Security for z.stashfile

I’ve tried to google this but couldn’t find the proper documentation. https://platform.zapier.com/cli_docs/docs#dehydrationSuccessfully implemented - a sample of this code const content = 'Hello world!';const url = await z.stashFile(content, content.length, 'hello.txt', 'text/plain');z.console.log(url);// https://zapier-dev-files.s3.amazonaws.com/cli-platform/f75e2819-05e2-41d0-b70e-9f8272f9eebfYou create a file thru CLI on your perform method and it returns an s3 link, you can download the file from there. Everybody happy. My question is, who else has access to this file? Obviously, myself bec I have the link but other can do a scan on that s3 bucket as well. Can they access the file?  How long does this file live? Is there a flush method to delete this file ? What if the file have sensitive information? All security question that I would like to understand.

Struggling with Zapier Natural Language Actions and OAuth2

Hello,I want to make a connection to OAuth2, which gives me a connection with the client's external account, and I want to use Zapier Natural Language Actions.The problem is that ZNLA is previously connected to the account, that is my account. Works great, but I want to use the same logic with the client's OAuthv2 Twitter account.Is this possible now? I also added the OAuth2 to twitter on Zapier integrations. If the solution above is still not possible, could I just do this via API? I have been reading the documentation and doesn't look trivial. Thank you,

Feedback - feature idea

I had a feature idea after I made a zap and it asked me if I’d like to make it a template for the community.While I said yes, I thought that gamification of template creation and other sectors of Zapier would be a great way to get free credits towards paid plans or additional zaps, hook users more to keep them coming back, and stimulates ease of use for future and existing customers with new tap templates.Rewarding users for creating unique templates would probably make us better net promoters, too.Want users to share the templates on social media? Give them more rewards for each share!Zapier is the leader in low-code automation, but it could be more sticky because some zaps aren’t so easy to decipher and setup and this would reduce more friction eventually.

ES modules

I am using v14.0.0 of the zapier-platform-core dependency to build my integration. I’m using nvm to ensure that Node v18 is being used:  nvm exec v18 npm test -- authentication.test.jsThe integration references a dependency that uses ES modules, but I get an error when I attempt to build the application.  Are they supported?

Api key and bearer token

Hi, I need to create a custom authorization, the first step is to request a Bearer token using an API key, and then use this token in the headers for all the requests, I’m using a session auth type, and everything is working fine, but the token needs to be refreshed, so, after some time the connection fails since the token is not valid anymore, how can I call a refresh of the token? This option is only available in the OAuth2 authorization type, but I don’t need this auth type, so far I have this code, but I can’t figure out how to add the token refresh call and to set up the token session again: module.exports = { type: 'session', test: { headers: { Authorization: 'Bearer {{bundle.authData.token}}' }, url: '{{bundle.authData.base_url}}healthcheck', }, fields: [ { computed: false, key: 'API-KEY', required: true, label: 'API Key', type: 'string', }, { computed: true, key: 'token', required: false, type: 'string' }, ],

How do I create zaps for my App's users which uses my App's Zapier integration as a trigger, and their own social Media as the action (without them making their own Zapier Account)?

I have Integrated my application with Zapier so that it can be used as a trigger when a user makes a change on their account dashboard.I would like to setup an automated Instagram post to their business Instagram account when they make a certain change.So my question is:Is it possible set up zaps on behalf of my app's users this way or any other way? The “Zap” would use my app's Zapier integration as a trigger, and a post to their Instagram as the action.We want to have customers sign in to their Instagram account from our website using Oauth, ideally facilitated through Zapier, and once this is done, a Zap is essentially setup automatically without them having to make a Zapier account and setup the zap themselves. I desperately want to go the route of using Zapier because a. The Instagram GRAPH API seems to be under heavy construction and we, as a small team of developers, cannot get it working for ourselves, so we want to use Zapier as the middle man. Use of Zapier also interests us

How do I integrate Zapier with company private internal custom built CMS

Hi,I am the developer of a custom CMS which we use. I would like to be able to have some of the zapier components talk with our private company CMS in order to perform simple functions i.e query out CMS to see if a facebook lead from zapier already exists within our CMS prior to performing other functions on the zapier side with it., etc. From the research which I’ve done I have come up with other questions which I’m hoping can be answered: -1- webhooks and/or an API can be created on my side, the easiest is the webhook but my understanding is that webhooks cannot return data to zapier, i.e. if I was wanted to return a true or false value for if a lead already existed I would not be able to get this answer using a webhook and would then need to to create a API instead, is this correct?-2- no static ip or ip ranges are used on the zapier side when calling to an api, or webhook, therefore it would be impossible for me to limit connections to my API or Webhook to just one or several ip ra

Why We Need A Google Classroom Integration

I’m currently a student, and I’m here to showcase my argument as to why we need a google classroom integration.  We don’t. What a plot twist. You didn’t expect that, didn’t you. But disregarding that fact, it would be awesome if there would be a google classroom integration. That way, if the teachers upload a material, it would automatically sync up with notion or clickup and go to the subject’s resources folder. Or if there is an assignment uploaded the same thing happens and it would end up in the subject’s assignments folder. An announcement? Same thing. And if your college or school is one of the few and plots the lectures or timetable within google classroom, you can set up a zap. And guess what, it will automatically sync up with your calendars.The keyword here is efficiency. It would be waaaaaaaaaaaay more efficient to have a google classroom integration for students than not. Bye!

404 upon successful authentication

Hello,My team is building a Zapier integration where users connect an account via an API key. After going through the “Add Connection” flow I get a 404 screen in Zapier’s UI.From the network console it seems to be a failing GET request to the following path: https://zapier.com/_next/data/app-management-3064226381e35ed03bc1802ce3770ac91d194f7e/app/connections/null.json?hl=[someNumericalId]&serviceSlug=nullIt appears that despite the 404 screen, the credentials are added successfully.When checking the API key auth it doesn’t appear to have some requested return data, so I am not sure how to resolve this 404 screen, as it is a poor user experience.It only appears to occur when adding it through the “My Apps” tab. Adding a connection via setting up a trigger or action doesn’t result in this behavior.The integration app is currently Private as it is under development. Does this matter?Thanks.-Justin

CLI Testing and Environment Variables

Hey folks,I am a noob at Node.js, so sorry if I am missing some obvious points. I converted my application from UI to CLI by using zapier convert command  without issues. However, I couldn’t manage to run tests.I am getting “Only absolute URLs are supported” message after zapier test command. The message info goes on with the endpoint of my API: “{{process.env.API_URL}}/calculations/...”.What should I do to resolve this issue? My UI version works flawlessly at the end. So, I don’t want to make changes like replacing variables with static values.I have understood that I can get the variables from the .env file, but my .env doesn’t include a variable API_URL. It has only ACCESS_TOKEN and REFRESH_TOKEN. Also, I can’t access them if I wrapped them between curly brackets like the one above ({{process.env.API_URL}}).Thanks in advance.

Breaking up line ltems into multiple batches

Hi,I have built two custom integrations (apps) using the Zapier CLI to integrate our Payroll system with our HRIS. For context we have 150 employees and this could grow to 200 in the next 6 months.The Payroll integration has a trigger that returns a line item with for each employee with the employee’s leave balance. The line items are passed to an action provided by the HRIS integration which updates the leave balance for each employee.The problem is that the API for our HRIS is rate limited to 60 requests per minute. This rate limit cannot be increased (I’ve asked already) and there is no bulk update method available to update leave balances in a single request. Given the execution time limit for an action is 30 seconds and we are limited to 1 request per second the theoretical maximum number employee leave balances we can update is 30.As we have 150 employees we cannot even hope to update everyone’s leave balance in a single action and it is not cost effective to loop through each em

Push Zapier from monorepo

Hi, I am developing a Zapier integration with our API. I am building this in NodeJS using the Zapier Platform CLI.I started the project with typescript using `zapier init {name}`.Then I installed our projects types, which are present in our monorepo. We use this monorepo design, so we have a central types library which will always be up-to-date when developing. This means that whenever we add something to an endpoint, we are forced to change these types everywhere on the spot.We are not pushing this types library to NPM, but we keep it in the monorepo and install it from there.The monorepo looks a bit like this:monorepo/├─ src/│ ├─ libs/│ │ ├─ types/│ │ │ ├─ package.json│ ├─ zapier/│ │ ├─ package.json│ ├─ some-service/│ │ ├─ package.json├─ package.jsonThe monorepo has a package.json containing the following:{ "name": "@project/root", "version": "0.0.2", "private": true, "description": "", "license": "UNLICENSED", "author": "", "workspaces": [ "src/*", "src/libs
