Oauth 2.0 for webhook calls from Zapier

Without writing a whole app to deploy on Zapier is there a way I can do Oauth 2.0 token requests assuming timeouts and refreshing tokens. I'm envisioning the workflow to be something like this:Trigger: Simple webhook (called on a schedule or from another Zap as needed to get information)Step 1: Get the token from Storage appStep 2: Run a webhook to test if the token is valid stillPath A: - if token valid Then do the actual webhook call to get the information needed.Path B: - if token expired or error on the first stepPath B, Step 1: make a call to refresh the tokenPath B, Step 2: store the new token in storagePath B, Step 3: Call the webhook to re-trigger this zap (yikes, possibility for non ending loops here)What am I missing here? Is this doable?

Continue only if event Attendees are not from my Organization

I want to set up a Zap using the Google Calendar New or Updated Event as a trigger and I’d like to get a notification if there are people from outside my company attending the event.In other words - I only want the actions in the Zap to run if there’s someone who isn’t from my organization on the Attendees list. What do you think, how could I do this with Zapier?

How to Get Support on behalf of a client?

What is best way for us as Experts to get support on behalf of our clients using Zapier?I have a client who needs to request an increase in a code action that is hitting the 10 second limitation. I didn't realize the code blocks have 10 second limitations. I assumed they were 30 seconds like all the other connectors.What would best way for me to help them get a request into Zapier support that would actually turn out in getting that request granted? Should I submit it on their behalf? Or submit it from their account?

What database app would you recommend?

What database app do you use? Are there any that you would recommend? I use Airtable a lot as its free and there are plenty of triggers and actions to use in Zapier.

How to trigger a Zap on the first Thursday of every month?

I know that the Schedule by Zapier app can trigger a Zap on a specific day of the week, or a date in a month but what if you need to trigger on a specific day of the week in a month? Let's say I need to create some invoices on the first Thursday of each month, does anyone have any thoughts on how you could do that?

Pipedrive Deal Updates based on Fields

I’d like to set up a Zap that runs if a specific field is updated in an app like Pipedrive.There’s a trigger for Updated Deal, but I only want to run the actions in the Zap if a specific field in the Deal has been updated. I’m thinking that this can be done with a Filter step, but I don’t know how to get the old value for the field to compare it to the new value.Any thoughts on the best way to do this?

How to define segments when splitting a string of 2+ words using code

For example: Someone uses their full name in one field instead of first and last in separate fields. If you then want to split it and define the first word (name) as the first name and any other words in that field as the last name, you can do that using some JavaScript code.Option 1First name’s the same no matter what, so we can define it herevar firstname = nameArr[0]var lastnameCheck if there’s more than 2 elements in the array (i.e. a middle or multi-stage name)if(nameArr.length > 2){Remove the first item in the arraynameArr.shift()Then join that modified array up with a space in between the elementslastname = nameArr.join(" ")} else {But if there’s less than two (i.e normal name) then return the last name as you werelastname = nameArr[nameArr.length - 1]}output = [{firstname, lastname}];Option 2Here is another alternative:var fullName = input.name.split(' ');var firstName = fullName.shift();var lastName = fullName.join(' ');output = [{firstname: fi
