"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!

How to handle Zapier authentiation failure propertly?

I'm trying to display a friendly message on the authentication failure prompt in Zapier. Throwing an Error or HaltedError is always showing the stack trace and the console logs which I'd like to get rid of. Is there a way to only display a custom message we specify?

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!

API Call Retry

We have an endpoint in our API that we are using with Zapier that if it takes to long requires a retry after a few seconds. How could we implement this flow?

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?

Zapier logging is not working properly

I'm trying to fix an issue in a webhook trigger so I turn to logging everything via z.console.log to find out what is going wrong.Here's how the operations bit look like in my trigger module:operation: {        type: 'hook',        performSubscribe: subscribeHook,        performUnsubscribe: unsubscribeHook,        perform: getItem,        performList: listItems,        sample: sample    }So, I enable the test zap, fire the webhook and I expect to see some logs when I run the cli command "zapier logs". Running the command, sometimes it gets me a 503 error, saying "Logs are temporarily unavailable, please wait 15 minutes and try again". Some other times it does return things but I would only see logs from the "performSubscribe" function and nothing from the "perform" or the"performList" functions. I have set a send mail action in the test Zap and I do get an email when I fire the hook, so am I right to presume that on

I wrote about my experience with building a custom Zapier integration for Gleebeam

What's interesting about this integration is that my app uses Firebase for the backend so I had to navigate and merge the available features in Firebase and Zapier to create what I now believe is an efficient and secure integration! 🚀I think it turned out well and, in the end, I was able to create it just using the visual builder (there was a bug that prevented pushing code with the CLI at the time).Here's the full post: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/gleebeam/created-a-zapier-integration-for-gleebeam--Lug7RoJuvnwCc9nLTXNIf you're using Firebase for your app, I might be able to offer some help as it was at times not at all obvious to me how to accomplish certain things. Just let me know!

Can I have multiple triggers use a single polling action?

For a quick example, imagine I have N resources. I could set up each of them to have their own triggers, which would result in N API calls per poll.But I have an endpoint which I can poll, which gives me updates on all of these resources in a single call. For example, if I GET /user/history it gives me a list of changed/added resources, and their resource type.I think it would be a complete waste to have each resource do its own polling to the exact same url, when 1 call would be enough. I know webhooks would be the best solution, but unfortunately I don't manage the API, and they do not have support for webhooks. What I would like to do, is to define one procedure/trigger, which in turn could run other triggers. Say I have a hidden trigger called: fetchUpdates which Zapier could use to poll every x minutes, but if the user had multiple triggers for different resources, it would not start making a lot of API calls. With this I could cut API traffic down by a large factor.The onl

How can I auth with a frontend js library?

My app requires the following auth flow:User gets redirected to a URL on my website. They login, grant access etc. In the end the get redirected back to the original URL, but in the query params there is specified a token and some extra information about the user. (Similar to how Spotify does it)I looked over all the options for authentication on Zapier, but it seems like only Oauth has the option of redirecting to an external URL for authentication. How can I solve this problem?Also, is there a way of unit testing the authentication?

Send the info about the Zap as part of rest hook subscription call

In my Zapier App, I am call the resthook API hosted on my app's server to pass on the bundle.targetUrl webhook URL where the data can be reported and trigger the app.I want to send more information, as part of this resthook API call. Things like which action app is used as part of this Zap, what all fields have been mapped in the action app, which of them is required etc.I want this so that I can configure my app more precisely to decide when exactly to report the data and trigger the Zap.I think the answer to this question is in the bundle variable. But I am not able to find the exact structure of this variable what all data does it hold and if it holds other data about the Zap mentioned above.For reference this is the current code for subscribeHook function in my app:```const subscribeHook = (z, bundle) => { const data = {  url: bundle.targetUrl,  event: ['new_conversation'], }; // You can build requests and our client will helpfully inject all the variables // you

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!
