Best way to display a key value pair input using a dynamic field.

My API requires an input similar to this. { [ { "dataType": "uint8", "value": "255" }, { "dataType": "uint16", "value": "1234" }, { "dataType": "uint8[]", "value": "["255","254"]" } ]}We are mapping a data type to a value. Using a Dynamic input type i have generated this type of UI which requires the user to declare all the types in one item area and then separately declare all the values which is not ideal. Is there a way that i can group the key and value together and allow multiple inputs?

Fields in zaps

Hi,We are developing an integration for Zapier. It's a CRM. We are implementing the 'add contact' action.A contact in our CRM has, by default, four fields: contact_id, contact_first_name, contact_last_name and contact_email.None are required, so we're adding all four in the form editor.Our clients can customize contacts with new fields specific to their companies.We cannot know them at this time. Will our customers be able to add new fields when using this integration in a Zap?For example, our client has added the 'country' field to their contact. Will our client be able to add the country field when creating a zap even though it is not defined in our integration?Thank you

Show dynamic fields via API based on selected value

I am building an app in Zapier GUI,First I will show a dynamic dropdown and user will select a template from the list.Second I will use the selected value to make an API call to get the fields. Please note that each templates have different field types and more than 5 fields. Eg: User select the Real Estate Template. We will call the API with selected Real Estate Template ID to get the fields. This template have different fields such as Text, Select, TextArea, Boolean ect. I’ve gone through many articles here but none of them helpful.

Testing API polling based triggers

Hey Zapier team, I can see the “Test” step in API polling based triggers basically tries to poll for recent records from the endpoint defined in `perform` step. Its easy and simple when the API returns the records matching the output fields as defined. As it gives the user a confidence in how the data might look like. Consider this case: The user selects an input choice from dynamic dropdown. Say ‘UserID’ : ‘123’.  My perform setup is an API call to say GET  ‘booksRead/user?UserID=123’. Query parameter populated from bundle data. The API returns a response like {currentlyReading: {}, userDetails: {id: 123,isLoggedIn: true, isAdmin: false} }, currentlyReading this value gets updated whenever the user picks up a book to read.  So, zapier polls for change in the response and hence a change in currentlyReading every certain interval, and whenever there is a change, say userID:123 picked up ‘ZapierGuide’ to read, I make the perform return a composite object something like this: { user: {

How do I refer to an external asset?

I’m building an integration that will merge data into a (presumably static) template, and I’m trying to figure out how to let the user point my app to the template.  I’ve considered these approaches: When the user configures my action, he clicks an Upload Template input field, which opens a standard file dialog and lets him upload a local file.  The Zap stores this file and makes it available to my code as some dehydrated reference.  Unfortunately an inputField of type “file” doesn’t open such a dialog, so this doesn’t seem to work.   The input field instead says “Choose Template” and provides a way for the user to select a file from Google Drive or whatever other Connections he has configured in Zapier.  Unfortunately the input widget offers Google Drive only when the Zap uses it as a trigger or a prior action; simply having set up a Connection isn’t enough.  Even if he adds an action he wouldn’t otherwise need, this seems an ugly workaround.   The input field is instead a string fiel

How to use async/wait to allow multiple, synchronous, API calls in the authorization test area of a custome app?

I tried this methold here as i need to make muiltple API calls in the test section of the Auothorization area in a custom app. However…1.  When I create a new connection the two api calls run twice or duplicate themselves but when then hit the test connection after the initial authenticaton has taken place they run just once each. How do I prevent the duplicate calls when a user is making a new connection?2.  As soon as i introduce multiple calls the meta data stops saving to the connection as a label for the connection? How do you fix this?Zapier also flags the provided code in in the from post below as missing before statments on line 24,26, and 33 in their editor so not sure if that is an issue?Tried both of these approaches below. Any advice appreciated.

Custom Validation Function for Input fields in Dynamic Dropdowns

Hey team, As seen in the image below, say I have a field XYZ and its set to required, if I do not select a value for this field, it shows a error message in red text describing the issue. Is it possible to write my own input validation function, say checkIfAllowed [which could possibly be an API call]? The flow will look something like: 1. I select some option for the input field XYZ, this function should execute and depending on the result, an error message can be shown to the user, say “Not allowed”. Or in positive case, the rest of the dropdown should show. I see I can use altersDynamicFields  for dynamically updating the rest of the dropdown. Can I in any way show a custom error message if the validation fails? Thanks

How to Abstract multiple Sequential and ASync APIs (Each api need 5-6 minutes)

I am trying to create a zap to abstract multiple sequential api calls.The API Flow -Trigger External API-1, Wait for it to complete (might take 5 minutes), API-1 finishes Trigger the API-2 (with some data from API-1 response), wait for API-2 to finish Trigger the API-3 (with some data from API-2 response), wait for API-3 to finish Trigger the API-4 (with some data from API-3 response), wait for API-4 to finish We now have final response, and should return the response.Question:I know about webhook and polling can help me for waiting for ONE api. But it looks like I can handle only one waiting operation, and cannot do it for the multiple such waiting operations Is it feasible to do inside zapier (when I am trying to create the zap using CLI), as a single zap.

Zapier handle the ability for the Chatbot to remember up to 1MB of data and use it in conversation? :O

From time to time, I engage in creating chatbots for my clients based on ChatGpt. I've used Chatfuel, where you can provide the model with information not exceeding 12,000 tokens, based on which the chatbot responds. Meanwhile, Zapier in zapier interfaces has a chatbot that can use a data file that can total up to 1MB! Wow!As we know, ChatGPT API has no memory. To enable it to respond based on context or provided knowledge, it needs to be supplied with it in the form of prompts before each statement.GPT-3 turbo can handle a context of 4K in the cheaper version, and 8K in the more expensive one. This means that in the cheaper version it can have a total data size of 4096 tokens.For simplicity: 4096 tokens correspond to about 4 characters each in English. This means it can handle 16384 characters - we are talking here about the prompt with the question and the answer to the prompt in total. 16384 characters weigh about 16KB in a UTF-8 encoded CSV file.And Zapier allows you to add a data

New template showing outdated test data

Whenever I create a new template for my existing integration, it shows previous version of the test data. We used have a slightly different version of the test data, but now it is changed to have additional fields. URL for fetching the test data is still the same. When we create a new zap, it does show the latest test data. However, when creating a template, it keeps showing the older version. It looks as if the previous response from our sample data URL is cached by the template service, even though a new zap creation is able to fetch the latest sample from the same URL.Has anyone faced this issue before, and found a solution?

I have ensured that all input parameters are accurate, but the API is not functioning as expected for me.

This situation pertains to the utilization of the Speakatoo API, where thorough checks have been made to ensure the accuracy of all input parameters. Despite this diligence, the API is not performing in accordance with the expected outcomes. This issue underscores the need for further investigation and troubleshooting to identify and rectify the root cause of the API's unexpected behavior, ensuring it aligns with the intended functionality.

String or text with comma gets turned into an array

So I’ve come to realize any string or text input field with a comma, at least while testing in Step 2, sends the field as an array separated at the comma. Is there some way to globally override or change this? Over all my actions I have dozens if not 100+ fields where user input could and should contain a comma. Server side as well, I dont want to introduce handling per field. None of these fields have “Allow Multiples” set so Im not sure why its converting
