Error: Unable to verify that your connection has access to the Firebase/Firestore project "personalgrowthautomation"

Hello,I'm trying to connect Firebase/Firestore to Zapier to automate data transfer from Google Sheets to Firestore. However, I'm encountering an issue during the connection process.The error message I'm receiving is: "Unable to verify that your connection has access to the Firebase/Firestore project 'personalgrowthautomation'".Here are the steps I've taken so far to troubleshoot the issue:Checked that my Google account has "Owner" permissions for the Firebase project. Verified that I'm using the correct Firebase Project ID. Tried disconnecting and reconnecting Firebase to Zapier. Checked that the Firestore database is set up correctly and accessible through the Firebase console. Checked Google Cloud Platform permissions and ensured my account has the necessary permissions. Enabled the Cloud Firestore API in the Google Cloud Platform console. Tried connecting Firebase to Zapier in a different browser and in incognito mode.Despite these steps, I'm still encountering the same error. I wou

Getting error when updating a record in my last step: Object of type LazyFile is not JSON serializable

So I created a webhook Zap that adds an invoice attachment to Airtable. This original zap works fine. I wanted this zap to do the same thing in two other tables in the same base so I copied this Zap twice. I set up everything the exact same as my original Zap just in another table. Yet I keep getting this message when I try to update a record in my last step:Object of type LazyFile is not JSON serializable I’m not even sure what this means or why it is doing this when the Zaps are the exact same other than the location it is locating and updating records. If anyone can give me some advice to figure out why this isn’t working that would be greatly appreciated.

Forwarding email with attachment to QBO

I’m trying to create a Zap to FWD receipts that come from one specific email to my Quickbooks receipt forwarding address. I can’t use the default gmail solution because in order to do that, you need a confirmation code from the email you are trying to forward to. But the email I'm trying to forward to isn’t actually an email. It’s a Quickbooks generated “email” to store receipts so there's no way for me to retrieve a confirmation code to enter into google which is why I’m trying to create a Zap.

Jira Software Cloud: Jira board not showing up as project option for action

Hello,I am trying to set up a zap between Google Forms and a Jira Kanban Board so that when a new form is submitted, a new issue is automatically created in Jira. I am using Jira Cloud Software and the board is company-managed software. I have administrator permissions on the board in Jira, but when I go to set up the action in Zapier, the board does not show up as one of the projects. Is this a permissions issue in Jira? Or perhaps there is another setting that needs to be configured? Many thanks in advance for any advice or guidance you can provide!

I could not trigger my Zap even after entering authentication to verify through Gmail.

I’m trying to setup an email to slack channel posting using the Email by Zapier function.  However, in Gmail i have to “verify” the zapier email address by entering an authentication code.  No matter how many times I send it from gmail it doesn’t appear to trigger the zap.  If i manually send an email to that same address it works.It’s just the gmail forwarding verification that’s being stuffed.  How can I fix this?

How can I update an event in a different Google Calendar when another Google Calendar is updated?

I have a Zap that copies event from Google Calendar A to Google Calender B when an event is created or updated in A. The problem is that when an event is updated in A I want the existing copy of the event in B to be replaced (Or deleted and then created from scratch - whatever is easiest. Basically I want to emulate the behaviour when you manually create an event in your Google Calender and then later on changes something in it) but instead Zapier just creates a new event while leave the existing event as is. This means that I end up with a lot of duplicate events.I see several ways to achieve this but they all have their issues or problems I don’t understand.I start with a New or Updated Event in Google Calendar trigger. I then use the Path by Zapier: The steps in A looks like this:  Here it start to get confusing:The option “Create Google Calendar Event if it doesn’t exist yet?” maybe already covers my use case? Can I use that and skip the Path-step? Is this the right way to manipula

Filtering on webook api response payload that may or may not have the payload?

Title should be:What to* do for filtering on web hook API response payload that may or may not have the payload? Hi Ya’ll, Currently working with a client where we have to use an API for searching a database for files. When the API call Is triggered if the file does not exist, we get an error. If it does exist, we get a response. I know that Zapier doesn’t offer handling of errors and simply will stop the zap. What are some ways we can handle this since the API won't let us get a response that says file doesn't exist. Looking for suggestions.  Thanks!

Cannot set up zap connection to Excel file on OneDrive

First zap ever!Problem: Can’t see OneDrive folders and Excel file in the Zapier Trigger dialogBackground:I’m trying to use the Zapier Excel Trigger “Whenever a row is changed...” to launch a workflow in Process Street. Process Street side is set up and works fine in the test. The Excel spreadsheet is on OneDrive in the My files / Documents folder.  I  have set up my Microsoft 365 account in Zapier and it says the authentication works.When I try to set up the connection in the Zapier Trigger dialog, Zapier cannot see any of the OneDrive folder structure in the drop down.  From there, I obviously can’t select a workbook either.  Prior topics queried whether this was a native or shared folder.  The folder is native to my account.How do I get the folder list & select the Excel file?

Splitwise Zap suddenly stopped working - Currency Code Splitwise does not support the given currency code

Hi all,  wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this error i’m getting.  I had a zap that I’ve been using for months that takes an amount from my YNAB budget and automatically creates an expense in Splitwise. A week or two ago I started getting these errors every time I try and run it.  I’ve tried reformatting the amount to convert it to a currency and adding a dollar sign in front of it but nothing seems to be working.

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?

How do I save email attachments as separate files in an Evernote note instead of a zip file?

Hi all!I have a specific e-mail address where I receive invoices. I would like to automatically save these invoices into a specific Evernote notebook. I can do this manually by fowarding the email to my Evernote and append to the subject line "@notebookName". But I could not find an email rule that allows me to do this. So I tried Zappier.I was able to create a Zap to do this, but the problem I'm facing is that all attachments in the e-mail are saved into the Evernote note as a Zip file. This happens using the specific Evernote App or the Email App.I would like to save all files separate and in the same note in Evernote. Just as if I forward an email into Evernote. Hope someone has faced this before and found a solution.If onlye Evernote would allow a specific email address for each notebook, like slack does, it would make life a lot easer...

Zapier "unable to load choices" for channel options from Slack

As of this morning, I am unable to select a Slack channel to send notifications to when a card is moved to a specific list in Trello. I have reset the authorizations on both Slack and Trello several times and nothing. I even copied a working Zap with the exact same permissions and simply tried to change the channel and that is not an option either. It seems every time I get something working through your platform, something inevitably breaks. Its getting a little frustrating and I think I’ll start spending my time looking for alternatives soon. After digging through the channel, it seems I am not the only one who is encountering a similar issue.

MySql update by custom query and Views as tables

Hello, For a project I seem to be running into limitations with the MySql integration with Zapier. The first one is no having the option to run a custom query to update the database, because of that it takes about 10 steps to update my database instead of just one with the help of a stored procedure. I tried to use an update stored procedure with find row by a custom query but sadly it’s read-only. secondly, I would love to do the same things with views as we currently can do with tables, so things like updating and selecting can take fewer steps. Does anyone have tips?

Instant Zap (Google Calendar to Airtable) Not Instant

Hi everyone. OK, on my list of zaps it says that it is instant. And for a while it amazingly was, but now there is about a 5-7 minute delay. Is there a reason a zap would be labeled instant but that actually not be a part of my Zapier plan?
