"Needs a successful task" warning prevents publishing App even though I created Zap and tested

Hi Zapier team,   I saw that a few other developers ran into the same problem. I created an App and wanted to publish it now. I tested and it + created at least 5 Zaps, nevertheless it shows me the following warnings in the side menu and prevents me from publishing. Could you please resolve this also for my account or help me here?     I know this whole error validation is important for you to keep the quality of submissions high, but honestly from a developer experience this was pretty annoying since the validation was very buggy and didn’t properly work even when I fixed some of the bugs. You should probably look into this again with a product manager how to improve the experience here. Though I did like the Go to trigger feature.   Best, Mathias

Pagination - How can I store and provide a non-numeric page identifier?

(Also posted at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62351427/pagination-how-can-i-store-and-provide-a-non-numeric-page-identifier) I am trying to add pagination to my Zapier trigger. The API I am using for the trigger supports pagination, but not using a page number in the traditional sense (ie. page 1,2,3,...). Instead, the API response includes a key (ie. "q1w2e3r4") which should be passed as a parameter to the next request to get the next page of results. From looking at the docs, I can use {{bundle.meta.page}} (which defaults to 0 unless otherwise set). I am trying to set {{bundle.meta.page}} in the code editor, with an example shown below: const options = { url: 'company_xyz.com/api/widgets', method: 'GET', ..., params: { ..., 'pagination_key': bundle.meta.page, }}return z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const json_response = response.json; widgets = json_response.widgets ... bundle.meta.page = json_response["nex

RESThookes - using subscribe data in unsubscribe request

Hey there, I have what may be a simple question, but it’s been challenging to self-service an answer.   Scenario: I’m creating our first Zapier integration. For now, I’m focusing on triggers, which correlate to several webhook types that our platform offers. Each webhook type gets its own specific trigger. I’m also using the visual/web builder as I’m not actually a developer myself.   Our Subscribe request: { "data":{ "attributes":{ "subscriptions":[ "course_completed_events" //corresponds to selected trigger ], "url": bundle.targetUrl } }}   Our system returns the following: { "data": { "type": "webhook_endpoints", "id": "3c0cd54b-e116-4dff-ad40-18958e59841b", "attributes": { "url": "URL here", "subscriptions": [ "course_completed_events" //corresponds to selected trigger ] } }}   The Unsubscribe request should look like this: DELETE {baseURL}/

Sending and receiving data

http://joxi.ru/8AnEyO1i76KOb2http://joxi.ru/KAxBEN0U1xwNnm I use KEY API authentication. I also have a Site url field. Can I use this value in the future for the Perform list? http://joxi.ru/VrwE0NGi8yg9G2 As I understand it, I have to send data to this hook when I create something to the trigger. Then why do we need the Perform List option? I can not understand the differences between hook and perform list option.

Base 64 encoding - authentication for Workflowmax custom app

Hey folks,   Has anyone developed custom apps that authenticate with Workflowmax via OAuth2.0? I’m getting stuck on the base64 encoding requirements (you have to encode the Client ID which doesn’t seem possible in Zapier).   Thanks in advance!

How do I get the test data to work?

Problem I can’t seem to get the test data to work when testing a trigger we’ve created and I’m confused as to how I can dynamically set the sample data.    Background We’ve built a trigger that has a lot of static fields in the sample file. We have the ability to narrow those fields significantly if we could dynamically pull by a parameter. How do I dynamically pull for the sample file? How can I also get the test data trigger to work. Right now it just shows static sample data. We update our database when a zap fires so a request wont work more than once. Im just confused as to how the sample file and the test data should work.

To-dos that must be addressed before your integration can be included in the App Directory: I’m getting a warning to change the Titlecase but when I do, the warning doesn’t go away. I even had just one word in the field - capitalized - and still got the error.

Invalid API Response: - Got a result missing the "id" property

I’ve looked at the four responses on this issue but haven’t been able to get them to work. I’ve reviewed this GitHub entry and have a sense for what it wants me to do, but not how I should implement it. My polling trigger API is trying to substitite my “_id” for the expected “id” element. Much like the other four posts on this problem have suggested. const options = { url: 'https://app.hiro.fm/api/products', method: 'GET', headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${bundle.authData.token}` }, params: { }}return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const result = z.JSON.parse(response.content); result.id = result._id; return result; });/* Also tried this syntax but get the same error *//*return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const result = z.JSON.parse(response.content); return [{ ...result, id: result._id, },];});*/ My response array looks like this. See the _id I’m aiming

How to use OAUTH2 to authenticate to Push data to my App?

I want to build an Integration with Hiro.FM that allows Zapier users to ingest data into their Hiro account. I’ve spent a couple of days reading the Zap developer docs and feel a little overwhelmed. In order for a Zap to authenticate with HIRO, I presume HIRO needs to run an OAuth Provider.  I’ve been able to set this up and can exchange request tokens for access tokens. I’ve not been able  get this authentication working with the Zapier Dashbaord. My first question - How do I use the Zapier redirect URI in my code? My Express route looks like this, Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Allow zap user to input auth/api URL

Is there a way to allow zaps to define which URL to use for authentication and API calls? Using the app designer + env variables gives the “Only absolute URLs are supported” error, so I guess that’s out.

Why Search Action only return one value?

Hey! I created a search type action in my app, in this app, in API Configuration, i defined an API, the api will return an array that contains multiple records from db query, but every time when i run “Test your API Request” in step2,  in response, it only return one record. I’m wondering why? based on the description of API Endpoint, This Search request must return an array.   So what i expected in response should be an array, just like: [   {   k1:v1,   k2:v2   },   {   k1:v1,   k2:v2   } ]   But it returned to me an object:   {   k1:v1,   k2:v2   }

API Key authentication issue with accessing authData

Hey! I am trying to “upgrade” our Zapier integration, and when doing so I have been using the Form mode over the Code mode. Now for some reason my authentication fails when using the authentication in the other triggers which used to work. As you can see from the screenshot below, the authentication is successful: Testing authenticationHowever, when I use the same account and test a trigger to poll another similar resource I get this error:   Polling Trigger request failsI have no clue why this happens. It seems like it not able to access the token stored in bundle.authData, it should be able to right?

Looking for help in parsing XML.  I am familiar with the CLI approach but came across the following https://github.com/zapier/zapier-platform/pull/211 which states "...request with XML response: Note that both before and after currently are only possible in CLI apps, but once zapier/zapier#39899 makes the Middleware tab public for all, this can also be used in visual builder apps." Has this been pushed into production?  If so How do I use it?

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?
