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!

Why doesn't Zapier have an API?

I know, crazy question, right? A middleware having it's own API... But I and my team are often in webhooks and we first test them within postman, before moving into Zapier... as I was copy-pasting some webhooks into Zapier I wondered why in the world am I doing manual copy-pasting (a repetitive task) when I'm the systems/automation guy telling my clients they shouldn't be doing that yet here I am doing it. So I started digging into exporting a webhook from postman and then thinking through how to "import" it into Zapier, and I know I could write a script, or even a zap that would adjust the formatting as needed.But there's no API, no way to create a Zap step from a script/webhook etc. Is it on the roadmap for Zapier? I know Zapier Manager exists, but what I want to do is have API access to manage my Zaps, create new steps, edit steps, enable/disable zaps etc. from a webhook. I know, an API to control an app that integrates with APIs... it's so meta! B

Account transfer--

Hello. We tried to change the owner email address on the account and instead it added the new one as a 'team'.. There is a bit of confusion on the account as its also asking to make a payment before the free trial.. We have owned the account for almost a year now, it is a paid account.. All we wanted to do was change the email address to Varuna Mehta- admin@lightdigital.ae (remove Mukesh)and transfer all ownership here WITHOUT changing anything on the account. So all zaps and settings to remain the same. Is there a way we can sort this asap please? Kindly suggest, thanks

Workaround to mitigate Eventbrite excessive task usage?

We have a Zap set up which enables customers to subscribe to our email list when purchasing an event ticket via Eventbrite. It works by having a custom question on our Eventbrite order form called "Subscribe to our free e-news" with a dropdown for Yes or No. There is then a Zap setup which listens for a New Attendee from Eventbrite, which then proceeds to a Filter step to only continue if that custom question = Yes, then lookup or create a Prospect in Pardot, then add that Prospect to a specific list. That Pardot list then triggers an Engagement Studio script, which fires off a welcome message and subscribes them to our e-news list.This all works great and has been quite successful at bringing in new subscribers for us, except there's one pretty big caveat - because our event is setup to enable only collect data for the ticket buyer but allows them to purchase multiple tickets, the Eventbrite API transmits duplicate data for every additional ticket purchased.

Zap should only work Mo-Fri 9.30-12.30

Dear Zapiers,I'm working with Zapier, and the Zap right works fine, but I need a Delay build in, or a some kind of scheduling in front. so, what may Zap is doing in Pipedrive: It's looking for new Deals in a specific Pipdrive-Filter, and if a deal appears in that Filter, the Zap is moving this Deal to a different Stage in Pipedrive. But I want this moving only to take place on Monday-Friday 9.30.-12.30So I think a "delay by Zapier" would be the choice here, but I'm not able to input my requirement... Could someone help me with that?thanks a lot!

Weighted Round Robin for PipeDrive Team Distribution

We are looking to distribute New Deals to our team through a weighted Round Robin. We have New Deals coming in through PipeDrive when a contract is signed. From there we've sent them to a New Client Pipeline. We would like to distribute these new Deals to our team members individual pipelines through a weighted "round robin". There are currently 12 team members. With these 12 team members we would like the leads to be distributed in a way that certain people get more leads than others. For example: Team member 1 & 2 get 17% of the leads that come through Team 3 & 4 get 10%, etc.We are looking to use a solution similar to https://community.zapier.com/discussion/133/easy-edit-round-robins-using-a-google-sheet#latest using the spreadsheet to manage the positions of the team. It seems that we may be able to do this by adding Team members multiple times, so they show up in the round robin more frequently than say, Team member 12 that only gets 3% of the leads.My ultim

Parser by Zapier vs Mailparser.io

Hi y'all. I often have this question come up and I'm never quite sure why/when a client/zap should switch from parser by Zapier to Mailparser.io. I know the answer generally is when the templates of the emails are more complicated. But what specifically does that mean?Aka what are the "if this" statements that help you determine when you need to plan on using mailparser.io versus the native parser by Zapier?

The final action should be going to a specific URL

It looks really silly, but I don't know how to do the following:I used a webhook to "catch" some parameters on a URL, I changed the parameters names on that URL, and added them to another URL. Now I'd like to go to the new URL with the revised parameters.How do I do that?Background:The goal is to get the registration info from a form and transfer them to a questionnaire. But the questionnaire receives parameters with certain names only.Thanks!

Gmail Mail Label Parent & Children

Hi,I've created a Zap that when a job is created it then make a label in my email account. But I am having a problem with getting the jobs that relate to the same client to be grouped under the same parent label. eg. All same to be created:Clients/"Client Name"/ JobNo - Job TitleI have manually told the Zap the create all the labels in Clients but the client name will differ. What I am ending up with is the client name is recreated each time I create a new job and not nested under the single client name. I'm guessing I need some type of lookup or cross reference to my inbox to see if the client label needs to be created or already exists, how would I do this?

Hey everyone,I am struggling with building an automation that will save me a lot of time and make my life easier and it would be great if you could help me out.Here's what I have to work with:We have a shared calendly for our team, where people can schedule meetings with us and they get randomly assigned to a member of the team, round robin style. Because the calendly is shared and not created by me, I can't connect it to any other apps. It is connected to my Google Calendar though, but the format & content of the Calendar event created cannot be edited. It looks like the screenshot attached.Also, when they schedule the event in Calendly, they get an email with a Typeform survey to fill in, with 3 questions: name, email, and a requires Yes/No question. This info goes into a Google Sheet - a new row is created for each Typeform entry, so for my example in the screenshot, the Google Sheet would have Alex test in column A, alextest@gmail.com in column B and (let's say)

Airtable & Buffer: Unable to Schedule Post with Multiple Images

Hi all, pretty new to Zapier so would appreciate any help I can get! The Zap I'm trying to create is "Add to Buffer Schedule" when "New Record is made in AirTable". In my AirTable, I have an "Image Attachment" field, which will translate to the photo URL in my Buffer scheduled post. AirTable allows me to upload multiple images to the attachment field, however, when a record has more than one image, the Zap will fail. The Zap will only be successful when there is only one image in the Attachment field. I tried a workaround by adding multiple attachment fields in AirTable, (i.e Image #1, Image #2...) but if I added both those fields to the Zap, it fails too.This isn't ideal, as I know for a fact that Buffer does allow up to 4 images per post. Any insight would be appreciated!
