Dictionary Inputs - UI/UX Improvement (Request)

How it Currently Works:----------------------------------------Zocuments API expects a dictionary for document merge data. In Zapier I've had to implement 2 input fields to associate dictionary keys (merge keys w/in the document template) and values (cells from a Google Sheet) to accomplish the build up of this dictionary.In the above screen shot, the Template Key Search input is populated by a Trigger so the user can copy/paste into the Template Merge Field Data key:User must copy/paste from Template Key Search into left-hand key side of Template Merge Field Data. And repeat the process for as many key/value pairs needed.This is somewhat cumbersome for the end-user to figure out, and requires lots of clicking/copying/pasting back and forth.Proposed Alternative:----------------------------------------I would like to propose the key side of the dictionary inputs can also be populated w/ a Trigger just like the value side isThis would reduce the number of inputs, drastically decreas

[FEATURE REQUEST] Simple Raw JSON Editor View

While the new editor looks nice, it doesn't seem to speed up any power-users, and the long-awaited "rearranging & duplicating of actions/paths" sounds like it isn't in the immediate future.Since you allow for import/export, and the file is pretty readable for anyone that is used to looking at JSON/basic coding, I was wondering if the team could build a super barebones editor view that you could flip to which would just show the raw code. You wouldn't need to invest tons of resources into allowing for debug functionality, that onus can be placed on the power-users.Spoke with someone on the product team about it and they thought it was a good idea and wouldn't add a ton of development efforts, while also appeasing many of your power-users' frustrations. Could something like this be feasible?Thanks!

Feature Idea

Hello can you make the "insert-button" Attached to the height of the screen? That it scrolls down with the code field. This would create a higher usabilty and give us much more speed. Thanks Sebastian

Polling quicker than 5 minutes

My client wishes to remove the ~5 minute delay from Quickbooks to Airtable via a Zap I have set up for them. I have two options as I see it: Option A. create my own application for Quickbooks Online on the Zapier platform, but from what I'm reading that would not shorten the 5 minute polling time. Option B create an app on the intuit/Quickbooks platform and have that call a webhook (in Zapier) each time an object is created/modified etc. My questions:Am I correct that polling triggers in an application I build for Zapier would still operate at the ~5 timeframe?Anyone have experience with using Webhooks from QBO to Zapier, any "gotchas" or heads up that I should know about?Thanks!

Using Line-items to loop through multiple emails in gmail search results

Hi there, I'm trying to clean up my inbox by using a push trigger (say I've been gone for a while and I want all emails from a certain list to be archived) so I've got the push trigger set up, and I add an action step for gmail to do a search, but on the edit template screen I notice this:Note: Only one email will be returned by the search.My goal is to have the emails return as line items, or for the rest of the zap to "fork" on those items so I can take action, like archiving the email or something like that. Outside of creating a new Zapier integration for gmail, is there another way to do this? I'll be digging into Apps Scripts as I've only ever used it with Sheets/Docs/Drive but I assume I can use it with gmail as well... just wanted to know if anyone here has a better/different idea?(I'm still going to trigger via a push/button/chrome extension, the call the Google Apps script which will return a comma separated list of IDs matching the sea
