Hubspot "New Deals In Stage" Returning Deal Owner as numeric value - not really useful

Hi Community. I'm working on a zap that gets data when a Deal card is placed in a given stage. The zap is triggered fine and one of the fields I'm parsing is "Deal Owner." The value comes back as a numeric and it appears to the the User's ID. This really isn't useful and I'm looking for a string name. Is this the expected behavior or do I need to do another step?Deal Name: {{74006961__dealname}}Deal ID: {{74006961__dealId}}Amount: {{74006961__amount}}NAIFA Staff Owner: {{74006961__hubspot_owner_id}} Description: {{74006961__description}}Thanks.

Finding Evernote notes and adding a tag if certain conditions are met

Hey guys, is it possible to find Evernote notes with a certain tag (e.g. Blank), parse a date out of the title, then give them a new tag (e.g. Delete) if that date is in the past?

Creating multiple tasks in Todoist leads to an error

Hello!Recently I've started the automation of my checklists. I used to have them as .csv files and used Todoist import functionality, but now I want them to unroll by a simple click. To accomplish this, I've set a Zap consisting of three steps: Webhooks by Zapier (thank you, @PaulKortman), Code by Zapier (using technique from here) and Todoist.Code from Zapier returns an array of 12 objects which then should transform into tasks created in Todoist. The problem is that several requests for tasks creation fail due to "Too Many Requests" error.Is there an option to create several tasks with a single request or some other method to avoid this issue?

Set "From" email address on "Send Email in Microsoft Office 365" zap.

Hello, I am using "Send Email in Microsoft Office" pdf. I am the admin for the Microsoft account. When I connected the account, it automatically began using my email as the sender when an email is triggered. I would like for the emails to come from an exchange group instead of from me personally. Is this possible, or would I have to convert that group into an actual email account?

Templating for content?

Wondering if anyone has a better solution for essentially a template. My client does not want to be in Zapier editing stuff, but wants to edit a notification email that the system needs to send. (Like say they want to add a seasons greetings, or a holiday hours, or a special discount they're running) This is for notification emails that are triggered via Airtable/Zapier and sent via gmail. My thoughts were to have a "Email Templates" table within Airtable (could also be in a spreadsheet or other database like system) with column names like "Template name" "subject" and "Email body"Within the zap I can search the "Email Templates" table for template named XYZ and then I have the subject and the body to send via the gmail step. However, what if I wanted to offer replaceable fields like first name, or record link, or other fields to my clients, ya know, like a real template?So I could have something like {{firstname}} and then run a f

How to automatically update an existing Live Item on the site after an update in an RSS Feed? Right

Hi,I’m building a website for a podcaster who uses a platform that generates an RSS Feed of their episodes. I’m using Zapier to watch the RSS Feed for any new episodes, and if there are any new episodes, tell Webflow to create a web page with all of the data.The problem I am running into is that if my client makes an edit on any of his past episodes, Webflow creates a brand new page (a duplicate of one that already exists). What I would like happen is for zapier to check and see if there’s already a existing episode on the site and make an update to the live item instead of creating a new one.I have tried many things, and I’m wondering if anyone here has any ideas. Thanks for taking a look.Feel free to poke around on Desktop (mobile not yet optimized):https://preview.webflow.com/preview/the-startup-story?utm_medium=preview_link&utm_source=designer&utm_content=the-startup-story&preview=1a5291aabf7762f0ee1084e522fdec25&pageId=5df0765fc2f6ed84e1371dd9&itemId=5df4168b40

Need help with Google Docs/Sheets generation from JSON

Hello Zapiers!In our system we generate orders and we want to let to our customers to automatically generate few docs related to such orders. All docs has templates (customisable) and we need to fill different templates with dynamic data.For example, we need to put {ORDER_NUMDER} {ORDER_DATE} {CLIENT_NAME} {ORDER_SUM} to different docs, like: contract, invoice and report. Contract is Google Doc, Invoice – Google sheet, and report is Google Doc too. Then we need to generate PDFs from this docs and email it all to few emails.1. Is it possible to solve this complicated logic with Zapier?2. How would you do that? (any advice or examples, if possible)Thank you so much!

An alternative for a push by Zapier

Hello!Sometimes I need to add a list of tasks to my Todoist. This list doesn't even have something to parametrize. I want a simple button to press and have my tasks added to a specific project.The instrument that I have found is a push by Zapier. But it turns out it is somewhat limited: I only can use it in Google Chrome. But I want to do so in Firefox and on my iPhone. Do you know of the alternatives suitable for my desired Zap?

Hi,I'm trying to create a sales receipt in Quickbooks online using a Google Sheet that has a bunch of orders. Here's an example:What I need is to be able to create a sales receipt that will show all the items a customer purchased. For example, in the spreadsheet shown above, a sales receipt would have the 5 items for order 78654, then another sales receipt for the 1 item for order 79352, then another sales receipt for the 2 items for order 79938 and so forth.Is there a way to do this?

How to convert custom fields array into the key value pair?

I have a trigger, which returning ar array of custom fields. each element of the array have a two keys FIELD_VALUE and FIELD_NAME.When I am mapping these fields in an action there are only two field available :FIELD VALUES ==> comma(,) separated values of all custom fields key FIELD_VALUE, similarlyFIELD NAMES ==> comma(,) separated values of all custom fields key FIELD_NAMESI want to convert all of the fields in a key:value pair. So the value of FIELD_NAME will be a key and value of FIELD_VALUE will be a value.I have tried to use code by zapier but it is not working as expected:Here is my JS code:var names = (inputData.names).split(',');var values = ((inputData.values).toString()).split(',');var obj = names.reduce((obj, key, index) => ({ ...obj, [key]: values[index] }), {});The problem is null values, Zapier removing null values from comma (,) separated string.

Brackets vs Underscores in "Shortcodes"

I'm not sure what the proper term is, but when you copy a value from a field in a Zap and paste it in a text editor it looks something like {{44202530__Item}} I'm calling those short codes for this conversation... please correct me if there is a proper term for it. But recently when working with Line Items I found these two give different results, one works when there's only one line, and another works when there are multiple lines. {{44202530__output[]Item 4}}{{44202530__output__Item 4}}So what is the difference as to why sometimes it uses square brackets([]) versus underscores(__) ?

Return a POST response back to a Catchhook destination

Hi,I am using Zapier as an intermediary to post an XML to a client's API/CRM. So the ZAP is comprised on two steps: 1) Catchhook from my Lead Management Software 2) POST to the client API.Is there anyway of returning the response from the POST to my lead management software (catchhook)? I'm keen to see in my lead management software whether a lead has successfully reached my client API. At the moment i'm only seeing that it has successfully reached Zapier.

Prevent a path from running more that once per day?

Hey! I'm using Acuity Appointment Start to trigger the creation of an Asana task which serves as a checklist for our team. I'm wondering if there's a way to prevent a path from running more than once per day. Right now the zap would trigger the Asana task creation every time an appointment starts in Acuity, but I only need one task for any day where there's at least one appointment for an individual! Any ideas for how I might prevent a path from running more than once per day? I appreciate your help in advance.

Don't see line items section?

I'm trying to get the creation of a new invoice in QuickBooks to trigger the updating of a Google Sheet, so that every row in the sheet's "Product" column that matches a product name in a line of the invoice gets that line's quantity added to the next column over, the "Count" column. For instance, if I make an invoice for 2 of Widget A and 3 of Widget B, the zap finds the Widget A and Widget B columns I have set up in the sheet, and then in the next columns over, adds 2 and 3 respectively to the "Count" cells. I've managed to set this up fine when there's only 1 product on the invoice, but when I go to use Line Items in my GS action - Find Many Spreadsheet Rows (With line item support) - there's no section for line items! I made sure I selected the QB trigger New Invoice (With line item support), even though weirdly enough the "line item" part of that title doesn't show up in the outline. For what it's wort

Using wildcards in Utilities > Lookup table?

Is it possible to use wildcards in the lookup table formatter? Use case: I am integrating Splitwise and Google Sheets. Splitwise assigns ID numbers to categories. I want these to display as text (home, food, utilities, etc.) in Google Sheets.However, Splitwise also has subcategories which it also numbers, but it uses the greater category as the first number. so if Food and Drink were the parent category and had an ID of 3, Groceries would be a sub-category under it with an ID of 31 (3 for food and drink, 1 for the first sub-category). Is there a way to tell the lookup table to look for 3* (anything starting with 3) and assign the category to it? Let me know if I can clarify my explanation or what I'm asking for. Thanks!
