Array only returns first item on Search Zapier CLI

Hello, I have a very simple question that I have not been able to find an answer to in the docs or here. I’m trying to create a custom Search Action that returns a list of objects. I’m trying to figure out how to return an array.  I’m using Zapier CLI . Here is the sample code: sample: [ {  classes: [      { name: "Test1",},     {name: "Test2",},   ],}] However Zapier CLI  throws an error: “sample is not of a type(s) object” I would expect this to be the entire array, NOT throw an error or return just the first object. How do I correct this behavior so that my Zapier Action to return an array and correct the error?

Google Local Services API + CRM - Nested Arrays ( API Response Mapping Issue )

Hi there Zapier Community, I’m building a custom Zap to integrate Google Local Service Ads API with our CRM. It appears everything is functioning properly however, I noticed several new leads are not coming through, which appears to be due to the API request sending nested data using the same field values.  Here is an example response:  { "leadId": "000000000", "accountId": "000000000", "businessName": "Acme, Inc", "leadCreationTimestamp": "2022-08-09T16:21:14Z", "leadType": "PHONE_CALL", "leadCategory": "roofer", "geo": "Miami,Florida,United States", "phoneLead": { "consumerPhoneNumber": "+15555555678" }, "chargeStatus": "NOT_CHARGED", "currencyCode": "USD", "timezone": { "id": "America/New_York" }, "id": "0000000000" }, { "leadId": "000000000", "accountId": "000000000", "businessName": "Acme, Inc", "leadCreationTimestamp": "2022-08-09T16:39:38Z", "leadType": "MESSAGE", "leadCategory": "roofer", "geo": "Miami,F

Filter Dynamic input field choices by name

Hello, I’m working on an integration and I’m struggling to filter by “name” the choices from an input field which is populated dynamically. I searched for a few days a way to do that, but I was unable to find something.This is the definition of my Create operation:  The fetch_contacts is a hidden trigger with this definition:  In the fetch_contacts trigger defition I added on line 8 the page to the request.Because we have a lot of marketing lists, we also want to add to request.params the search keyword.When I’m saying search keyword  I’m reffering to this from Zapier UI:  It’s annoying for an user to press the “Load More” button in the Zapier UI until he find the list he’s looking for. For example, let’s say our page batch size is 100 and the list he’s looking for is on the position 358. In that case, the user must press the “Load More” button 3 times, but this is totally counterintuitive.Basically, we want to call our APIs with the page and the search keyword, not only with the page.

Conditional triggering

Hi,I am building an integration (a Zapier application) with API that does not support conditional webhook; so it fires all events on a configured webhook and provides a type of event fired in a POST body, json, a kind of:{   event_type: “xxx”,    event_specific_data” {      xxxxxxxxx   }} I build an UI, a combo with multiple choice, with the list of event_types to choose. How can I prevent from firing trigger based on selected in UI types and and event type? In other words, can I stop running workflow programmatically based on some business rules.Thank you!

Webflow Action not responding in time, but executes fine on the Platform UI

Hey all -I finally got the formatting and processing right for this action and now it won’t respond in an actual zap.It does a PATCH call to the Webflow CMS API to update an object based field. I’m just passing it text (urls of images) so there is no upload lag (unless I don’t understand how that quite works) but the images are super light either way.Test calls from the Platform UI execute just fine and very fast. Updates are showing up in Webflow as expected.const wf_multi = [];const imgary = bundle.inputData.images;for (let link in imgary) { wf_multi.push({url: imgary[link]});}const options = { url: `https://api.webflow.com/collections/${bundle.inputData.collection_id}/items/${bundle.inputData.item_id}`, method: 'PATCH', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${bundle.authData.access_token}`, 'Accept-Version': '1.0.0' }, params: { 'live': true }, body: { 'fields': { 'images': wf_multi } }}

Missing id property - have read numerous threads and still stuck

Hi there, I have read through numerous threads and I know that this problem is occurring because we return Id not id as an element in our api and that I need to change it to id through the code{"Id":1,"Portfolio":null,"Code":"Dep","Active":true,"ParentCompany":0,"CompanyName":"Deputy Zapier QA","TradingName":"","BusinessNumber":"","CompanyNumber":"123 123 123","IsWorkplace":true,"IsPayrollEntity":true,"PayrollExportCode":"","Address":157,"} I have tried to do this but no matter how many different ways of bashing my head against the metaphorical wall i cannot get it to work. Sample code belowconst getList = (z, bundle) => { const promise = z.request({ url: `https://${bundle.authData.endpoint}/api/v1/resource/Company/QUERY`, method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }, body: '', }); return promise.then((response) => { const results = response.json; return results.map((item) =>{ results.id = results.Id; return item; }

Using Session Auth method with a client_id and secret_id

Hi,I have to connect an API for my work, but I have multiple issues to connect it to Zapier.First of all here’s the API documentation: https://docs.roller.app/So, this API works with OAuth2, so I first tried to use the OAuth v2 Authentication method, But It seems I can’t use this method since my API doesn’t give any “Authorization URL”. I then try to use the Session Auth method, and replace username and password by client_id and client_secret, because I need them to do the API call to get the token. https://docs.roller.app/docs/rest-api/ZG9jOjcxNDEwMzc-authenticationThen I realized that the API doesn’t give a test request either. So I tried to just to give a random GET api call in place, but you can expect it, it didn’t work. (The get call I did https://docs.roller.app/docs/roller-api/67bddadddf571-get-customers)Here’s the error I got while testing connectionI didn’t modify anything in code mode.I wonder if what I do is even the right way to do it, or even possible with Zapier.Thanks i

Zapier CLI not refreshing auth token

So I’ve setup Zapier CLI with refresh token and everything was working fine.  Recently, I’ve made some changes and I started getting this. It means the auth token is getting expired.The changes I’ve made were not even related to authentication even. Any idea why this is happening?For reference:Earlier```module.exports = {perform: perform,….}```My changes:``` module.export = {perform : (z, bundle) => someFunction(z, bundle, perform)...}```

Zapier Trigger/Rest hook not working

Hi, I’m a c# developer, and I’m new to Zapier integration.After a lot of trial & error, I’ve decided to ask for help. 1)  I created a Zapier Integration app, with actions for subscribe and unsubscribe.2)  I created a new REST HOOK trigger, configured the subscribe/unsubscribe urls and configured Zapier so that I can get the target_url {{bundle.targetUrl}} wich is saved by my application. 3) when the event happens in my app, I call all the subscription urls. Is this the correct behaviour?My call is a simple POST, a json array of modified objects. The url I call is something like: https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/standard/1111111111/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/ The response I get seems ok: <?xml version="1.0"?><id>xxxxxxx</id><request_id>yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy</request_id><attempt>yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy</attempt><status>success</status> The trigger log shows no errors (and 1 hook). ...but when I use my trigger in a new Za

Duplicated id for trigger ourput

HI community,In my system users can create their own fields and call it as they wish. The only restriction is using _ at the beginning because that’s how we represent the id of the data. Since every output trigger needs an id, I was just converting the _id to the id field, but this creates a conflict when a user has an id in their data. Like this:{ _id: '123123', id: '2'}My questions is if there is a good solution for solving this problem.I was thinking about not using the _id for the output id but I wouldn’t use what to use instead.Thank you!

Help creating Action with Line Items support in 'Code Mode'

Hi!I’m trying to create a new Action for our app. I have created simple actions and triggers with success, but can’t create this one with ‘Line Items’ support.This is the JSON required by our API. This is a simplified example:{ "gross": "100", "total": "121", "name": "Adobe", "lines": [ { "sku": "", "descr": "Corsair H60 120mm GAMING LGA1200", "quantity": "1", "price": "100.00000" } ]}In the Input Designer, I created the generic fields and the line items fields:In the API configuration tab, I have to Switch to ‘Code Mode’ because, as said, our API requires the json to come in the ‘data’ param, so I did this:const options = { url: 'https://myapp.cloud/api/expenses', method: 'POST', headers: { 'apikey': bundle.authData.apikey }, params: { 'data': '{"name":"'+bundle.inputData.name+ '","gross":"'+bundle.inputData.gross+ '","total":"'+bundle.inputData.total+ '","lines":"'+bundle.inputData.lines+'"}' }}Now if I “create a zap with this actio

Can we show different actions and triggers to different users, based on what they are actually authorized to do in my app?

I mean I don't want some users to see the triggers or actions in my app’s zapier integration, which they are actually unauthorized to do in my app. The permissive nature of zapier is making everyone to see what can be done with the app and even setup zaps, only to be surprised later in the app, that they actually cannot even do those things in the actual app for which zaps are created. This situation is coming to surface, because in our case we have users or our app who have different level of functional access (fairly common case), for example only few users are allowed to access financial data and events, now I don’t want to show gotPayment trigger in Zapier integration to all users but may be to select few. Similar problem can be with the “actions” as not all users seeing action items while building a zap, can be authorized to actually create in our app.

Filtering Results Based on inputData

I’m building a custom integration for myself. I’m making an API call to return some shipments with tracking info. That’s all working fine. However, I want the user to be able to set a value for inputData.store_code and then the results be filtered based on their set value. For example, the unfiltered results would look like this: { "sales_order_number": "SO-860444", "merchant_order_number": "186C-1088", "tracking_number": "666000987", "amount": "0.00", "shipped_via": "FedEx Home Delivery", "shipped_on": "2022-07-15T19:32:17Z" }, { "sales_order_number": "SO-1042038", "merchant_order_number": "226C-1025", "tracking_number": "666000123", "amount": "0.00", "shipped_via": "FedEx Ground", "shipped_on": "2022-07-15T19:27:21Z" } I’d want the user to set their store code to something like “186C” and then for the orders to be filtered based on that string appearing in the merchant_order_number.What’s the best way to go about this?
