Possible to upload document to Google Drive without converting it?

Hi, I’m attempting to upload shipping label PDF’s from a Slack channel to a Google Drive account, and it appears to be converting them into MS docx documents, which totally destroys the label.  I did notice that on the “Upload Document” event, it mentions that it will attempt to convert the file into a Google Doc format if possible:  I guess my question is, is there any way to get it to not attempt to convert the document?  I briefly looked at some of the API options, but it didn’t look like there was a way to do a multipart/form / file upload via the options presented there.  Any suggestions? Thanks-Peter / Snap Kitchen

Is it possible to get a higher resolution image in Facebook Groups "New Photo" trigger?

HeyI am trying to get an image from a Facebook Group using the Facebook Group Zap thingy. I have gone through everything correctly, and it outputs an URL to an image, however, the image is very small. It is 130x173… Then I have an Instagram Business zap that takes that image and posts it to an Instagram feed. But the resolution is terrible.There is no other URL in the Facebook Group zap that I could use, there is no other image URL. How can I change the URL so it has better dimensions?

Zap fails to find lead using the contact id in Pipedrive.

As per the title.I have set up a Zap which should identify the Lead from Pipedrive using the ContactID.This keeps failing, saying failed to find Lead. The ContactID does exist and I can see it when I'm inputting the fields into that step. I can work around this by using the Organisation Name to identify the Lead (by the associated Organisation), however this won't be as accurate as using the ContactID (the associated Contact of the Lead)Does anyone know if this is a bug with Zapier or can think of any workaround or resolution?Thanks

Start A Zap Manually Without Having To Use Webhooks As A Trigger

I’m working with a client who has an incredibly complex workflow that doesn’t allow for much automation.  One of the tasks I’m trying to automate is filling out a PDF from data in a Google Sheet row.  The problem is that the spreadsheet cannot be formatted in a way that is readable by Zapier for a number of reasons irrelevant to accomplishing this task.  Here’s my question:Is there a way to launch a Zap directly from Sheets?  I’ve tried using the Webhooks by Zapier app but that took away my trigger and I wasn’t able to get Sheets to perform the function of using row data to fill out the PDF.

Anyone found a way to query an LDAP server?

Hey, I’m trying to query an LDAP server (to determine the manager of a person who is making a request) and was originally planning on using Python in the Code by Zapier app, but now I’m seeing that you can’t import any modules… Has anyone tried/found a way to make this work? I can envision a very wonky workaround with a local server and webhooks but trying to avoid insane workarounds for functionality that seems on the surface as though it should be supported somehow?

How do you import report data returned from GA4 zap into MySQL?

I have a Zap that is running a report on a property in Google Analytics 4 and comes back with the desired data as nested arrays when I test the Zap.  However when I try to access that data to loop and then add a new row into MySQL, the nested arrays are combining into 2 comma delimited strings, one being all the dimensions data combined and the other being all the metrics data combined. I also, tried retrieving the data via API Request, but with same issue with no way to map the individual fields and formatted is of no use because all the fields and all the rows are combined into the single string. Has anyone else run into this problem and if so, how were you able to remedy?

Zapier task limits: How to prevent them from being exceeded

Hello,Does anyone know of a way to stop zapier runaway zaps before they max out our task limits?   We just had a zap which looped for some reason and created 10,000 tasks, which obviously blew away our limit.  Is there a way to prevent this in the future, like if it's more than 20 tasks in 2 minutes or something it will stop?

Replicating the data pass-through behavior of the webhook in a custom Action

I would like to implement a custom action for sending data to the API of my application. My target users (mainly staff) aren’t particularly technical and there isn’t much need to massage the data from prior steps other than some filtering (which they can do!).The primary function of the custom action is to let the user search for and find a destination container in our system. This is currently implemented as a dynamic dropdown using a trigger that also pull the value of an adjacent text field as the search query (there are thousands of these destination containers to pick from, searching the local page of results is not good enough). This is all working great.However, instead of forcing the user to map data fields every time they setup the action, I’d like to have my system do all of that mapping. There isn’t a lot of nuance so it’s just an unnecessary step for the user. I imagine there a variety of ways to do this, but the one that seems the easiest on the face of it is replicating t

Response content is too large to be processed.

Hi Zapier Community,I'm currently facing an issue with my custom webhook that converts webpages to PDF and uploads them to Google Drive. Whenever I try to process a file larger than 5MB, I receive an error message from Zapier stating, "Response content is too large to be processed." I'm wondering if this is the hard limit for this type of process.It's surprising to encounter such a low file size limit, especially since I recently upgraded to the professional plan in the hopes of resolving this issue. However, it seems that the error persists even with the upgraded plan.Has anyone else experienced a similar problem with file size limitations when using custom webhooks in Zapier? I would greatly appreciate any insights, suggestions, or workarounds to overcome this limitation. Are there any ways to increase the file size limit, either through configuration or other means?Thank you all in advance for your help and support!

Issue with uploading files to Chatbot Data Sources.

I saw that connecting data sources to chatbots was now possible, so I bought a premium plan to test it out. I am running into issues where no matter the file size or type it seems to be getting rejected over and over. The file I tested is a 27kb (I see the max is 1mb) word document that was having issues, I then turned it into a .txt file and was still not able to upload, then after I tried to convert it to a .pdf with still no luck. Any way to get this file uploaded so I can begin to test this new feature? Thanks!

Can I tag Pasion.io users and add them to my Kartra mailing list?

Hello. I have an app that I built through Passion.io with a large free content section (it is already connected to Zapier). I am offering this free content to build my community. If people click the link to join the app, can I then use Zapier to automatically tag them and add them to my mailing list on Kartra? I know there are strict rules for opting in to lists. I am trying to avoid users having to perform 2 steps to get on my list (joining the app AND filing out a Kartra opt-in form). I would like for them to only have to join the app, then this 1 action gets them tagged as a new member and gets them into my funnel. Can anyone provide some insight with this? Thank you!

Sub Zap error: The app returned "Seen this checksum already"

Hello there 👋Overview: I built multiple zapier automations and use sub-zaps to structure different parts of a big process better and pass information between the zaps.Details: I only use the sends and starts of sub-zaps and don’t need to return any values to the inital zaps. So as I said: it’s just for a better structure within my process. Since it’s required to return values from a sub-zap to an initial zap and I don’t want to make use of this, I use the same text string for every successful run (“success”).Error: The initial zap tells me “The app returned "Seen this checksum already"”. Makes sense since I always send the same value. Question: Can I use sub-zaps without sending information back to the initial zap?Alternative solution: is it enough to just send the current timestamp back so that the checksum varies for each run? Thanks in advance and best regardsPhilipp

Google Lead Form to ActiveDemand Internal Server Error

I have 13 Zaps and 11 of them are returning an internal server error on testing the action. The zaps are triggered when a Google Ads Lead Form is submitted. The action is to create a new form entry in ActiveDemand. Here is the error I am receiving:Failed to create a create form entry in ActiveDEMANDThe app returned "Internal Server Error". I’m unsure what could be causing it because it seems like it works for a few zaps and not others. Any advice on troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated. I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Zaps.
