I don’t know which authorization option to use in the zapier platform builder.   I’d be find with doing this with webhook, but I can’t seem to find how to pass the key and pem files to zapier.

"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

How to use zap_meta_human_now in API Configuration

Hi, I would like to know on how can I get the current time or previous time the trigger was polled by Zapier.. There is “zap_meta_human_now” to get current time.. However, I can use it only as a parameter.. I need the value as a default parameter available in API Configuration Form/Console Mode..

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.

Object returned from API call causes "Invalid API Response: - Results must be an array" error

I am working to build a custom app integration in Zapier. The API I am working with returns results as an object, not an array like Zapier expects.    I am using Code Mode in Zapier. Here is my code:   const options = { url: `https://myfakeurl.com/${bundle.inputData.PartnerID}`, method: 'GET', headers: { 'X-PARTNER-ID': bundle.inputData.PartnerID }, params: { 'PartnerID': bundle.inputData.PartnerID }};return z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const results = z.JSON.parse(response.content); // You can do any parsing you need for results here before returning them return results; }); I get the results from this API call in Postman as follows:   { "ID": "1234567", "Prefix": "", "FirstName": "John", "MiddleName": "", "LastName": "Doe", "Suffix": "", "Salutation": "", "Spouse": "", "SpouseLastName": "", "Company": "", "Address1": "123 Main Street", "Address2": "", "City": "San Diego", "StateProv": "CA", "PostalCode": "90210-3438", "CountryCode": "US", "Pa

Platform UI date filter today

I’m trying to integrate a new app in the Platform UI but its GET request doesn’t come in reverse chronological order and has pagination. In order to get the last results I thought in filtering by date. Can I insert a function to get today’s date and the last day in the place of the dates below? params: { 'apikey': bundle.authData.apikey, 'filters': 'dataEmissao[06/05/2020 TO 07/05/2020]' }

Can I create an a Zapier app without authentification?

Hello, I am creating a new app on Zapier for our company Shipup. The goal of the app is to simplify the connection of our webhooks to other apps on Zapier. Here is an example of the logic we would like to follow: We receive a new “event” from one of our partner We send a webhook to the URL specified by the client (a zap url in this case) The Zap is configured to run specific actions according to the payload of the webhook The issue is that Zapier seems to force a user authentification when creating a new app but we don’t have any since we are only using webhooks. So I’m blocked on the first phase of the app creation and can’t find the option to set the authentification to “no-auth“. Would anyone from the community be able to provide some guidance on how to navigate around this issue? Thank you! Baptiste

Trouble getting Google API refresh token for custom integration.

I am creating a custom integration using the Google Calendar API. I can get the oauth2 authentication to work initially, but it stops working after about an hour. I am trying to get a refresh token, but my guess is that something in that process is not working.    I have setup these URL parameters: response_type = code approval_prompt = force (I’ve tried ‘consent’ but same results) access_type = offline   How can I get my authorization to stick?

Using Zapier as for a production Web App - Thoughts?

Hello community!   I’m not coming with any real questions, I’m more interested to know how you may feel about using Zapier as a key aspect for the back-end of your SaaS product or web app. Zapier in a production back-end I’ve personally been having trouble reconciling my thoughts on this, I want to be in full control of my back-end in all aspects, even if using Zapier could save me time and energy. I don’t know if it’s a pride thing, a control thing or maybe a matter of wanting to hone my craft and feeling like using Zapier for that purpose would almost be ‘cheating’. I love Zapier and I’ll gladly use it to automate tasks whenever possible, except in this specific context. I’m interested to know if anybody else here struggles with that mindset, or on another note, are there some things that you would never do without Zapier again now that you’ve used it?   The Firebase Effect Not all that long ago, I had noticed that tons of services were outsourcing OAuth to Firebase. Now it’s become

Validation error doesn't have enough details

I’m getting this validation error Field "Foo" has inconsistent type, "string" in sample of Zap 84344953 while "integer" in output field definition But this Zap is not mine, and I have no idea why it would have a string.  If I could get some more fields for the same item/sample, that would be useful.  Is that possible?   Also, when I press “re-run validation” it doesn’t seem to hit the server.  If it’s validating a stale response, then I’ve no idea how I can clear the error.

API Authorization endpoint

Hello, The API library I am working with does not have a specific API endpoint for user credential verification. All of the available APIs are basically queries to the database I am connecting to.  The API requires an API key, as well as a user name and password (all of which I have). Is there a way to have Zapier authenticate the account without a user verification API endpoint?  I asked the API developers and they said to try using any of the API calls and see if it returned a 200 server response. I tried this, but since all of the API calls involve a query Zapier returns an error.  The API documentation is here if it helps: https://connect.aegispremier.com/help Also, if a user authentication API is required is there an easy way to have this implemented? Ideally a “drop in and go” (or as close as possible) solution? I realize that this would probably depend on the programing language(s) used for the API, but I don’t have that info at this time. I ‘d like to try and make it as easy as

Need help setting up a Zap with my companies Back-Office tool...

I want to set up a zap for my companies back-office tool - we have clients that submit domain names to us for Appraisals & for brokerage - Currently every time I want to check to see if a new name has been submitted i need to manually log into the back office (which is on a VPN) and refresh the page to see if any new domain names have been submitted to us for appraisal or brokerage. We do have an API so there must be an automated way for me to get a zap or notification via text or email every time a new domain name has been submitted instead of manually checking. Can you please help? Please any and all help would be greatly appreciated Sincerely, Jason Edited by a moderator to remove personal information.

Dropdown field in "Connect an Account" form

Hello :)   Im currently setting up a new integration and Im using Session Auth aside from username, password  and api_key, I also need the user to provide the country_code when creating a new connection, because we have different API for each country e.g au-api.domain.com for Australia us-api.domain.com for United States nz-api.domain.com for New Zealand uk-api.domain.com for United Kingdom The api url is being built dynamically based on the value of bundle.authData.country_code like   const options = { url: bundle.authData.country_code + '-api.domain.com/auth',   The Problem   when the user sets up a new connection, the country_code field shows up as a plain text field   our manager wants that field to be a dropdown which contains each of those countries (vs having to type manually the codes) I’ve been digging the documentation for quite sometime now, https://zapier.com/developer/documentation/v2/app-dev-guide/#authentication-configuration but cant find a way on how to make it a drop
