Why does a Zap which has previously been working for me now not work a presents the error message “Only absolute URLs are supported. This is likely a problem with the app. Please contact support”   What is an absolute URL? Why would this now stop working when the Zap has been working fine till today?  

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?  

Hello community!   I’m not coming with any real questions, I’m more interested to know how you may feel about using Zapier as a key aspect for the back-end of your SaaS product or web app. Zapier in a production back-end I’ve personally been having trouble reconciling my thoughts on this, I want to be in full control of my back-end in all aspects, even if using Zapier could save me time and energy. I don’t know if it’s a pride thing, a control thing or maybe a matter of wanting to hone my craft and feeling like using Zapier for that purpose would almost be ‘cheating’. I love Zapier and I’ll gladly use it to automate tasks whenever possible, except in this specific context. I’m interested to know if anybody else here struggles with that mindset, or on another note, are there some things that you would never do without Zapier again now that you’ve used it?   The Firebase Effect Not all t

I’m trying to connect an new app on the Platform UI.  In setting up a new trigger, I’m getting the error: Invalid API Response: - Got a result missing the "id" property ({"pedido":{"desconto":"13,20","observacoes":"","observacaointerna":"","data":"2018-02-28","numero":"1","numeroOrdemCompra":"","vendedor":"","valorfrete":"19.83","totalprodutos":"132.00","totalvenda":"138.63","situacao":"Atendido","dataSaida":"2018-03) What happened (You are seeing this because you are an admin): Executing triggers.pedido_novo.operation.perform with bundle Invalid API Response: - Got a result missing the "id" property ({"pedido":{"desconto":"13,20","observacoes":"","observacaointerna":"","data":"2018-02-28","numero":"1","numeroOrdemCompra":"","vendedor":"","valorfrete":"19.83","totalprodutos":"132.00","totalvenda":"138.63","situacao":"Atendido","dataSaida":"2018-03) Console logs: Here’s my code: const options = { url: 'https://bling.com.br/Ap

I’m getting this validation error Field "Foo" has inconsistent type, "string" in sample of Zap 84344953 while "integer" in output field definition But this Zap is not mine, and I have no idea why it would have a string.  If I could get some more fields for the same item/sample, that would be useful.  Is that possible?   Also, when I press “re-run validation” it doesn’t seem to hit the server.  If it’s validating a stale response, then I’ve no idea how I can clear the error.

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 wo

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.

Hello :)   Im currently setting up a new integration and Im using Session Auth aside from username, password  and api_key, I also need the user to provide the country_code when creating a new connection, because we have different API for each country e.g au-api.domain.com for Australia us-api.domain.com for United States nz-api.domain.com for New Zealand uk-api.domain.com for United Kingdom The api url is being built dynamically based on the value of bundle.authData.country_code like   const options = { url: bundle.authData.country_code + '-api.domain.com/auth',   The Problem   when the user sets up a new connection, the country_code field shows up as a plain text field

We’re setting up a couple zaps using the Zoho CRM integration. We’d love to use the Zoho sandbox for initial testing of the workflow. Is there any way to make the Zoho integration point to the sandbox instance vs our live production instance of Zoho?   Thanks

HelloI am just getting started on integrating my app on Zapier. When testing authentication, the bundle and http logs are no longer showing. It was working a few days ago, not sure why they suddenly stopped over the weekend; (I am using the Integration UI). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The standard Zapier integration with Paypal uses the IPN only. Has anyone built a custom integration using Paypal’s API, bypassing the IPN?

Hi all, building an app on the Zapier Platform to integrate with Freshbooks since the native Freshbooks app doesn’t have the functionality I need.    I need the line item section to be formatted like so:      "lines": [      {        "name": "Test Item",        "qty": "1",        "unit_cost": {          "amount": "27.00"        }      }     ] As seen here However, when I test things in the Developer Platform under Test your API Request I get the following:    "lines": [      "{ 'name': 'Test Item'",      "'qty': '1'",      "'unit_cost': { 'amount': '27.00'  } }"    ]   This is my current API Request configuration for those line items:

Hello, I created a new Zapier integration and I have the plan to publish it. In the publishing section in my integration, there is a field called ‘API Documentation URL (required)’ but I have no idea what URL should I put there.

Hello, I have an issue related to create a serach action for our zapier integration app. This is what I need exctly. I need to create a search action to find some records via our api and use the result in the next step in our Zap. My issue is that I can see only the first result of that search action when I test the search action. I checked the api, the api returns a list of items to the search action but I don’t know how can see/use those items in our zap Thank you  

Hi all, I have a requirement where i would like the ui to only display fields and only make fields mandatory based on a response it receives from a trigger. My question is this possible? if so can it be done through the ui or would it have to be done through the cli?   Thanks Adam

I have a webhook to trigger a custom app.  This accesses an API and returns an JSON array  now I want to use this (complete) JSON array to be send over to Filemaker making use of a post web hook  the ‘problem’ is that even when I use the ‘raw’ data of the app , the JSON array gets ‘worked over’ by zapier, giving me only the values without the formatting . This produces 2 problems, i can’t use the individual item / results because of some NULL values of 1 field and because of a lot of ‘CR’ in another field  Also the ‘raw’ data of results gives me no formatting like “  So I either need to change the output of the custom app (which I do not know how) or change the way zapier ‘works over’ the data so that I get the pure JSON array.  I have thought about using a RAW web hook POST but I get stuck there. I use the manual from h

Hello, is it possible to output a file (csv, xlsx, json, XML) from Zapier trigger? I'm making an integration from a service, that calls Zapier through webhooks informing there's a file to fetch. In the perform function, I make an API call to get the document and I would like to output the result of that call.  From what I can see, it looks like Trigger output should be a JSON. Is it possible to output for example a CSV file? If so, how?  Right now, I try to stash the file and return just the URL in following way: (feeling it's not quite it) const file = z.dehydrateFile(() => { const req = z.request(options) const stash = z.stashFile(req) return stash})return [file] In the Test section I got following message:We could not find your function/array/object anywhere on your App definition.

Hello! I’ve got wordpress site. I would like to create integration two wordpress plugins, which have a setting with API integration Zapier. Currently, in my country there is a law that requires that all personal data be stored only on the servers of the Russian Federation.

If so, what encryption methods are used and what documents confirm the security of data use? Thank you. Best Regards, Alexey.

Hi,   I have a Zap between Amazon and trello which creates a card with a buyer name and other atributes when a order is made in my seller account.   The fact is that from a while ago neither the buyer name nor the buyer shipping name are being triggered when the card is created.   All the other atributes such as product name and other things are being triggered 

I use a API call to retrieve items in bulk , if there are more then 1000 entries , it gives me a __next option, I use paths to check if this __next option is returned and if true , I run a different API Call with this info.  but I need to run this call as many times as the response returns this __next option  , I can do this with paths, but I want to re run the last path as many times as necessary , otherwise I need to code more then 50 paths to be sure. . . .  is there a way to loop this ?  so , call api call 1   if response contains __next  run api call 2 if response contains __next  run api call 2  and so forth  So I want the path go back  and rerun the last path as many times as necessary
