Welcome!The Developer area of the Zapier community is a place for dev-to-dev discussion about connecting your API to the Zapier Platform, and integrating Zapier into your product with our Partner API and embed SDK. Bring your questions as you get started with our developer tools, building and testing your integration. Share your expertise as a Zapier developer by answering questions and sharing your tips. While Zapier engineers will certainly be hanging out here and participating in conversations, this forum is driven by community participation. When you ask questions here be sure to share enough context so that another developer without access to the private details of your account can provide an answer that’s generally applicable to other developers with the same question. So when should you ask a question here, and when should you contact Zapier support?Great questions for this community: “How can I do ____ with the Zapier developer tools?” For example, “use my GraphQL API to
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.
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
Hello All, I am trying to create private Zap with basic authentication but I am not getting any data in php side to authentication. So how can I authenticate specific user in my database using custom zap.
I have a Zapier that is using input fields and and a dynamic field that is pulling and gathering custom field data from an email marketing platform.Normally when I pass the information, I use the Key from the Input Fields.The Dynamic Field does not have one.Image of input fieldsI am also adding my code to pass the input fields that I have so far. I am also going to need to pass more than one item for the dynamic content, not sure if that would be an if statement and how to do that.Dynamic Field Code:// Configure a request to an endpoint of your api that// returns custom field meta data for the authenticated// user. Don't forget to congigure authentication!const options = { url: 'https://edapi.example.com/v1/Database', method: 'GET', headers: { 'X-API-KEY': bundle.authData.ApiKey }, params: { 'ApiKey': bundle.authData.ApiKey }};return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const results = response.json; var col = results.DatabaseColumns.filter((item)
I have seen several posts on the forum asking how to perform multiple http requests in the same action/trigger. Generally, these need to be run in order so that results from one can be used in the following request. Some of the answers were a bit complex, so here’s a simplified version that you can use to run requests synchronously.const options1 = { url: `https://${bundle.authData.client_domain}/api/rest/v2/grant_request/65}`, method: 'GET', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${bundle.authData.access_token}` }, params: { cols: '["amount_requested"]' },};const options2 = { url: `https://${bundle.authData.client_domain}/api/rest/v2/grant_request/1188}`, method: 'GET', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${bundle.authData.access_token}` }, params: { cols: '["amount_requested"]' },};// W
My app requires the following auth flow:User gets redirected to a URL on my website. They login, grant access etc. In the end the get redirected back to the original URL, but in the query params there is specified a token and some extra information about the user. (Similar to how Spotify does it)I looked over all the options for authentication on Zapier, but it seems like only Oauth has the option of redirecting to an external URL for authentication. How can I solve this problem?Also, is there a way of unit testing the authentication?

I would like to do an HTTP request from within a ZAP. I don’t get any errorrs but the Zap finishes before the HTTP request is done. I am pretty sure that is true as the console.log lines to not appear in the meta output. Is there any way to do an HTTP request inside a zap?
I am building an app in Zapier GUI, I need to fetch the fields based on dropdown selection that user will make. I had a parent dropdown, After the user action on parent I want to show child dropdown with values according to the parent dropdown that user has selected. Can Any one help me how to solve this.
Once Zocuments has generated a document using Zapier, I wish to provide the available binary file to an Action Input for the user to proceed with in Zapier.I only see the following options presented to me, File seems to be missing?Thanks in advance.
Hello, I am trying to publish my app, but I am unable to do so because of the remaining Publishing Tasks: Action A needs a successful task Action B needs a successful task Full description of both tasks: One Successful Task for Each Trigger/Search/Action To ensure you have tested every visible trigger/search/action, there should be at least one successful task in at least one of the integration admin's task histories for each visible trigger/search/action (Error Code T001) Both actions are successfully being used in Zaps created by other users - thus having successful tasks. Both actions are also successfully being used in Zaps created by me (the integration admin) - thus again having successful tasks. Am I missing something here? How do I get these Publishing Tasks to register as completed so that I may publish my app? Thanks in advance!
My client wishes to remove the ~5 minute delay from Quickbooks to Airtable via a Zap I have set up for them. I have two options as I see it: Option A. create my own application for Quickbooks Online on the Zapier platform, but from what I'm reading that would not shorten the 5 minute polling time. Option B create an app on the intuit/Quickbooks platform and have that call a webhook (in Zapier) each time an object is created/modified etc. My questions:Am I correct that polling triggers in an application I build for Zapier would still operate at the ~5 timeframe?Anyone have experience with using Webhooks from QBO to Zapier, any "gotchas" or heads up that I should know about?Thanks!
Hello can you make the "insert-button" Attached to the height of the screen? That it scrolls down with the code field. This would create a higher usabilty and give us much more speed. Thanks Sebastian
I am trying to create a post request that returns an array of gross pay items. I thought I did it correctly and it said that my request was successful, but seconds later I got this big red alert that said “Cannot convert undefined or null value to object (throttled).” I have attached the return code I am using and the model of the data it should be returning. I also attached a photo of the error message. Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? Here is the Model of the data that should be returned. I am trying to pull in only the grossPayItems Array.Here is the code I am using to pull in the grossPayItems. I have tried wrapping it in an array and not wrapping it in an array with the same results both times.Here is the error message it is giving.
While the new editor looks nice, it doesn't seem to speed up any power-users, and the long-awaited "rearranging & duplicating of actions/paths" sounds like it isn't in the immediate future.Since you allow for import/export, and the file is pretty readable for anyone that is used to looking at JSON/basic coding, I was wondering if the team could build a super barebones editor view that you could flip to which would just show the raw code. You wouldn't need to invest tons of resources into allowing for debug functionality, that onus can be placed on the power-users.Spoke with someone on the product team about it and they thought it was a good idea and wouldn't add a ton of development efforts, while also appeasing many of your power-users' frustrations. Could something like this be feasible?Thanks!
We have gotten some interest in our integration but I would love to know how others have gone about marketing to existing Zapier users.If you have any tips for getting people to try your integration I would love to know any to help us out.Our integration:https://zapier.com/apps/easycsv/integrationsThanks!
Hello!I have registered a development app relating to creating document metadata in our app (Mendeley) and am able to make simple requests to our POST endpoint.I.e., I accept a user input field called title and this successfully translates into a payload of {title”: “userinputhere”}So far so good.What I’m trying to do now is design the Zapier input such that the user is able to specify an array of objects with multiple attributes, specifically"authors": [ { "first_name": "userinputhere", "last_name": "userinputhere", }, { "first_name": "userinputhere", "last_name": "userinputhere", } ],Note that there may be any number of authors of a document, and the idea would be that a user could systematically identify author values to use with a pattern match step to extract author names from e.g. a formatted list of references in a text file.Well, as a non-developer here I am so stuck 😀A few questions:This doesn’t seem to be possible in the visual Input Designer
I’m working on a private integration that has uses an ssl certificates and private key for authentication. 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.
