How do I connect Typeform to Flodesk to setup a mailing list?

I have my typeform quiz created with a place to input name and email address right before they get their quiz results. I have my flodesk segment prepped and ready to go with the “wedding style segment.” It is asking me to select the option for the client email address and names but now I have no idea which to select because none of the options look like the email address input. I’m not sure how to move forward from here.

How can I take a Google Calendar and auto-translate from English to Spanish to be embedded onto webstie

So I figure there has to be a simple no code solution for this, but maybe I am wrong. I have several calendars that I have created for upcoming events. Some are rather static, where others will have items added to them over time. I have embedded these calendars onto my website in English and that’s fine. We also have Spanish pages for our website too. I would like to auto-translate the content from that calendar that displays on the website. Is there any simple way for Zapier to help with this? Is there a simpler solution that I am not seeing that doesn’t involve APIs or Javascript? I guess I thought that google calendar would just have a translate option before grabbing the embed code, but I just don’t see it. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks.

Enabling JotForm Forms to Go Live (accept submissions) at a specific time/day

It’s really incredible that JotForm lacks a straightforward ability to schedule when a form should “go live”, i.e. be enabled to accept submissions, but if that feature exists, I haven’t found it (and their Support staff don’t know about it either).So it seems like a Zap could be created with a scheduled trigger to enable the form (at the specified time/date); has anyone seen anything like this in action and if so, how was it set up and what are the advantages and disadvantages compared to the alternative of creating a cumbersome set of epoch-based date & time & show & hide conditions within the form?

Stuck in a Loop: Forwarding Image (File) from Slack Channel A to B to A to B to A...

I’ve reviewed this thread and tried the proposed solution:  I’m trying to take an image/screenshot posted on Channel A and automatically post it in Channel B. The problem is that when the image is posted as a New File on Channel B, it triggers the same Zap and forwards the image back to Channel A, which then triggers the Zap and forwards the “new” image to Channel B, and so on and so forth. Here’s my setup: Zap Setup: Forward Images from Channel A to Channel BStep 1: New File (the image) in SlackStep 2: Determine Channel A Name from Channel B ID​​​Step 3: Determine Channel B ID from Channel A NameStep 4: Send Channel Message in Slack Send Channel Message in Slack And here’s the table I see to create the relationship between Channels A and B:

Randomly today i have received a tonne of emails saying: Error message: Task was stopped because its Zap was turned off during its execution. is this because my google sheet is taking too long to respond (data heavy) or is this something else? I turn the zap on fine it runs one replay and turns off again

Assistance Needed: Error 500 and Field Mapping in Apizeal-Zapier Integration

Hello Zapier Community,I'm encountering a challenge with my Zapier integration with Apizeal and would greatly appreciate any guidance or insights you can offer.Issue Description: I've been trying to set up a Zap. The intention is to create a contact based on the information poulated on the form. However, I'm consistently running into an HTTP 500 error when the Zap attempts to run, which seems to be originating from the Apizeal side.Steps Taken So Far:Checked Apizeal's operational status (no issues reported). Ensured the Zap's configuration seems correct. Verified the accuracy of API keys and authentication details. Monitored for any potential rate limits or quota exceedances.Specific Questions:Has anyone faced similar issues with Apizeal integrations on Zapier, particularly involving HTTP 500 errors? Are there any known compatibility issues or recent changes in Apizeal's API that might be affecting this? I'm also seeking advice on field mapping between Zapier and Apizeal. How should I

Zap not pulling repeat customer data from Wix form to Microsoft Excel

I have set up a Zap to pull data into an excel spreadsheet from a Wix enquiry form. This is working for new customers but if the person has sent a previous enquiry, the data doesn’t pull through from wix to excel. I only realised then when I was testing the Zap by adding my own details to the enquiry form, if I added random names and addresses it works perfectly but doesn’t pull anything through with my name and address on the form. Does anyone have any ideas on how this can be fixed?

Updating a ticket in Zendesk triggers an update in Jira

Hi, I have an integration for when a new ticket is created in Zendesk that it creates a new item in Jira. And when that item in Jira is updated, it updates the Zendesk ticket. Now I’m looking to create a zap where when a ticket is updated in Zendesk (probably via a comment), it will update the Jira item (probably also as a comment). Starting this zap, the only action that looks like it’d work would be “New Action on Ticket,” but its description is “Triggers when there is activity (an audit) on a specific ticket. Can only watch one ticket per Zap.” I’m not seeing a way to have this be dynamic. Is there a generalized way to have this work for all tickets in the view so that any time one gets updated it triggers a zap? Am I missing something? Thanks!

How do I sync and update ticket notes between Halo and Zendesk using Zapier?

Hey, I’m attempting to try and find a way to keep tickets updated between the two platforms? I.e. when an agent updates a public note, it gets synced and updated between the two platforms. However, I can’t seam to get around Zendesk/Zapier only watching a single ticket at a time, I can’t seam to work with a variable or see a way in which, the following is done. Every 10mins → Check for updates on tickets with category of “xxx”  → Update Halo Is anyone aware of a better way this can be done?

Product board to slack feed not providing complete information despite delay

My goal is to set up a zap integration between Productboard and slack, such that new notes added to product are posted into a dedicated Productboard-feed slack channel.I first set up a zap that looks like this: Trigger: new note in Productboard Post to a dedicated Productboard feed slack channel with the title, content, and link of the Productboard noteWhat I noticed, though, is that most of the posts to slack with this trigger were empty of content. No title, no content; only a link. I experimented with this a bit and noticed that if I immediately put information into the new note, it would be included in the slack message that was posted. If, however, I added some information, left the tab for a moment, and then came back and added more, only the initial information would be included.My assumption is that when most people create a new note, they perhaps take a moment to gather information and fill out the note. And the ProductBoard notes autosave pretty quickly, which likely sets off

Exploring Advanced Automation: ChatGPT, High-Level Scripts, and Databases

I'm diving into advanced automation, trying to combine ChatGPT with fancy scripts like NumPy and Pandas, plus databases. While Zapier is useful, it might not handle this fancy stuff well.I've got two big questions: Better Than Zapier?: Are there any other tools like Zapier that can handle the job of smoothly mixing ChatGPT, these scripts, and databases for advanced automation? Supercharging Zapier: Can we make Zapier even better by adding these advanced tools into its mix of 6000+ apps? If so, how can we do it?

Upload ChatGPT message into Google Sheet

Hi all,I need to re-build my old chat on ChatGPT4 that was using the Zapier plug-in in order to upload some information returned by ChatGPT4 into a Google Spreadsheet.After the recent changes in ChatGPT4 (probably related to customGPT), my old chat can’t integrate anymore with Zapier and it seems ChatGPT4 is not able anymore to upload that information.Before these changes, when I asked to ChatGPT to upload that information in Google Sheet via Zapier, it sent the request in a JSON format, and Zapier had an action to do that istantly.Now I would like to build the same thing with the new AI Actions, but it turned very complicated.Any help? Thanks!

Campaign Monitor email image not setting as featured WP post image

Hi Community, I am currently setting up a Zap to parse data and images from an HTML email from Campaign Monitor and then create a wordpress post. I cant for the life of me figure out how to get the featured image to set properly. I have managed to get the data extracted from the HTML email which also includes a header image hosted on the website I am creating the post on, however in the wordpress create a post action, when I set the featured image field to the image link from the email (https://mywebsite.com/myimage.jpg) it doesn’t add it to the featured image of the post.  My idea is to create a news post when we send out a new product announcement email from campaign monitor with a featured image and body text. If anyone has any better ideas or ways to achieve this then I would be super grateful.  Thanks,CMI Music

Can I slow down zaps in between each execution?

I have a zap that sends items pasted into a google sheet to another vendor’s app. It’s actually placing an order for something with that vendor. Usually 3-4 items are pasted into the google sheet at a time. The problem is that after an order placed with this vendor if another comes in within 3 minutes it triggers their fraud protection. Is there a way I can make it so that when the zap runs, it waits before executing again?
