Encryption mechanism of environment variables on zapier

I wish to store some sensitive data in the environment variables to use in authentication flow. I’d like to know how does zapier stores these variables? Are these in some kind of vault or if there’s any security layer that protects these? What is the encryption mechanism for storing these variables.

Authorization token not refreshing automatically

I have set up a authentication in my zap where Grant_type is authorization Code. Now, I want my zap to automatically generate a token whenever the zap executed. But, this is not happening, every time I need to set up a token manually.

Speak with someone at Zapier

Does anyone know how I can actually contact someone? I found a phone number and called, it told me where to send an email and hung up. I did that and the email bounced back saying its no longer monitored and to try the chat system or the community. The chat bot can’t help with anything account related other then send me to discussion threads. A little frustrating! We have a charge on our credit card and cannot locate an account to cancel it from (this account was only created to find help here). Anyone have any success contacting support? Thanks in advance

Filters on paths

Hi - I have a zap from Airtable that should filter “Onboarding- Pending Agreement” and “UK Onboarding - Pending Agreement” and depending on which path it should create a user on Flodesk depending on the segment. Right now everyone onboarding is going through both paths. Ive done “text contains exact statuses and Ive also done contains UK vs does not contain UK and still nothing has worked. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Error handling for agencies

Hey guys! Hope to get some inspiration and feedback here :) We are an agency and setting up Zaps for our clients. Now we got the problem that sometimes the Zaps don’t run correctly. So we inserted a error handler with a webhook which sends us a Slack message and also creates a Asana task for our developer to check the Zap of the client. How are you guys handling the issues when a certain Trigger (for example Facebook Lead Ads) doesn’t trigger any event because there’s a problem? Right now we only get feedback from our clients - but that said they´re than not satisfied because they thought that everythings working correctly. Anyone has some ideas or feedback? Kind regardsPascal

Feature request: integrate Zapier with eleven labs api

I'm currently building an email-to-podcast app using Zapier, and I've found that Eleven Labs has the best text-to-speech API out there, way better than OpenAI's offering. My app is powered by Claude, Email by Zapier, GPT-4, and Eleven Labs, and it's pretty amazing. Everything runs automatically except for the Eleven Labs part. Right now, I have to manually paste output from a Google Sheet into the Eleven Labs UI. It would be fantastic if we could integrate Eleven Labs directly with Zapier to streamline this process. This integration would greatly improve the workflow for my project and potentially benefit many other Zapier users working with text-to-speech technology. Here’s the link to the proof-of-concept podcast: https://pod.co/ladera

Are webhooks, looping, and multiple formatters allowed in Zap templates?

Hi there I’ve come across some of the questions wayback a year or two and someone was asking regarding their zap template which cleary using loops and webhooks. But there’s this document I’ve read which has a note on saying I’ve read it here: how to build zap template but since it was asked about a year so I would like to confirm if webhooks and looping aren't allowed on zap templates? also, does using multiple data formatter not allowed as well? Appreciate your time answering this. Thanks.

Using Variables in Firebase Paths for Reading and Writing Data

Hello everybody, I’m working on the automation of irrigation systems. I have multiple plants in different locations that I’m managing with local micro-controllers (ESP32). The ESP is logging information and receiving commands to/from a Firebase Realtime DB. Each ESP has is own tree: ESP/ESPx/Irrigation with field Status and value ON/OFF. I would like to manage via Zapier the schedule of irrigations either on set times (for example at 10 AM, 1PM etc) or on trigger (for example when the temperature is increasing over a certain threshold). The rules are the same for most of the ESP. Right now I managed to do that by creating a Zap for each ESP, even if they are all exactly the same except that they’re pointing to a different path. Example: Zap 1 points to path ESP/ESP1/Irrigation Zap 2 points to path ESP/ESP2/Irrigation … I would like to variabilize the path so I can have only one Zap executing multiple times for each path. I understand Zap Loops is supposed to do that. I created a loop f

Seeking Mentorship/Internship in No-Code/Low-Code Automation – Willing to Learn and Contribute!

Hi, I worked as a software developer specializing in C, C++, Unix, Oracle. Later, I transitioned into project and program management positions, leading various projects across industries. Now, I’m at a new phase in my career where I’m passionate about teaching coding to kids of all ages. I teach the fundamentals of Python, HTML/CSS, Robotics, Tinkercad, and a variety of digital technologies. It’s rewarding, but I’m also eager to dive deeper into the no-code/low-code automation space. I’ve been upskilling myself in tools like Zapier, Airtable, Make, etc, but I’m struggling to find real-world projects where I can gain hands-on experience. I’m looking for opportunities where I can learn and contribute—whether through a mentorship or internship—and I’m hoping for something that’s compensated, even if it’s on a smaller scale. If anyone in the community is willing to take me under their wing or knows of businesses that could benefit from my skills, I’d love to connect. I’m open to working on

How to Get Access Token for next call

In my Authentication Tab, I have generated the Token. And added the test connection URL as well to check whether endpoints are working fine. Now, On the next step - I need to check whether the particular user is present in target or not. But for that API call, we again need access token. But because of the last call was to get the data instead of token - I am getting the data and not the token. How can we retrieved the token in such case to use it in next step of ZAP?

How can I publish two apps on Zapier using one account?

I do already have on app published. The problem is that if Zapier user doesn’t know my brand name, there is no way they can discover my app by using service/product name. My current goal is to split my only app into two. The idea is to use two different app names to improve the discoverability. The system currently doesn’t allow such an option. Alternatively, maybe there is a different way to make my app discoverable using module names+descriptions? What solutions can we have here?

Dynamic output fields aren't evaluated

Hi there! There's no category for Output Fields, so I'm posting it here. I’m pretty sure I've run into some bugs w.r.t. dynamic output fields. It seems like dynamic output fields are only evaluated either: Once the workflow action is fully configured and a “Test node” action is performed, or If the dynamic field generation callback is the only outputField in the outputFields list The docs say that dynamic fields are automatically evaluated and merged with the static output fields. This hasn't been my experience. Something seems to be bugged there. Also, it seems that the interactions with altersDynamicFields don't work at all for dynamic outputFields. I would expect that if I mark an inputField as altersDynamicFields, then a change in the inputField value would also trigger a re-evaluation of all dynamic outputFields (after all, if even the configuration of the node is dependent on this value, how can you expect dynamic outputFields to stay static?). This also doesn't seem to work, tho

How does _zap_search_success_on_miss work

Hi all, I’m maintaining a zapier CLI integration that has a search that is erroring out even if the _zap_search_success_on_miss is set to true. Is this something that Zapier will deal with automatically if I throw the right kind of error or do I need to parse it myself from the inputDataRaw? I can't find any documentation around that variable.

White Labeling Zapier Chatbots

Dear Zapier Community, Hope all is well. Quick question: We’re opening up a white label reseller agency that focuses exclusively on implementing customized AI-powered chatbots, tailored for businesses and institutions. In the Zapier chatbot plans, noticed that there is a premiere plan that provides 20 chatbots. Just to ensure if this is a good fit for us or not, (Is this plan able to be white labeled under our agency name for resell or is it strictly for companies looking to use it for their internal teams?) To provide a bit more context, our primary use case would be: Building each chatbot, per clients need(s) and then implementing into their websites, slack channels, discord servers, notion workspaces, etc. Look forward to hearing back! Best, Rishi

Social Media Automation

Hello. I am interested in the following. I need a service that will automatically respond to private messages, comments, mentions, hashtags on social networks such as Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube using AI. What can you offer and maybe what service can be integrated with to achieve the goal? So that it is convenient to communicate and there is an opportunity to do autoposting? Something like sproutsocial, or maybe it is possible to integrate with it? As an example of how AI works, I am satisfied with the work of a service such as https://help.such.chat/, since you can provide it with information within which it gives answers, but unfortunately it only works in Telegram. I am also looking for the ability to automatically like private messages, comments, mentions, hashtags on social networks such as Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube. I am looking for someone who will help or is willing to pay if a person is willing to set it up himself.
