Email by Zapier error: Failed to create a send outbound email in Email by Zapier

Hello!Okay, this is going to be a super basic question, but I just cant make it work.  I’ve used Email by Zapier before and didnt have any trouble, must have been doing something different.All I want to do is get Zapier to send me an email, a notification.  The zap is actually connected to Mailchimp, and each time a new subscriber submits the subscribe form, I want an email notification.  This is super basic!But, I cant complete the build of the zap, because the email always fails the test.  Zapier tells me;“Failed to create a send outbound email in Email by ZapierYou can only send emails to yourself when testing the ZapierMailAPI”So what am I doing wrong?  Come on, point out the obvious for?

How to add WPForm enquiries for new form submissions in React?

Hello All,I connected WPForms with Zapier, but it looks like information goes from WPForms to Zapier. Is there any way to do the reverse?We want to build headless WordPress, with React Front-End. In this case, we want users to submit form on the React Front-End, which will be connected with Zapier webhooks, so that Zapier sends these submissions to WPForms in Wordpress Backend. Is this possible?  Structure:Person submits in React => React sends to Zapier => Zapier adds this submission to WPForms enquiry. Can you please give any ideas how to make this possible and help?

How can I set a specific time with my local timezone within my Google Task action?

I am trying to use a zap to create  a Google Task with a due date and time.  In my specific example, I want a task that is due at 6:00am in my local time zone. I have Set Up Action to set Due Date to a date/time (screen shot below with relevant section highlighted). However, when I run the test case, the time is set to 00:00:00:000Z, although the date remains correct  (screen shot below with relevant section highlighted). Can anyone advise what I’m doing wrong?

One webhook for multiple events

I'm using the catch hook zap to listen for new data created OR updated by an external system.I'm wondering if I need to set up individual zaps for each event type (create and updated) or is there a way to go down a different set of actions based on a filter. Example, filter the event type, if it says created it will trigger actions A, if it says updated it will trigger actions B.

How do I capture new Facebook group member emails and add them to email list?

I’m needing a way to capture a new Facebook group member’s email address when they join and add it to my email platform  and email list. It seems this feature is not yet available. So my question is, what is a workaround for this? Is there a zap or series of zaps that I can set up that can help me do the same thing a different way?

How to automatically create a Sleep block in my Google Calendar after a night shift?

I work shifts and run a business. I subscribe to my shift schedule (a URL) on google calendar.    I would like to be able to block off the day automatically after a night shift. There is a zapier template for a preparation block of time before specific meetings based on using a search phrase, but I can’t find one for a post-meeting block of time. In my case, I would like to automatically set up a calendar “event” to sleep for X hours after my night shift ends.  I appreciate any ideas you might have.

Rename new dropbox file to have the same name as it's containing folder

Is there a zap flow that would do the following:When a new file is added to dropbox, rename the file to have the same name as it’s containing folder.  So each new file should adopt it’s containing folder’s name. For anyone wondering, each folder will already have a unique name so there’s no issue of overwriting.

Using Zapier as middleware

I am interested in the architecture of Zapier first, before getting into the detail.I can see how I could use a Retrieve Poll to pick up for example a group of orders from one application. Is there a way to parse the data in Zapier, before run a POST to a second application to send the orders to that application - because the two applications refer to the data differently?Is it relevant that the first application is already connected to Zapier (but has no relevant Zaps created), but the second application is not?Is it better to use tools other than Zapier, or is this perfectly feasible?I support many customers on the first application, and have many potentially different scenarios of posting to or getting data from other applications, both already in the Zapier community (eg Shopify, WooCommerce) and also not in the community. I’m keen to understand whether Zapier represents a good potential middleware solution with hopefully replicatable code, even if this requires some coding inside

Where to place Looping action in a Zap?

I have asked this before, and I am still trying to figure it out, so let me give my scenario…Original Zap:Trigger: New Entry Cognito Form > Action: Create a folder in google drive > Action: Upload Entry Form from new entry into that new created folder > Action: Upload reference materials from new entry into same folder.Needless to say this zap failed. It uploaded the document into the test folder from the original zap test set up.What I need zapier to do is create a new folder for a custom order in google drive. Then, in the same zap, pull the documentation from that form (Order form and reference materials uploaded by customer) and place it in the SAME folder that was created from that new entry. Im not sure how this will work or where I should place the Looping action, after the folder creation?

Automating emails from Pipedrive so that they are sent within existing email threads instead of new threads.

Hi,I wanted to know if there is a way to automate the sending of an email on Pipedrive without creating a new email thread? For example, if a Deal is rotting or inactive for 3 days, we want to be able to send an email to our lead within the same email thread that they contacted us on instead of starting an entirely new thread. Thanks in advance!

Map Text field (many options/variations) to picklist field (limited options) in Salesforce

Hey all,I’m importing leads/contacts into our CRM Salesforce and they come with an assigned industry (~150 options for this industry field). Within Salesforce, I would like this industry field to be mapped to our internal industry definitions - which is a picklist field with only 10 options. F.e. If I import a contact that has “Banking” under Industry, I would like to have that mapped to our internal industry field and say “services”. I’m not sure where to start and how to get this done, any help is appreciated!

Do you have an Active Directory integration?

Hi, I’m pretty new with Zapier and am hoping this community can point me in the right direction in solving this: Whenever there is a new hire or an employee needs access to something my team manages, we must add them in G-Suite (GS) & MS Active Directory. However, we would like to only have to add new users to GS without having to also go to AD and add them. The issue we’re experiencing is we have a scheduled task that pushes the AD data to GS, overwriting everything is GS.  So what we would like is to find a way to use Zapier for whenever we add a new user to GS, a zap will automatically populate AD with the data from GS. Does this make any sense and is this possible? Thanks and respectfully, Jay

SMS photo instead of url

Recently I’ve received some cool SMS texts from people, and their photo opens right up in the body of the text.  Not a URL that I click, but the actual photo.  I want to have zapier link my Active Campaign in and send out these types of texts to selected clients..I can get the photo url included in the outgoing text msg...but not a photo. I’m an experienced Zap dude...but am stuck on this one.

Airtable Record ID Not Importing Correctly

SOLVED! In Airtable, my record ID field is a “Single Line Text Field” (not a linked record field), but when it is pulled into Zapier, it shows as a referenced cell’s ID.  I know how to use a formula to create a workaround, but I’d like to know why the cell text value is not importing into Zapier?Thanks,Dave

Missing data from Facebook to Google Sheets

When a new data comes in from Facebook, I link in to Google Sheets via Zapier. But somehow, the data is not entirely translated into my Google Sheets (i.e. there’s missing data such as names). From Google Sheets, I link to ClickSend and Google Contacts. But there’s missing data in Google Contacts. It’s a chain effect and all these are via Zapier.Hence, how do I solve this issue of missing data when I link FB to Google Sheets using Zapier?

File naming protocol on upload to drive

Re. Autosave new attachments from Gmail to Google Drive. I’m applying this zap to emails which all have the same format (they’re auto-generated by another piece of software). Within the body of the email is the name I would like to give the file/attachment. For example: Body text of the email message reads: “Your document <N001> has been approved.”Then I would like the file name for the attachment to be “N001” Is it possible to set a naming protocol where the zap can identify the “N001” from the body of the email and make this the filename for the attachment when it uploads it? Thanks!

Freshdesk to Service Now Integration

Hello,Has anyone used Zapier to integrate FreshDesk and Service Now? We have a customer who uses Service now and we use freshdesk, They want to automate tickets from Freshdesk to Service Now. Do all Freshdesk new created tickets need to be created in Zapier for this to work or can someone create a ticket in Freshdesk that will feed to Service now through Zapier? If so, what's the best practice on getting the parameters and fields in freshdesk to correctly fill and match the corresponding fields in Service now? Thank you.

Hey there! I have a question about a webhook im running. I discovered that webhooks only bring the first 100 items found, while I try to get more than 1000 items, is there a way to increase or solve this? If you dont understand what I mean with items, here is a picture for explaining:As you can see it loads “data” from 0-99, and all the records after 99 are not returned. Hope you can help! Best,Frisse Blikken

Quickbooks Online Payment Creation (Object Not Found)

Hi all, I’m new here and trying to create one of my first Zaps.   It seems pretty simple,  I have a form from Formsite that is collecting payment information for Invoices.   Once the invoice is paid with FormSite,  a Zap reads the information and sends it to Quickbooks Online.    All that is going well, I have a zap that is triggered by the result,  it looks up the invoice number in quickbooks and then goes to apply the payment.    When it tries to apply the payment I get an error message that says “Object Not Found”.    I’ve completed all the fields so I don’t know what I’m missing.   Can anyone shed some light on this?
