Account Expired notice when API request limit is exceeded

Hi, We at TeamworkIQ have notice some of our users are experiencing their accounts are shown as “Expired” when they exceed the API limit we set. It makes sense to show them that there is an issue with their account when this happens, but is there a way to customize the message that they get when this happens? So that the user knows that the issue is related to this limit and don’t get confused about some expiring time happening. If you can point us to any documentation related to that will be very helpful. Thank you!

Is there a way to set my trigger responses id property manually?

I am building an integration in the developers ui. I have a trigger that is working well and is returning results as expected. The only issue that I am having is that the id property is within a nested object within my array so zapier is giving me the “result missing the ‘id’ property” error. Does anyone have any advice on how to tell zapier to look within the nested object for the unique id? Response Content:{ "identifier": { "id": 190328303 }, "lot": { "lotSize1": 0.18 }}

How to hide a dropdown or make it disabled before a preceding dropdown has been filled up?

Hi. I just wanted to ask if it was possible to make a dynamic dropdown invisible to the zap creator until a condition was met? Like, it will only show up once another button was clicked or when a preceding dropdown's value was matched? Also, to disable a dynamic dropdown unless the preceding dropdown was filled up already?

Has anyone dealt with Survey Monkey Apply (not regular SM - smapply.io)

Trying to make a simple Zap from Survey Monkey Apply (smapply.io). It seems to be hell on earth for developers. Documentation is garbled and non-existant on Survey Monkey Apply’s end and I am having a hell of a time dealing with this. They also keep “updating” things, which is extra fun.NOTE: It is NOT like regular Survey Monkey, so I don’t need simple advice on how to do that. This is specifically an ask for Survey Monkey Apply.

Authentication Challenged

I am building an custom integration for an app called Cherwell.  Per the documentation, they use OAuth 2.0.  Per my review, I think Session Authentication will work better as they simply need to get the Access Token.  Here is the problem; I can use Postman to retrieve the access and refresh token, but when I try in Zapier UI Builder, The response is status = 404.  Hoping another set of eyes can find my issue.Postman: Response 200 and info I need Zapier:

Setting the value of bundle field and passing it to other methods in the Zapier Legacy code

I am using the Zapier Legacy code and I have created a computed field inside the Authentication. This computed field is updated with a value in the check_pre_roll method and I want to use the updated field on other upload and update methods but the value is null. How can I save the new value in the bundle field (bundle.auth.location) from within the check_pre_roll method and then use it in any other pre/post-roll methods? The default value is null.

Need Callback/API for Alert Status triggered by our App

Hi there,I'm working on Zapier Integration for an App (Outfy) on Zapier which helps in Sharing Post to Instagram Bussiness Account. I've successfully created a trigger from my side which sends the Image URL & caption to Zapier. In trigger response, I received this.{"id": "eeb23846-4a68-41d3-94ac-5a36fb3a9df7", "request_id": "5f6de14c-5bd5-4c98-8e58-309c5dc66da0", "attempt": "5f6de14c-5bd5-4c98-8e58-309c5dc66da0", "status": "success"}But my issue is, whether there any way to find that the Action is successfully triggered or not. For Action in Zapier, we are using Instagram Bussiness App.I can see, Post is successfully shared on Instagram, and on Zapier Task Log it also showing success but is there any callback or API using which we can find the response of Action associated to the trigger which we send.Please help me out here.

Restrict account to use Zaps

Hello Zapier team.In my app I have two types of user account: starter and pro. Only pro accounts may use Zaps of my integration.What is the correct way to restrict starter user account to use Zaps? Would it be possible to mark it as RESTRICTED (instead of EXPIRED) when choosing account?Currently I am checking type of user in test function (authentication.js file), and if it is not pro account I throw an error which resolves in immediate account expiration (see attachment).

Hi there!I developed a custom integration and it works very well. I can create it, add a trigger, etc.The only “bug” I have is that, when I try to delete a Zap containing this integration, I get:“Error deleting Zap: invalid json response body at https://zapier.com/api/v4/zaps/XXX/ reason: Unexpected end of JSON input”Does someone already had the problem?

Get JSON from github repository

Hello!I’m looking for a solution, which will allow me to get configuration from JSON file that is committed to private github repository and perform some actions once it’s changed. Basically, I need to go following:if there’s a new commit to master branch then, download raw JSON file committed to current master branch if raw JSON has been changed since last zap execution, then, do some data-processing and use it in later steps. I’m currently stuck on step 2 - how can I make it work?

Does each trigger use a distinct webhook URL?

My app has multiple triggers that I want to be able to tell Zapier about, all via the REST hooks.Based on exploring the Platform UI, it seems that for each trigger, Zapier will subscribe to a different webhook. This means my app should have different REST hook subscription URLs, e.g. foobar.com/api/trigger-one and foobar.com/api/trigger-two, is that correct? Also that Zapier will provide a different webhook URL for each trigger, which my app will save and use depending on which trigger has triggered, correct?In other words, the specific trigger type is indicated by the REST hook subscription URLs themselves and the callback webhooks, as opposed to via a GET parameter or something inside the payload sent to the webhook, yes?

Dynamic / custom fields passing to the api

I am using input fields and dynamic fields. I have been used array of object into dynamic fields code like  var custom_fields=[{"key":"leadstest_cstm"},{"key":"leads_default_cstm"},{"key":"leads_default_currency_cstm"},{"key":"leads_default_numeric_cstm"},{"key":"lead_serial_cstm"},{"key":"offer_amount_cstm"},{"key":"pricelist_cstm"},{"key":"short_bio_cstm"}] The dynamic fields are displaying along with input fields when i creating zaps. The problem is when i going to “Send data” and click on the “Retest action” for testing the input data is passing to the api which i have mentioned into the API configuration code and saving to our crm application but custom field’s data is not saving i.e custom fields data is not passing to the api. consider the following sample code in api configuration: body: {     'apiSecret': bundle.authData.apiSecret,    'apiKey': bundle.authData.apiKey,        "request":{        'first_name':bundle.inputData.first_name,     'last_name':bundle.inputData.last_name

Zapier CLI testing

Hi,I am new to Zapier and try to make a Zapier CLI integration work.I have created an integration with Zapier UI, converted it with zapier convert, and I can successfully “zappier push” it back.However I have issues when doing “zapier test”:I receive a 401 error from my server when each unit test is runIn fact, it is normal, because the unit test passes “Authorization: Bearer {{bundle.authData.access_token}}” litterally, without replacing the access_token with its actual value And the session authentication (which should return an access_token from the email/password) is not even called from the tests.So I have 2 questions:how to manage the tests so that it uses a valid access_token? how to make sure that {{bundle.authData.access_token}} is replaced with its value?These are probably dummy questions, but I could not find any answer in the documentation. Many thanks!
