Sending multiple requests in perform function

I’m trying to collect data from multiple API calls in a single trigger. It works fine if I’m collecting data through one API request, but when I try collecting data through multiple requests, the perform function returns, without waiting for the requests to be completed. Am I doing something incorrectly, or is it that the perform function doesn’t allow sending multiple requests?

How to implement multi level account selection while creating a zap?

My requirement: I have a web app which collects leads. Whenever a need lead is created in my app, I push it to my Zap. From my Zap I was able to send an email to my Gmail account with lead info.    To fetch the lead info I defined my output fields, which looks something like this. { "name": "", "email": "", "mobile": ""} I was able to reference there fields in my email body.    I have a new requirement, users in my webapp have their own clients. When I select an account, I need to show the list of Clients of that user and they will select one Client to move ahead.  To achieve this I created a New Trigger to fetch the list of Clients linked to that user. Here is a screenshot of my Input Designer settings.   Here is the response when I call this Trigger. [ {"id": 123, "contact_name":"John"}, {"id": 456, "contact_name":"Smith"}, {"id": 789, "contact_name":"Roger"} ]   I was successfully able to fire the trigger after my account linking step.  In the final Zap, when I select my account,

Connection label based on OAuth token data

Hello! I’m trying to implement an integration, and I’m stuck on the Connection label (meaning, it doesn’t show up necessary information).   I’d like to extract data from JWT token I receive from OAuth provider and use it as the Connection label, but I found no documentation on this subject. Is it actually possible?   I think, requesting user additional information, in order to put it into the label, is clumsy, especially when we have params in tokens. Best regards, Alexander Mustafin

Subscription required for creating custom integrations with custom triggers

Hello, I am a new user currently on the basic free plan and I am wondering which subscription level would allow me to develop some custom integrations.  I built a nodejs app which I host in github and trigger on an aws ec2 cloud instance. I would like to develop integration with google sheet and google drive so that I can provide custom input to my app directly from the spreadsheet, and direct the output from the aws ec2 into google drive.  I was looking at this help article: https://platform.zapier.com/docs/triggers I do not have this UI available currently under the FREE subscription and so I cannot create custom triggers. Whenever I go to create a ZAP, the options available for me for triggers are already pre-populated. For example, if I want to trigger a file change on github whenever a field changes in a google sheet, I cannot do so, because the triggers and actions are limited: Which subscription do I need?  Is it the Starter, Professional, Team…?

Creating Action with nested data

I am working on developing an app with the regular builder and not CLI. I need to pass contact information from sources like forms or CRMs.    I can add the Action of add contact and use the API resource of Subscribers. I am able to pass the email, but nothing else.    I tries using the Line Item Group, like I did for Order Information (another Action), but there seems to be more nested data. I see Custom Fields, Field Name and Value.  Is there a way to do this without using CLI?   Here is the example API documentation:   POST https://edapi.campaigner.com/v1/Subscribers HTTP/1.1 ApiKey: 67c27802-f234-4196-b44c-460245d4978e Content-Type: application/json { "EmailAddress": "jason@example.net", "CustomFields": [ { "FieldName": "FirstName", "Value": "Bob" }, { "FieldName": "Age", "Value": "32" }, { "FieldName": "OtherDate", "Value": "6/13/2011" } ], "Publications": [ 1, 3 ]}

using the session-auth example's bundle.authData.sessionKey variable in other request's

Hello,    I was wondering how the bundle.authData.sessionKey variable is used in the session-auth example. Within the authentication.js there is the bundle with the fields username and API key to request the sesson key from an API ( getSessionKey() ) , then this variable is able to be used in a subsequent request ( includeSessionKeyHeader() ). how does this seperate bundle (that originally only had the API key and username) update to include the sessionKey? and subsequently how can this sessionKey variable be used in other scripts, like the recipe example, to parse the session key in the header of the request?

Can the Zap Name be passed in bundle sent with Subscribe

I am upgrading an App from legacy platform to new latest platform. In my original App the name of the Zap was passed in the bundle sent with Subscription. This was used stored in the target application to allow administrators to track and manage subscriptions. The new platform seems to only send the Zap ID. Is there a way to include the Zap Name and if not is this something you could add back in the future.   Legacy Bundle had Zap Name "bundle": {    "zap": {        "live": false,        "link": 'https://zapier.com/app/editor/89492508',        "name": 'My Test Zap',        "user": '',    },}   New Bundle does not appear to have name "bundle": {    "authData": {    },    "inputData": {    },    "inputDataRaw": {    },    "meta": {        "isLoadingSample": false,        "isFillingDynamicDropdown": false,        "isTestingAuth": false,        "isPopulatingDedupe": false,        "limit": -1,        "page": 0,        "zap": {            "id": 89492508        }    },    "targetUrl": "

Meaning of Publishing Errors - Needs Successful Task

Good morning, I’m experiencing some issues on the developer dashboard with the Publishing tasks. I am aware there are some outstanding issues being addressed in that section of the platform but do not believe this to be a duplicate. I have created successful Zaps for my triggers that perform the expected tests in the Zap Creation process as expected. When I return to the publishing tasks and re-run the validation, the validation process doesn’t seem to register my Zap has been created. For instance, I have created a trigger that returns a record set of types of sources. Then, I create a Zap that uses that trigger (get_lead_sources in this case). The Zap functions as expected. When I re-run the validation, I would expect the steps related to a Zap not being created to go away. Instead, I see the following screen:     Thanks in advance for any insights you may be able to provide.

Required "API Documentation" when using REST hooks

To publish an integration, you’re required to provide an API Documentation URL. Unfortunately, I don’t find any further information about what you’re expected to provide. Since we’re using REST Hooks, I’m not sure what we’re supposed to do.

Handling custom fields in workflow

We have multi tenant application and each tenant has ability to create their own custom fields based on their business needs. There's no limit on number of fields one tenant can create. So far we have seen few hundreds of custom fields for each tenant. So tenant A can create custom field X1 and tenant B can create custom field Y1. We are trying to figure out how we can plan to build both triggers & actions so that we can effectively involve custom fields in both triggers & actions. So when tenant A uses the zap, his custom fields (more than one) will be involved and similarly for tenant B her custom fields (more than one) gets involved. Each of these tenants when using the zap should be able to map custom fields of our application with other application like we do when we are dealing with normal/system fields. Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Action works but a zap says Bargle!

Hi just trying to create my first actions and zap here so I might be missing something big so bear with me :-) When creating my action in the UI it looks good and all test just work. But when I create a Zap out of my action using Google Sheets as a trigger it, it fails with “Bargle. We had trouble getting a matching lookup. :-(” and no logs that can guide me in any meaningful way! I have no idea where the problem lies..   So this is what I have at the moment in few steps to make it clear what I´m doing   Steps My google sheet  Where I hook that up to my action  I “Test and Review” with the data my action picks up from the sheet (so that works)   And hitting “Test & Review”  I get this… “Bargle. We ad trouble getting a matching lookup. :-(“     What does this mean? Is it on my end, google end or zapier end? Here the UI is massively missing logs...   For more information creating my action seems to be just fine like shown below     where the response is

How to resolve output "friendly name/labels" in "Trigger" automatically

Hello everyone, I’m facing an issue related “Output result” from my “Trigger”. Example: My “Trigger” will return result:  “{   "id": "3cc53c6a-c1be-4b35-8d95-4cb6b10df0f2",   "name": "Product One",   "customField68b13c15-dca4-4379-b886-e330ceb5b366": "0",   "customField90d4edc4-6ad7-4369-a896-294589326239": "1",   "customField0c720c0b-fee1-4b2f-91c1-94c8797f34b8": "1",   "customField2b8276ce-b4ec-4577-a1e3-834aad278426": "",   "customField621d5f06-5d32-44e1-b1d9-27616221b66c": "" }” I expect it will show “friendly name” for all custom fields in “Next step” of Zap apps. instead of “customfieldIds” We have hundreds of “customFields”, so we can’t input manually one by one “Output Label” for each custom fields. Please let me know how can solve the highlighted issue. Thank you.

custom formatting function not working as expected

I’m updating fattura24 App for Zapier. In my scripting.js file I added a function to format numbers like this:   function numberFormat(number) { var strResult = +number .toString() .replace(/,/g, '.') .replace(/\.(?=.*\.)/g, '') .replace(/[^0-9.]/g, ''); return Number(strResult);} I sent two test values: first “10,00”, second “1,000.00”. In the first scenario I should get “10” as a result, but I actually got “1000”; in the second I should get “1000” but I got a NaN. Any suggestions? Thanks

Basic Auth with 'basic token' instead of username password

The APi I am trying to connect to requires a header “authorization” “basic xxxxxxx” (where “xxxx” is a generated token).   When I select basic authentcation it requires a user and password, selecting API key allows me to add  the two fields that were used to generate the token needed in authorization header. Neither work.   How do I go about setting up an API connection that just uses an authorization header as indicated above?

Dynamic resources / creates

Is there any way to create resources, triggers, creates, searches dynamically in a CLI app? We have a standard database structure but customers can add custom fields and custom record types. The custom fields can be handled by Zapier but custom record types would need to be added dynamically after we have identified the customer when they initially log in.
