How long is data kept for in Zapier? And how secure is it?

I’ve created a zap that gets some data from one endpoint and sends it to another endpoint. My question is how long does that data exist for in Zapier? Does it only exist for the lifetime of that one Zap run?  I also use Zapier storage, and I clear the storage once a week - after clearing Zapier storage I’m assuming the data is completely gone from Zapier?  Is the data that the Zap makes use of secure whilst it is in Zapier? I know any handling of data in code steps or our own integrations is up to us to make sure it is secure, but if one step of the Zap has a GET request for example and it retrieves data from an endpoint. Will that data be kept secure as long as it exists in Zapier?

Rest Hook: check when POST to targetURL is still working

Hi!First of all thanks for your support!Copying question from here, since the developer forum seems better fit for it:---I am trying to setup an application using Rest Hooks and at the moment I have everything working as follows1 - When a user sets up a Zap then Zapier calls the subscribe hook endpoint from our API and we save the targetUrl internally2 - When a user disables or deletes a Zap then Zapier calls the unsubscribe hook and we delete the targetUrl associated with the subscriber.id passed on the unsubscribeMy question, would be on how to check if a given targetUrl is still `working`. The reason to ask for this, is related to the fact the unsubscribe flow from (2) might fail, but Zapier would still disable the Zap since it would not wait for the `unsubscribe` operation to be successfully fullfilled.The problem we might face here, is that if for any reason our API is unreachable at the time of an unsubscribe, we might have `targetUrls` in our system that are no longer `active`,

Best way to display a key value pair input using a dynamic field.

My API requires an input similar to this. { [ { "dataType": "uint8", "value": "255" }, { "dataType": "uint16", "value": "1234" }, { "dataType": "uint8[]", "value": "["255","254"]" } ]}We are mapping a data type to a value. Using a Dynamic input type i have generated this type of UI which requires the user to declare all the types in one item area and then separately declare all the values which is not ideal. Is there a way that i can group the key and value together and allow multiple inputs?

Fields in zaps

Hi,We are developing an integration for Zapier. It's a CRM. We are implementing the 'add contact' action.A contact in our CRM has, by default, four fields: contact_id, contact_first_name, contact_last_name and contact_email.None are required, so we're adding all four in the form editor.Our clients can customize contacts with new fields specific to their companies.We cannot know them at this time. Will our customers be able to add new fields when using this integration in a Zap?For example, our client has added the 'country' field to their contact. Will our client be able to add the country field when creating a zap even though it is not defined in our integration?Thank you

Show dynamic fields via API based on selected value

I am building an app in Zapier GUI,First I will show a dynamic dropdown and user will select a template from the list.Second I will use the selected value to make an API call to get the fields. Please note that each templates have different field types and more than 5 fields. Eg: User select the Real Estate Template. We will call the API with selected Real Estate Template ID to get the fields. This template have different fields such as Text, Select, TextArea, Boolean ect. I’ve gone through many articles here but none of them helpful.

How do I refer to an external asset?

I’m building an integration that will merge data into a (presumably static) template, and I’m trying to figure out how to let the user point my app to the template.  I’ve considered these approaches: When the user configures my action, he clicks an Upload Template input field, which opens a standard file dialog and lets him upload a local file.  The Zap stores this file and makes it available to my code as some dehydrated reference.  Unfortunately an inputField of type “file” doesn’t open such a dialog, so this doesn’t seem to work.   The input field instead says “Choose Template” and provides a way for the user to select a file from Google Drive or whatever other Connections he has configured in Zapier.  Unfortunately the input widget offers Google Drive only when the Zap uses it as a trigger or a prior action; simply having set up a Connection isn’t enough.  Even if he adds an action he wouldn’t otherwise need, this seems an ugly workaround.   The input field is instead a string fiel

How to use async/wait to allow multiple, synchronous, API calls in the authorization test area of a custome app?

I tried this methold here as i need to make muiltple API calls in the test section of the Auothorization area in a custom app. However…1.  When I create a new connection the two api calls run twice or duplicate themselves but when then hit the test connection after the initial authenticaton has taken place they run just once each. How do I prevent the duplicate calls when a user is making a new connection?2.  As soon as i introduce multiple calls the meta data stops saving to the connection as a label for the connection? How do you fix this?Zapier also flags the provided code in in the from post below as missing before statments on line 24,26, and 33 in their editor so not sure if that is an issue?Tried both of these approaches below. Any advice appreciated.

Custom Validation Function for Input fields in Dynamic Dropdowns

Hey team, As seen in the image below, say I have a field XYZ and its set to required, if I do not select a value for this field, it shows a error message in red text describing the issue. Is it possible to write my own input validation function, say checkIfAllowed [which could possibly be an API call]? The flow will look something like: 1. I select some option for the input field XYZ, this function should execute and depending on the result, an error message can be shown to the user, say “Not allowed”. Or in positive case, the rest of the dropdown should show. I see I can use altersDynamicFields  for dynamically updating the rest of the dropdown. Can I in any way show a custom error message if the validation fails? Thanks

How to Abstract multiple Sequential and ASync APIs (Each api need 5-6 minutes)

I am trying to create a zap to abstract multiple sequential api calls.The API Flow -Trigger External API-1, Wait for it to complete (might take 5 minutes), API-1 finishes Trigger the API-2 (with some data from API-1 response), wait for API-2 to finish Trigger the API-3 (with some data from API-2 response), wait for API-3 to finish Trigger the API-4 (with some data from API-3 response), wait for API-4 to finish We now have final response, and should return the response.Question:I know about webhook and polling can help me for waiting for ONE api. But it looks like I can handle only one waiting operation, and cannot do it for the multiple such waiting operations Is it feasible to do inside zapier (when I am trying to create the zap using CLI), as a single zap.
