Trouble getting Google API refresh token for custom integration.

I am creating a custom integration using the Google Calendar API. I can get the oauth2 authentication to work initially, but it stops working after about an hour. I am trying to get a refresh token, but my guess is that something in that process is not working.    I have setup these URL parameters: response_type = code approval_prompt = force (I’ve tried ‘consent’ but same results) access_type = offline   How can I get my authorization to stick?

How can I connect other Google Calendars to my zap?

I'm using Google Calendar with Zapier Webhooks. I've connected my Google Calendar to my zap but I would like to use other people's calendars who sign in with social sign-in on my web app. How can this be done?

Hide input field with computed property not working.

Hello everyone, I’m attempting to create a field to determine whether something is built with the CLI or the web interface via an input field.{         key: 'isWeb',         computed: true,         type: 'boolean',         required: false,         default: ‘yes’       }, I would like for it to be invisible however the computed property doesn’t seem to be working. How would I create an invisible input field that is already populated?

Zapier platform (GUI) - unable to fix T004 and T006 for a concrete trigger

Hi Zapier community! I’m trying to integrate our application into zapier platform - for now using the UI and not CLI The only remaining publishing tasks pending to fix is related with one concrete trigger and related with the errors T004 and T006.  Our application allows to create virtual meetings and record them. We have a trigger that provides the url of the recording of the meeting once the recording is available and we have tested it via zap, uploading that recording to youtube. We have created a successful task and tested live. So far so good. Nevertheless the publishing errors T004 and T006 does not go away (Polling Sample / Static Sample Contains a Subset of Keys from Live Result) The polling URL works ok, and same response data is populated into the sample data of the “define your output”.  This is an example of our polling data which is the same as the sample data (and same output fields) {   "content": {     "id": "123456",     "name": "Example Meeting",     "sequenceId": "45

API Authorization endpoint

Hello, The API library I am working with does not have a specific API endpoint for user credential verification. All of the available APIs are basically queries to the database I am connecting to.  The API requires an API key, as well as a user name and password (all of which I have). Is there a way to have Zapier authenticate the account without a user verification API endpoint?  I asked the API developers and they said to try using any of the API calls and see if it returned a 200 server response. I tried this, but since all of the API calls involve a query Zapier returns an error.  The API documentation is here if it helps: https://connect.aegispremier.com/help Also, if a user authentication API is required is there an easy way to have this implemented? Ideally a “drop in and go” (or as close as possible) solution? I realize that this would probably depend on the programing language(s) used for the API, but I don’t have that info at this time. I ‘d like to try and make it as easy as

Invalid credentials expected behaviour

Hello, Sorry if this is a noob question. I am trying to authenticate using Session Auth, and I am testing different scenarios. What is the expected behaviour when the user enters an incorrect password?  I got this output from a mock endpoint that returns 401. Is this what the end user will see?    Thanks, Ian

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

Pass entire Trigger response body to Create Action POST body in a Zap

Hi, I'm trying to pass some data from an existing 3rd party Trigger into a new Create Action.The data from the Trigger is a complex, deeply nested object including some arrays of objects. Some Trigger data includes more fields than others. I'd like to just pass the entire object through to the body of my Action rather than try to deal with all the different mapping cases and trying to flatten the object. Can someone point me to some documentation that could help me get this done?

Dynamic / custom fields passing to the api

I am using input fields and dynamic fields. I have been used array of object into dynamic fields code like  var custom_fields=[{"key":"leadstest_cstm"},{"key":"leads_default_cstm"},{"key":"leads_default_currency_cstm"},{"key":"leads_default_numeric_cstm"},{"key":"lead_serial_cstm"},{"key":"offer_amount_cstm"},{"key":"pricelist_cstm"},{"key":"short_bio_cstm"}] The dynamic fields are displaying along with input fields when i creating zaps. The problem is when i going to “Send data” and click on the “Retest action” for testing the input data is passing to the api which i have mentioned into the API configuration code and saving to our crm application but custom field’s data is not saving i.e custom fields data is not passing to the api. consider the following sample code in api configuration: body: {     'apiSecret': bundle.authData.apiSecret,    'apiKey': bundle.authData.apiKey,        "request":{        'first_name':bundle.inputData.first_name,     'last_name':bundle.inputData.last_name

Webhook URL Validation

Hi Team, We are trying to build a zapier app where we want to use Rest Hook mechanism to fire the triggers. Here the challenge we are facing is that our Backend System, by design, validates the webhook Url provided to its subscribe API. To validate the webhook URL our backend does the following on receiving the subscribe API call:Generates a random token Sets this token against a custom key in header, say “Validation-Token” Calls the webhook URL with above request header Expects a 200 response and the same token in the response header.You can also refer the official documentation here: https://ringcentral-quickstart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/webhooks/ To achieve the above contract, we will require to alter the webhook output/response. But I don’t see any way to do this in zapier documentation. For reference, I can see below kind of response being returned by zapier webhook url{ "id": "6dc1225c-6de1-46ea-8794-e2d4960fc62a", "request_id": "61b88ed5-f683-4a70-aa0b-16ee7218bc40", "atte

Does each trigger use a distinct webhook URL?

My app has multiple triggers that I want to be able to tell Zapier about, all via the REST hooks.Based on exploring the Platform UI, it seems that for each trigger, Zapier will subscribe to a different webhook. This means my app should have different REST hook subscription URLs, e.g. foobar.com/api/trigger-one and foobar.com/api/trigger-two, is that correct? Also that Zapier will provide a different webhook URL for each trigger, which my app will save and use depending on which trigger has triggered, correct?In other words, the specific trigger type is indicated by the REST hook subscription URLs themselves and the callback webhooks, as opposed to via a GET parameter or something inside the payload sent to the webhook, yes?

Pagination - How can I store and provide a non-numeric page identifier?

(Also posted at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62351427/pagination-how-can-i-store-and-provide-a-non-numeric-page-identifier) I am trying to add pagination to my Zapier trigger. The API I am using for the trigger supports pagination, but not using a page number in the traditional sense (ie. page 1,2,3,...). Instead, the API response includes a key (ie. "q1w2e3r4") which should be passed as a parameter to the next request to get the next page of results. From looking at the docs, I can use {{bundle.meta.page}} (which defaults to 0 unless otherwise set). I am trying to set {{bundle.meta.page}} in the code editor, with an example shown below: const options = { url: 'company_xyz.com/api/widgets', method: 'GET', ..., params: { ..., 'pagination_key': bundle.meta.page, }}return z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const json_response = response.json; widgets = json_response.widgets ... bundle.meta.page = json_response["nex

Within my API, validation errors are returned with a HTTP error 400 and a message.When I test the API as an action in Zapier and hit a validation error, zapier flags the zap as failed, emails me to tell me there is an issue but all I get is the first word of the error message as Zapier truncates the messageWhat happened (You are seeing this because you are an admin):Stack trace: ResponseError: {"status":400,"headers":{"content-type":"application/json"},"content":"{\"success\":false,\"message\":\"AnHow should I be returning validation errors from my API so that Zapier will handle them in a more friendly error.

Need help setting up a Zap with my companies Back-Office tool...

I want to set up a zap for my companies back-office tool - we have clients that submit domain names to us for Appraisals & for brokerage - Currently every time I want to check to see if a new name has been submitted i need to manually log into the back office (which is on a VPN) and refresh the page to see if any new domain names have been submitted to us for appraisal or brokerage. We do have an API so there must be an automated way for me to get a zap or notification via text or email every time a new domain name has been submitted instead of manually checking. Can you please help? Please any and all help would be greatly appreciated Sincerely, Jason Edited by a moderator to remove personal information.

Custom input fields with parameters from previous step

Hi,   At TeamworkIQ we’re trying to create an action which will have custom input fields. The inputFields will have two static fields and a function that will return a list of additional fields. This list will come from a request that includes the previous two values as ids in the Request URL.  We are trying to fill in the static fields with result data from a previous trigger that gives us the desired IDs, but trying to access bundle.inputData.process_no to get one ID returns {{82379216__process_id}}. Is there a way to access those actual values while building the Zap?
