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.

Zapier webhook not working????

Hi there i have pretty much copied this video to the letter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIbSEa6KqYI but however i am getting this error “The app returned “ValidationError: Validation Failure”. This usually happens when your Zap is missing a required field or a field value isn’t in a recognized format.”i have followed the video to the letter and for no apparent reason i can see his is working and mine isnt.has any one any idea why this is happening

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.

Zap not sending static dropdown with Post request test

Hello, I'm having an issue where even though my static drop down is showing up for input, it doesn't get sent to my server while testing, I've attempted to search Google, the Zapier CLI docs, but I honestly have no clue what I'm looking for, and help would be greatly appreciated, here are screenshots:Options are available to be selected.Confirmation:What is sent(Note how "Profile" is missing):{ "fields": { "filename": "Test", "name": "Test" }, "files": { "file": { "size": 17, "path": "/tmp/upload_c6d773af96462ff0f9b6e52b4c497948", "name": ".eJwVjluSgyAQAO8y36IEDCqH2CtYiEOk5OHCZFNJKndf891d1f0Gu6Hd5x2foBW_igtXDdicCBPN9DwQNPxAAz5VMsni7FfQwzT2Ql1kA85jWOdk4tcr-HvHSqe9P0y5VdBvuJdwko3oqLrrXubwWNiKf8z5gLWtsjXRvHIyj9raHDsbPDuCIZdL7FQvBhxxYRKlY_3Ee2Zw4UwM0o1KTIsc-FmLSFs-t-CGBJ_PP6_DRCI:1j7NN

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?

How can I see some app version on dashbord

Can I somehow see app version which used for making zaps. Since users migration process could take a while - we need provide clients ability to see if they run the latest version of our app or yet previous one. It is quite important for closing issues and - reporting new ones if any.Thanks!Vasyl

Input field problem with children fields

Hi there,I have a problem with children fields output in create action event. In our system we have one field which is an object with three values so I have decided to use children for this. But when I want to add this field to request body I will get something strange from bundle.inputData. The 1st screenshot is log when input fields are created 2nd is UI of that field and 3rd is log from bundle.inputData. currency_id field and base_value should be pushed in that cf_multiple)currencies array and as you can see base_value is there. but the currency_id is not. Can somebody help me with this strange behavior? Currency_id field is dynamic dropdown. Can this be a problem?

Fetching whole input payload in my App's Action

Hello,I am looking forward to build my first Zapier app which will take input from any other app on Zapier and save the input to FireBase (FireStore) via API I will build.In the UI, I don't see a way to fetch the whole input (without field/data mappings) and send to my API.My question is that is there a way (in UI or CLI) to fetch the whole input payload (with all fields) and send that whole payload to my API as JSON?Thank you.

How do you add a custom message to the Connection Authentication Error dialog?

The error message below is fairly friendly. However, we'd like to (if possible), add our own message below the red and above the numbered bullets (or elsewhere) to say: ...Your API Key or Account Number were incorrect. Here's how to find the credentials you need https://help.teamworkiq.com/en/articles/3625469...

Have you been asked for APK of your app?

Hey guys - wondering if you can help. We have a new app in Zapier, it allows you to trigger your Zaps with NFC Tags. We've had a bunch of users (some of them you!) try it out, and it's looking/feeling good. Question is - we're currently going through the Zapier approval process to go public and it's also going seemingly well (Zapier has been in touch), but it's taking a while, and now this morning we've just been asked to send Zapier an APK of our app. Anyone got a clue as to why Zapier would ask for that? The app is free and downloadable on Android/iPhone. Seems a little out of the ordinary but perhaps I'm missing something. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance,Gem

Mindbody Private App

I'm stepping over my line of experience as I do regularly...Trying to build a private app for Mindbody Online (https://developers.mindbodyonline.com/PublicDocumentation/V6#authentication) but the authentication is killing me.Somebody told me he's also done it with Session Auth, but I'm fouling that up somehow. Pointers would be greatly appreciated, or if someone had time to do a video call for an hour or so, I'd gladly pay for you time.Thanks!

"Got a non-object result" error when testing a Zap

We are building our first app integration with Dynamic Fields, but are getting a "Got a non-object result" error message when testing the Zap that uses the integration...The app Action integration is set up like this...Notice that the "results" we return are the response.headers as a JSON String (see 2nd image below). That's because if we parse the response.headers first, when we test the below Zapier complains that we did not return a string (see 1st image below).We get an "[object Object]" is not a String ERROR if we parse the headers and return an OBJECT... We return a STRING... (the response.headers as JSON), we get no error on this step. BUT... in the Zap shown at the top of this post we get the "Got a non-object response' error.Thus one step requires us to return a STRING, then the next step demands an OBJECT.What are we conceptually missing? What are we doing wrong? What do we need to do do get this working?Thanks for your help!

Action output

Hello,I'm seeing a warning about missing action sample output for one of the actions I've created. I read in docs that actions should have some output data, however in this case, backend API doesn't return any data, so I'm wondering what to do about warning. Adding some dummy output doesn't seem right (as is adding piece of input data)... Thank you!

Does subscription_url include what option was selected in the trigger?

This is probably a dumb question, but I'm working on developing my first REST zap. I created a webhook that allows the user to select a landing page to monitor. How do I know which landing page they selected? I assume I am supposed to manage that on my end and then send the update to the hook when that landing page is updated?
