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

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. I have tried wrapping it in an array and not wrapping it in an array with the same results both times.Here is the error message it is giving.

Processing an array of contacts from a single CRM lead

Hi. I am building an integration workflow from a CRM (AmoCRM) into an email platform (UniSender) using Platform UI with Code Mode inserts. High-level issue: I am getting an array of contacts associated to the same lead. I need to process them all. My understanding is that it’s OK if I only see 1 contact in testing, in deployed Zaps each contact should generate its own task. However, my deployed Zap also only processes the first contact of the array. How can I have every contact in the array processed? Please help.Details. The workflow is as follows.  The lead status in CRM changes. CRM fires a webhook about this change with that lead’s id Zapier catches the webhook and asks CRM for id’s of contacts associated to the lead. There may be several, an array is returned. For each contact id Zapier gets contact data (firstname, lastname, email). This data is sent to UniSender (in theory, in practice I log the details to my Slack channel as a message for debugging). Here’s the testing of Step

Is there a way to do an HTTP request from within a Zap?

Zapier platform problem: Cannot make static dropdown with key value pairs

I'm building a connection on the Zapier platform, and I am trying to make a static dropdown with key-value pairs as per https://platform.zapier.com/docs/input-designer#keyvalue. It is not working1. The simple example of ["one", "two","three"] does work, but the key-value pair example on that page does not work, even without the suspicious backticks. This is the example: [ '{ “sample”: “1”, “value”: “1”, “label”: “Pork” }, { “sample”: “2”, “value”: “2”, “label”: “Fish” } ]`2. I'm not sure if the "sample" in the example is required and what purpose it serves.Thanks in advance!Charles

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?

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

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

Why is my api request retrieving an array successfully in the developer but it is not in Zapier?

I built out a Search api request in the Zapier Developer and was able to successfully return an array.When I built a zap using this information it returned the same data, but gave an error saying that the data was returned as an object rather than an array. I have attached photos of both the Developer Workspace and the zap error code.One thing to note is that in the developer I am not getting any logs in the bundle, http, or console sections of the Test Your API Request section.

Custom Quickbooks App

I am trying to create an Update Bill integration for our Quickbooks account since this is not included in the base Quickbooks app. I am running into issues when attempting to update line items in the bill. My main question is how does updating line items work? I created my app and have attempted to map fields from the trigger (New Bill) but when I map the existing line items to the app I have created, it doesn't look as what I would expect. For example, I would normally expect to see the array Line look like [{lineid, amount, billablestatus, markup},{lineid2, amount2, billablestatus2,markup2}...etc.] but it looks more like [{lineid,lineid2},{amount,amount2}...] which isn't correct. How do I get the line items to function like the first one? i.e. grouping the id with the amount, billablestatus, and markup?I have looked at all of the documentation and am still confused.

Setting Up a Testing Environment

When we get new requests for Zaps, I want to set up a Zap pointing to my test server before I create a Zap pointing to production. I do this by having two versions of my Zapier integrations (1.0.0 pointing to testing and 1.1.0 pointing to production). The problem is that users can see the 1.0.0 integrations that point to the test server. Furthermore, when I finish testing on 1.0.0, I have to essentially recreate the integrations on 1.1.0 which opens the door to mistyping something.Any tips or tricks that would allow me to create a test environment that would hide any integrations in development and promote my test environment to another version?
