Triggering a Github action from my Zap

I’m trying to trigger a Github action that’s listening to ‘repository_dispatch’ events. How do I create it on the Zapier side? I know it should probably be through Webhooks by Zapier > POST. But I’m unsure how to fill in the other fields, which ones are required, how to auth, etc…

Hiya all, I’m Fred, new zapper here.I am pumped that I can automate Teams, Slack, and Whatsapp messages. I use Google Messages as my text messaging service with my Google Pixel.

How do I mark shopify fulfillment status as fulfilled

Hello, I sell digital items and I want to make it so that when the automation is complete, it would mark order fulfillment status as fulfilled and also notify the customer of shipment like it would notify when you manually fulfill it. I have been trying to do that using ChatGPT and API, but it was unsuccessful, can anybody help me do that? Thanks in advance.

Send message to the Slack Channel which initiated the push

Hi folks,I’m trying to do something that seems fairly simple, but running into challenges. I want to trigger a Zap from a new pushed message in slack, then send a message back to the channel where the pushed message was originated.It seems like the only thing you can is push to a pre-defined channel, but what I’m looking for is to automatically pick up on the channel where the push came from, and send the automated message back to that channel. Is there a way to do this?Thanks,Lee

Is there a way to display the correct Time Zone without using an additional Formatter step in Zapier?

Hi, I'm integrating Appointlet/SLACK.In the legacy version of Appointlet, this integration allowed me to choose the date and time separately, in my Time Zone.But now it appears in UTM, which forces me to do a three-step integration that is not supported by the free version of Zapier.I asked the virtual assistand and it’s responded: To resolve this issue:Set the Timezone in Your Zapier Account: • Go to your Zapier profile settings and ensure your timezone is set to Mexico City time. Adjust the Timezone in Your Zap: • Check the timezone settings within your specific Zap. If no timezone is set, Zapier defaults to UTC for any date fields . Use Formatter to Modify Date Format: • If you are inputting a date, time, and timezone into a date field, use the Formatter tool in Zapier to modify the date format to match your desired timezone . Check Timezone Settings in Trigger and Action Apps: • Ensure that the timezone settings in both the trigger (Appointlet) and action apps match your desired ti

Slack notifications firing without HubSpot form submission

Have a flow with a trigger for New Form Submission, followed by a Zapier action that notifies the team in Slack with the form details. However, it seems to be firing sometimes without any actual form submission or with untracked ones. I checked HubSpot, and there was no info about such form submissions for the exact contact who did it.What could be triggering this notification? Where should I start looking?P.S. I double-checked every related zap, and the logic is the same everywhere. Sometimes it provides the correct notification with a real form submission, and other times it doesn’t.

SurveyMonkey to Arlo Collector

I’m trying to create a Zap where a person completes their survey in survey monkey and that marks them as “passed” in the course registration in Arlo so that their certificate for completion is automatically sent when they are marked passed. (second image) The Zap works if I create a new Zap for every single survey, but that’s not feasible. I was told that I had to use the same survey for each course, which I did, but each course still has a separate “web collector” for each course (image below) which sets me up to still have to create a new Zap for each web collector.  I’m just wondering if there is any workaround for this?

Connection error to MySQL

 Hey everyone, I’m facing a MYSQL error, everything was working perfectly, I have 97 zaps connected to MYSQL and was running good until Friday, I have the Zapier IPs added in the Firewall, the MYSQL version is 5.7, and nothing changed on the server side, everyone can connect on MYSQL Instance normally.On the server side everything is perfect, there is no lost connection or anything. Tried already, restart the server, restart MYSQL service, open the Firewall, add a new MYSQL user with ADMIN PREVILEGES, nothing works, and the problem is that I can not add a new connection, but sometimes the connection starts to work again, for example:Yesterday at 08:24pm it started to work again, I could even run some zaps with no error message, and suddenly 2 minutes later it stopped again.I checked the MYSQL connection limit and it is not even close to the limit.  The first screen shot when the connection was tested with success: 2 Minutes later, the connection was lost again, and this still like this

POST in Webhooks by Zapier works but also errors

I have Apps Script code in a Google Sheet that creates and sends an email. I have a Zap triggered by a new Jotform submission that adds form data to the Google Sheet and then ultimately uses a POST in Webhooks by Zapier step to run the Apps Script create/send email job.Everything works as planned. The email sends successfully and is the last step of the Zap. However, every time the Zap runs I get the following error:I’d rather have this false negative than an actual error, but we track error notifs, and I’m worried all of this noise will result in us missing real errors. Can anyone help?

Error handling with a webhook

Hi allI'm using the error handling feature to make sure the Zap always runs. For example: if a user already exists, I add a subscription to it’s username, otherwise I’d first create the user and then add the subscription.Although I'm always getting error notifications (in my email inbox) because an error is hit. But... it's an "expected error in certain scenario's" => That's why I added the error handler :-)I would expect only to get an error message when an error is raised that is not catched by an error handler (for example: when the user already exists → error handler get’s triggered and assigns the subscription to the user and when the assigning fails => only that is a “valid error”.How can I disable these notifications (only for this kind of error's) and I want the zap-status to be sucessful instead of “error”.This is an example of it of which I get an error notification, but actually it worked as expected/wanted:

The Zap overwrites predefined formulas in Google Sheets

Hey!  Every time my zap is triggered, it passes some data to my Google Sheet. But all the formula that where already predefine in the new row are deleted even though I’ve left those fields blank in the Zap. This issue has already been brought up in the community twice from what I can find: But neither answer to these instances address the issue. Is this being worked on or is there a way to maintain the values in the Google Sheet cells that I tell Zapier to leave empty?

Problem with setting up the trigger when new halted task happens

Hi people  Currently I am having a problem with setting up the trigger when a zap(Let’s say zap A) in a folder enters the “halted” state.  A zap which I want to set the trigger (Let’s say zap B) uses the “Zapier Manager->New Halted Task” trigger. When I edit Zap B, it keeps showing that “We couldn’t find a new halted task” ( The 1st picture folloewing below), although in a zap A, which I want to get alert shows its halted task ( The 2nd picture folloewing below). So my question is 1, How can I set the trigger for new halted task? Is there any required condition?2, If the zap A finishes successfully till the end despite of the halted task in the middle, can this be recognized as halted tasks or not? (Because technically the zap A finishes even though it shows halted task in the middle) FYI I am attaching the description of what it shows in zap A history1.
