Shuffle / Randomize order of input values

Context: we create 4 different Instagram stories for one item with Creatomate based on the RSS input (which are received as urls. After that we upload those with a delay between each story. Our problem: every time the stories are uploaded in the same order, would it be possible to shuffle the order? We know there is the formatter, however this only picks one random story/item (so there is a chance that next time it grabs the same random picked story).

Additional Hubspot Properties Not Getting Retrieved

I’m trying to create a Zap utilizing Hubspot properties beyond what Zapier would normally pull. While the properties do show up in the list of “Additional properties to retrieve”, they do not show up in the list of “Properties to retrieve” even after refreshing the fields, and the new properties can’t be used in any following steps. This seems to be happening with every additional property, no matter the format. Any suggestions on why this might be occurring?

Overcoming the Token Limit: A Challenge with Cyrillic Text Transfer from Google Docs to OpenAI

Hi guys!I'm trying to make a Zap to transfer text from a Google Doc into OpenAI for subsequent summary preparation. The challenge is that large texts cannot be directly transferred to OpenAI due to a token limit of 4097. Thus, I plan to divide the large text into smaller segments, send each to OpenAI, and then synthesize the results into a single output. This pipeline is well-described in this video (https://youtu.be/mdqr85ZtKYs?t=556). I used it as a guide when creating my Zap, which functions perfectly on the reference model.The process follows these steps:Identify a new document in a Google Doc folder.   Clear temporary storage with Zapier Storage at each Zap launch.   Determine the number of words in the source document with Zapier Formatter. In my case, the document contains 7518 Cyrillic words.   Cut the large text into pieces of 2500 words with Zapier Code.   Loop the subsequent algorithm for all segments with Zapier Looping.   Send the prompt to OpenAI.   However, I'm enco

Google Calendar Auto Block when Event is Created

I’m trying to figure out how to create a Zap so that when an event is added to Google Calendar, it automatically adds a 30 minute block/buffer after the event. I manage a shared business space where we use Google Calendar as the hub for our individual appointments. Some folks add the event straight to Google Calendar, some folks have a 3rd party booking system (Acuity/Scedulista) connected to the shared Google Calendar.The big problem is that the 3rd party booking systems do not add the buffer time from their platform over to  Google Calendar, creating a situation where appointments could accidentally be booked back-to-back.

Incorrectly mapped email in the contact field for granting course access for Stripe Payments.

I have set up a Zap to grant customers access to an online course after a Stripe payment, but mistakenly had my own email in the “email” field since I had been testing it, so the email to grant access went to me.I have added the student manually, but for the future, do I choose “checkout session completed” as the “event”, and then “customer details email” in the contact field for the “action”? (see screenshots) I tried to test it but it didn’t return any data, which I suppose makes sense since there is no customer or email to be tested.TIA

LinkedIn Lead Gen Form: Inconsistent data output leads to missing data fields

Hi,I have run a campaign on LinkedIn connecting to our Marketing Automation system with the Zapier LinkedIn Lead Gen integration.First step after data is received is a filter in order avoid creating a new zap for each lead ad, as they need to send out different content from the MA system. However, I now see that the filter isn't working always as intended. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And this depends on how LinkedIn delivers the data to Zapier, or how Zapier pull the data from LinkedIn. As you can see in the screenshot, the same Zap is working and not working in the same time frame. The data input is however different, so the data field my filter is looking at only exists in some cases.Can somebody please explain what is happening, so I can avoid this in the future?

Trello to Todoist - when I am added to a card

I am trying to create a zap that will (1) trigger when my username is added to a trello card on a specific board and (2) create a todoist entry based on that card (3) ideally, but not necessarily, with any attachments carried over.For (1) I am using the “new member added to card” trigger and adding a filter on my username. I looked at the trello activity trigger, but, oddly, it doesn’t seem to contain an action for identifying a user added to a card.I am running into issues with (2) because there is no available data (for the todo title, etc.) other than the user’s full and account names and not anything about the card itself, which leads me to believe that I am looking at this trigger incorrectly. So… any ideas how to create a zap that sees I have been added to a card and creates a todoist task containing the card name and, if at all possible, any attachments?

Error adding participants to Calendar event

We have a zap that, when a new record is created in an Airtable base (this is someone who signed up for practice sessions), should invite them to the corresponding event.   First it broke because it stopped finding the event. I found this article that describes this issue, so I added an intermediate “Find event” step to get the event ID.   Now it broke because it finds the event, but returns an error reading“The app returned "Internal error encountered."” when trying to send the invite. (see attached image) I can’t find anything specific about the error, or any information online about it. It was working fine until June 13th, can you think of anything that might have broke?

Clickup Time Tracking App

We are using Zapier to create tasks in Clockify, which works great.However, the ClickUp time tracking app requires workspace, space and list entries to add time to a task. Why can this not simply be the taskid, as the task could be moved before time is allocated?Anyone got any ideas how to get around this?Thanks in advance...

"Find Data" not finding data for GitHub app

I created a straightforward GitHub→Slack zap, but something is going wrong with the first (GitHub) step. The “Find Data” operation worked once, when I set the zap up, but since then it hasn’t been able to retrieve any new issues. The “We're checking for a new issue in GitHub. Create a new issue in GitHub. We'll keep trying for 3 minutes.” notification shows up, but no new samples are returned. The zap also doesn’t get triggered, though loads of issues are being created. Under “Customize Issue”, I’m filtering only on “Organization”. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues with the GitHub app?

Hi,I'm trying to set up a zap between Stripe and Mailchimp and I'm wondering if it's possible to do the trigger based on only specific charges. I.e. I don't want all paying customers in Stripe to go through to the Mailchimp mailing list - only a certain number of them, which is based on a 'custom value' found in the Stripe description field.Is it possible to set up this custom trigger?

Hello Community, I would like to update our inventory in WooCommerce from a spreadsheet (Excel or Sheets, does not matter) every day, at 00:01.  Is it possible to automate this process? I have no idea how to even begin this process as we are not changing the inventory levels in a spreadsheet, but rather have the levels go back to the same number everyday.   Thank you!

Can Amazon Alexa app be triggered to manage IoT devices?

Hello,I think the answer is 'no', but can Amazon-Alexa be triggered by another Zapier app to manage IoT devices? For example, can it be triggered to control temperature settings, turn off/on lights, etc?   It looks like that this integration is for triggering other apps and cannot be used for home automation, correct?Thanks!Doug
