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.

How can I connect other Google Calendars to my zap?

I'm using Google Calendar with Zapier Webhooks. I've connected my Google Calendar to my zap but I would like to use other people's calendars who sign in with social sign-in on my web app. How can this be done?

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.

"There is an issue" in Errors panel after selecting account

I am the developer of an app. My users see this type of error in the Errors panel of the zap after choosing an account. How can I debug the root cause of this issue? The “Monitoring” page of the platform UI does not show any errors, and it shows only a line chart with 2XX and “bundle” data points. Errors are returned from our API as 200s, which is unfortunately not easy to change. `zapier logs` shows only an unrelated issue from yesterday.  Users are still able to proceed with their zaps normally despite the error.  Thanks in advance, Ian

Connected account not updating after consent is given to zapier in integration

In my zapier integration built using zapier’s CLI, after a user connects their account successfully, the zap step does not display the newly connected account until after a user refresh of the page. Other integrations do not have this problem, so I’m wondering if there’s something more we need to do after the request to exchange an authorization code for an access token.
