to help answer clients questions and was told that I needed a platform like Zapier to help with this process. I am really new to this but a fast  learner around tech, so just trying to get a better understanding of how I can connect the programs.

Issue with Zapier not updating Google Sheets spreadsheet list

I'm using Zapier AI Actions to create a "Google Sheets: Create Multiple Spreadsheet Rows" action. The first time I created this action, Zapier was able to correctly obtain the list of saved spreadsheets on my Google Sheets. But, after that, Zapier can't update any newly added or deleted spreadsheet from my Google Sheets.I've already tried to delete the action and make a new one, but once a get to the "Spreadsheet" field and choose "Set a specific value for this field" it shows the same outdated spreadsheet list as if I haven't added or delete file on my Google Sheet.I've just started to test Zapier because I need to automated a lot of tasks, but I won't be able start the paying plan if this persists.

Zapier Table "Find Records" AI Action Limiting Records

I’m working on an AI action to connect a Zapier table to ChatGPT to create, update, and find records from calls I have with customers as I log them.I log all new calls to an Account ID column in Zapier tables. This allows for me to just query for the account ID and get all records tied to it. The problem I’ve run into is that when I test the find records action, it always only finds 2 records.Using the new record and update record AI actions, I’m able to log information pretty smoothly. The only limitation seems to be the find records action. Screenshots of setup and example below.Anyone know how I can set up the action to ensure it finds and shares all records tied to my search criteria?

Trouble with Mattermost integration causing accounts to show expired

Hi, I have a Zap that posts to my self-hosted Mattermost 10.2.1 server. The Zap currently throws an error, likely due to a downrev version of the Mattermost integration in Zapier (1.9.0) however, when I attempt to upgrade the Mattermost integration in my Zap, any credentials I select immediately transition to “Expired” and Zapier requests I reconnect them.  The “reconnection” does not visibly fail, but after reconnection, the accounts are immediately marked as expired.  I have recreated the OAuth app in Mattermost, I know nothing is expired from my side, the oauth workflow succeeds, but I can’t seem to get a working Mattermost integration again.   What am I missing?  Is the integration simply broken with current versions of Mattermost?

ChatGPT can't analyze excel document from Zapier Interfaces Form

Hi there. I’ve created a Zapier Interfaces Form where people can upload excel documents. I simply want to give the uploaded excel file to ChatGPT, and ask ChatGPT a question about the contents of the Excel file. There doesn’t seem to be a way to get the excel sheet into ChatGPT via Zapier. And every workaround I’ve tried has failed so far. Is there a way to extract text from excel and pass it to chatgpt in order to read the content? Would appreciate if anyone knows a solutions! Cheers,Rob

Zapier Tables Optional Field Attribute

I have just started working with Zapier Tables. I am pulling input data from a dynamic Wufoo form. Is there a way to change the Field attribute from ‘Required’ to ‘Optional’. I will be using a standard form to populate the Zapier Table, but not all of the fields that I need will be provided by each person. For example, the form might be used by a Homeowner or a Tenant. So, the ‘Type’ of applicant field will need to be a ‘Required’ field, but the Landlord Name field should be an ‘Optional’ field because it won’t always have data in that field.I hope that makes sense!

Feature Request: Formatted Input Fields in Google Chrome Extension

I’ve been using the Zapier Chrome Extension for a variety of different Zaps over the past few years. I would love it if the input fields were formatted in the same way that fields in Interfaces and Tables are, i.e. “Short Text”, “Long Text”, “Email”, “True/False”, “Dropdown” etc. Right now the input fields are all just text.Would anyone else use this feature?

OAuth2 with Keycloak fails after 2nd RefreshAccessToken Call

Hello together, we are currently facing the problem that API access with new access token fails after token was refreshed the second time. For better testing we use very short timespan for the access token in Keycloak: The initial OAuth2 Flow /auth endpoint is triggered succcessfully and the first token retrieved also is accepted by our API.Then after 1 Minute (when the token expired) we get a 403 from API and trigger a RefreshAccessToken call with scope “offline_access”.This successfully returns a new token which is accepted by our API.Again, another minute later, our API returns 403 and RefreshAccessToken call is triggered.This time our API refuses the Token with 403 and Zapier Zap failed with “Please reconnect your account”.After debugging the Token from our API we noticed that this was an old token which expired already. It seems Zapier did not use the new access_token but reused the old one.Maybe I did somethring wrong in the code on how to return the new token (we use zapier-plat

How to insert and update records in an Excel spreadsheet using a chatbot

We need to preform 2 actions mainly in the spreadsheet1. Insert & updateIf it’s a new service, then we insert the record in the spreadsheet2. If it’s a modification to an existing service, then we need to find the service in the excel spreadsheet and then update itWe are not using Email as trigger point as it won’t be ideal method to do it. I can’t use webhooks since we get some changes in PDFs. I can’t use any third party except Microsoft Spreadsheet.
