Shrink Text on Overflow setting not conveying - Google Slides - Create Presentation from Template

Hello, I am trying to create a two page cert with google slides and the second page may have a varying amount (sometimes a lot) of text and I really need the textbox with the placeholder to “shrink text on overflow” but after using the “Create Presentation from Template” Zap, it ALWAYS seems to revert to “do not autofit” which is causing the text to overflow which isn’t good for auto creating certificates.When looking at the API it looks like the shrink text preference isn’t being conveyed for the TEXT_BOX shape… Is this an update that’s needed from the Zapier team’s end or is there a workaround that I can implement?Thank you for your help - please let me know if any addition information would be helpful.

How to get Google Docs with Google Doc id instead of document title?

I am using Zapier to get when google docs are shared with me and then I can later retrieve them.  The issue I am running into is that there is only a search by google doc title and not id.  What happens is, if there are multiple documents with the same name then it’s hard to get the exact document.  Any way you know of to find google docs by ID instead of name/title?Thanks!!

Can I force my Zap to refresh and choose the last three payments in Stripe?

Hi all, I’m trying to configure a Zap with Stripe as a trigger (new payment), but in order to test, i click on load more data to test the trigger and it always loads the same 3 payments, even if they were not the last 3 to begin with, and some more payments came in afterwards and it still pulls the same 3 it’s incredible.Even if I wait,  I click again on. “load more data” it says more data found, and then, instead of having A,B,C, i now have A,B,C,D,E,F but they are the same 3 repeated 2 times!So how can I force the Zap to refresh and chose the really last 3? I tried creating another zap, reconnecting the Stripe and it stays the same :))I need this because I changed the metadata I’m sending to stripe and that happened after the 3 payments it’s pulling me so i’m unable to test with the new data structure.Thank you for your help :)

How do I create a Zap that automatically welcomes new Slack users?

I run a Slack community on a free plan. I want to be able to automatically welcome new users through a Zap message sent to them directly, or to their Slackbot. I seem to be able to set up a trigger: When new user joins. However, the action doesn’t seem correct as I’m only able to send DMs to a specific user - which would surely mean I’d message one person for every new joiner. Help appreciated?

The only users who can rename channels in Slack are:The channel’s creator An owner/admin A channel member with the “Channel Manager” permissionThis last one must be manually added through Slack’s UI.

why is my zap using so many tasks?

I created a zap to add an additional attendee to every new Google Calendar event. The zap worked fine. Unfortunately, the zap used > 1,000 tasks per day. I ran out of tasks now and I need to pay to upgrade to a better plan :( Before I do so, I would like some help to figure out why it used so many tasks. I have certainly not added thousands of new events to the calendar.The trigger is “New or Updated Event in Google Calendar.” The action is “Add Attendee/s to Event in Google Calendar.” In the “Set up Action” section I selected the same calendar as in the one in trigger. For the “Event” field I selected “Custom” then I selected “1. ID 099rjt4hrulvb0pa2o700kutk.” I was particularly puzzled by the 099rjt4hrulvb0pa2o700kutk string as it looked as if it would be a specific event. That said, the zap worked, so I think that part might be ok. Can someone helped me figure out how to prevent this zap from hogging resources?

ClickFunnels Error: Find Contact Profile Action Returning Error

Hey there, I’m running into an error with the ClickFunnels integration on a zap I created.I have a zap set up to trigger when any HubSpot deal is updated to a specific deal stage.After the trigger, it’s set to use the ClickFunnels action to search for a contact profile so I can retrieve the contact’s subscribed email lists.Each time I try to test this action in the zap, it returns the following error:Failed to find a Contact_profile in ClickFunnelsWhile requesting “dev_method” from ClickFunnels we ran into an error: The app returned “not found”.The only setup involved in the action is the required field for email address, which is pulling that value from the HubSpot deal in the trigger.I’ve reconnected the HubSpot and ClickFunnels accounts to Zapier, but keep running into this same error.If anyone has any ideas on why this would be happening or if there’s any kind of workaround I would appreciate it greatly. Thank you!---

How can I append dynamic HTML-coded text to a table in a Word document using Zapier?

Hello, I am currently setting up a Zap with a loop that finds strings of text, searches against entries in an Excel table and returns a column from that table. Everything here works fine, The problem I am having is that I want to add this text to a table, which I don’t know the size of - the number of rows depends on the number of successful searches. I add the text using Append text to Document, but however I try to split the table, it doesn’t insert the text inside the table, but rather below as plain text… Is there a way I can store the html-coded text, add the additional codes on each success of the loop and then in the end append the whole html-coded table to the word document, so that it’s in the table?Here is some more info along with my code (don’t mind it as syntax, it works :D): <table style="float: left;width:600.25pt;background:#FFC000;border-collapse:collapse;border:none;margin-left:6.75pt;margin-right: 6.75pt;">    <tbody>        <tr>            <td s

How to use Zapier to enter information on a webpage and return feedback to conversational AI?

I want Zapier to enter information on a webpage and return the price, etc. to a conversational AI. This is the webpage where I want to enter information using Zapier.https://airportshuttlephoenix.ridebitsapp.com/central/new_reservationThis link only shows the first of four steps in the booking process. Feel free to enter values like Test Test for name, any address in Arizona or test@gmail.com for email to see additional steps. I noticed the url doesn’t change on steps 2-4.The goal is for a conversational AI to get address and other customer information and enter the information on each step at the url above, return feedback like price, availability, etc. back to the conversational AI, and generate sales by completing step 4.Happy to share more info about the AI I’m using once I get Zapier to enter the data on the website and generate sales.

Hubspot "Find Contact" Action: Not Finding All Contacts and Stopping After First contact is found

We probably have something configured incorrectly but we’re having issues with the “Find Contact” action when integrating with hubspot. Our Zap is supposed to:  Look up specific deals based on swim lane Based on a deal property, find contacts who share the same property  Associate the identified contacts with the dealFor example, we offer a product with seat licenses. We have a deal with a single contact associated to it. We want to find ALL of the contacts who are part of this account (seat holders) and associate them to the deal. For the most part, everything is working. It finds the correct deals, filters the right properties, and associates them to the deal correctly. Our main issue is, it stops after finding one contact when there are at least 15-20 others that should have been associated. Are we using find contact incorrectly? Is it designed to stop after finding the first contact?

Can an Action also know which Trigger it was paired with?

Hello Zapier community! Is it possible to implement an Action that knows which Trigger it was used with?For example, if someone wanted to make a Zap triggered by uploading to their Instagram account, I'd like to trigger an action that knows it was Instagram as opposed to, say, Pinterest. It's not enough to guess based on the URL because the trigger could also be GMail or Slack, where people can put URLs that could look like anything.We'd like to be able to track not only that the requests are coming from Zapier, but where in Zapier is it coming from specifically, without needing to bother the user by asking them to manually input which trigger they used. Is this possible?Thank you once again!

Thus could we give Zapier the private URL and have it download the report to google drive. The report is relativley small it is different KPIs and tables and charts.  Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide ! Best Reagards Nick
