Questions on the capability of the Developer API

Hi there, I'm working on an app that allows users to create a workflow that involves operations from three different apps (Google Calendar, Gmail, and Discord). I've been exploring Zapier's API as a way to accomplish this, but I've run into some challenges. Specifically, I want to provide a way for users to authenticate the other apps directly within my app, rather than having to log in to their Zapier account separately. Then the app will use Zapier to communicate with those third party apps on the backend. Is there a way to use Zapier's API to accomplish this? To provide a bit more context, my app is designed to help users manage their tasks and events across multiple platforms. The ability to integrate with other apps like Google Calendar and Gmail is essential to our users, and we want to make the integration process as seamless as possible. I've read Zapier's API documentation, but I'm still not clear on whether this is possible or how to accomplish it. Any guidance or advice woul

Need help with creating a new Zapier Integration using Dotnet Core backend

I have a Dotnet (core) application where I'm integrating Zapier. Now on Zapier's developer platform when I'm creating a new integration, the first step is Authentication where you have different types of auth, e.g. OAuth V2, Session Auth, etc. In my application, I authorize users and all the API calls using Dotnet's Identity Provider where I use User.Identity.IsAuthenticated to check whether the user is signed in and the Authorize attribute to verify an API call along with ClaimsPrincipal.I tried all types of auth provided in Zapier's developer portal but it fails. I would really appreciate some input about integrating Zapier with my application

Launched: The data you've been asking for!

No app can do everything on its own. The best apps are instead focused on their core features, then rely on integrations with dozens of other great apps to do the rest. That is what the Zapier platform enables. It brings the best of every app together.For this reason, you’ve made the decision to build a Zapier app. You launched it to the world and now receive a monthly newsletter that provides some basic information on the status of the app you built. But how is it actually performing? Are your users finding it useful in extending the power of your product? How do you know that you’re getting a return on your investment for building and maintaining an app on Zapier’s platform?Until today, it has been a bit of a black box. You haven’t been able to see how your users are actually using your app on Zapier. Today, that changes. I’m pleased to share that we’ve shipped a new “Insights” dashboard that is chock-full of data revealing how your app is performing. That includes new users, total n

How to send the response of a trigger into my action

I’m building a zapier integration with my app that has an actionthe action simply needs to take whatever response from the trigger and do something on it (I just need to send the response of previous trigger to the endpoint so I can manage it)I built the action and it works but I don’t know how to append the response of the trigger to it? the input fields look like it’s something the user need to enter but I don’t want user interaction I just want to send the raw response of the previous trigger?

Json data returned in Python code step

Hi,  I am putting together a “quick” POC for someone and I have a python code step that calls an api that returns the data in json format.  All I am trying to do is return the data to be used in the next step which saves it to a Google Table.  The json string should look something like this. {"game": { "di": "left", "gid": 2022200033, "hid": 1612709911, "st": "2023-01-01 20:00", "tz": -5, "vid": 1612709918, "zn": "ET", "generic": 0},"teams": [{ "ab": "IWA", "ci": "Iowa", "colors": [ "#0C2340", "#236192", "#78BE21", "#9EA2A2", "#FFFFFF" ], "logo": "https://nbadatalakedev.blob.core.windows.net/nba/nba_sdk/assets/gleague_1612709911.png", "na": "Wolves", "tid": 1612709911, "isHome": 1},{ "ab": "TEX", "ci": "Texas", "colors": [ "#0050B5", "#0C2340", "#8D9093", "#FFFFFF" ], "logo": "https://nbadatalakedev.blob.core.windows.net/nba/nba_sdk/assets/gleague_1612709918.png", "na": "Legends", "tid": 1612709918, "isHome": 0}]}I have a teams tabl

JSON parse error when submitting request to API

Hello!Upon performing a z.request() to upload a file to my API, I get this error back:"Could not parse request body into json: Could not parse payload into json: Unexpected character ('-' (code 45)) in numeric value: expected digit (0-9) to follow minus sign...”I do not get this error if I include no form data in the request. Does anyone know a fix for this? My code is basically the default “uploadFile_v10” from the example app except with my URL substituted in.

What does it mean when I get a response 'key'?

I’m trying to implement dynamic fields into my action with responses from a trigger. So the flow is like the following:field A → trigger loads field B → trigger loads dynamic fields.However, when I test the action, I only get ‘key’ as a single response and I am unaware of where to begin debugging this. I saw only one previous post seemingly with the same error However there also doesn’t appear to be any resolution in that post.I’d love any help from here. Also, what’s the best way to inspect what is Zapier trying to send to my server, this also does not seem very clear.Thank you.

Zap works perfectly except not delivering dynamic field data to server when testing action

This post has been edited by a moderator to remove personal information. Please remember that this is a public forum and to remove any sensitive information prior to posting.I created a new Action for the first time using dynamic fields. Testing that and my Zap appears to be working perfectly, right up to the point where some of the data fields are not being delivered to the server.I am using a webhook as the trigger, and test data is being delivered correctly to the trigger test.My action captures that data, all fields are mapped properly, as you can see in the attached picture. But then when I test the action and look at the data delivered to the server, some of the fields are missing.The missing data comes from dynamic fields, so I assume that's my problem, but the action shows all of the expected key/value fields properly. How can it display all of that properly, but then not deliver the data to the server? I’m not sure where to look for the problem since the tests all show the pro

Potential Workaround for Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) OAuth 2.0

IMPORTANT UPDATE (March 23, 2023)Support for PKCE is now available in version 14.0.0 (CHANGELOG) of the Zapier Developer Platform. This workaround is no longer necessary and should be replaced by an implementation that uses official support:Zapier Developer Platform: version 14.0.0 CHANGELOG Zapier Developer Platform: OAuth2 with PKCEHello there! 👋 As some of you may already have discovered, the Zapier Developer Platform supports the OAuth 2.0 "Authorization Code Flow" but it does not currently have support for the PKCE extension to OAuth 2.0.We do have PKCE support on our roadmap but we aren’t able to offer a timeline on that. To help any developers blocked by this we wanted to share a potential workaround with you. It can be implemented in both Platform UI (Visual Builder) and CLI apps.

How to modify the API response to consolidate child and childless keys

I am writing a custom zap to pull survey data from learning management system.  I got a lot of functionality working, but am stuck with how some of the data is being structured in the resultant JSON.  If the question is a multiple choice style question, the answer comes as a child record of user_answers key surrounded by curly brackets with a key pair nested beneath.  If it’s a free-text field, then the user_answers is being returned between square brackets.   Here’s an example JSON response of the two: {  "survey_id": "2071",  "survey_name": "Course Survey",  "user_id": "1",  "user_name": "Bilbo B.",  "completion_status": "Completed",  "completed_on": "2023/01/09, 16:12:07",  "completed_on_timestamp": "1673298727",  "total_time": "39s",  "total_time_seconds": 39,  "questions": [    {      "id": "411",      "text": "The course materials (slides, animations, ring of power, etc.) facilitated my learning.",      "type": "Multiple choice",      "answers": {        "1": "Strongly Agree",

Announcing our #1 requested feature from our partners!

Hey Y’all,Ryan here, product manager at Zapier and today I’m excited to share that we’ve released a new tool for our partners to embed Zapier! But first, why should you embed Zapier? That’s a great question, here are a few reasons why:Retain customers longer, reduce churn, drive upgrades, and improve their lifetime value. Focus on building your core product without sacrificing valuable engineering resources on Zapier.Below are a few quotes from our partners who have embedded Zapier in their productsUnbounce customers who use integrations powered by Zapier have more than 10X the LTV (lifetime value) of accounts that do not have a Zapier integration.— Robert Cameron, Product Manager at UnbounceNot only are ClickUp users with a Zapier connection 25% more likely to upgrade to our paid plans, but it's also clear that they are 21% less likely to churn. — ClickUp Introducing the Full Zapier ExperienceSo now that you’re sold on embedding Zapier, what exactly is this new tool we’ve released? We

Feature request: date time formatting with output locale

This has been answered by Zapier Support already with proposed solution to use Translate by Zapier (which works as an intermediate solution), but that requires an extra step which I think is unnecessary since Zapier’s datetime formatting library already has this built-in. Therefore this thread serves as an official feature request to Zapier’s developers to offer output locale support in Zapier’s datetime formatter. I'm having a hard time finding information about localised (long) day and month names. I've searched the community forum and all various help articles, but none mention anything if the formatted date result is localised -- or info on how to make them localised. I did find your Intl.DateFormat library on Github, where there is a output locale parameter, but this seems unsupported in Zapier itself. Could you please know how to get a localised French date like Janvier, Lundi 3, 2023.locale - A BCP 47 tag to identify the output languageType: stringDefault: The system localeExamp

Disable "custom" tab from dynamic field

Just like in this, closed, post, I too, would like to be able to disable or, better yet, remove the “custom” tab, where I don’t want it.I have a few dropdown like in that post, including ones that fetches all useable options by API.I fail to see why we must have the “custom” tab forced in, when we’re providing an exact list of possible values these fields can hold. Offering the user an option to put just about anything in is the exact opposite of what is wanted in these cases and just means needless validation work, begging for errors to occur.Surely it wouldn’t be the hardest task, to at least allow the “custom” tab to be disabled/locked, if you’re hell-bent on having it present everywhere.
