Creating recurring events in google calendar from google sheet

Hello,I’m new to Zapier and couldn’t find an answer by searching (I apologize if this has been answered before).  Does anyone know the easiest way to create an event that repeats every 11 weeks in google calendar whenever a new row is added to a google sheet?  I figured out how to add an event, but I cant figure out how to make the event repeat every 11 weeks.  Thanks!

Remove specific commas from list

Is anyone can help me to remove default comma in the output? And change it to newline without using code or replace. Because most of the output is number, so I need to remove the default comma in the first place of the string.

How do I get the sender's information of a DocuSign envelope?

Hi!I am trying to set up a Zap that triggers when an envelope is sent on DocuSign, filters documents only sent by certain members of my organisation, and sends an email to the sender of that envelope. However, I have set up the trigger and run a few tests and it seems like Zapier doesn’t return the sender’s information, which is very frustrating because other similar platforms do. Is there a workaround to this that would allow me to find the sender’s name and email?

Regex code to capitalize the first letter of each sentence

Looking for a way to achieve the following effect.I have a Zap that converts voicenote transcripts into markdown text. The text it produces currently looks something like this:## heading- first dot point- second dot point- third dot pointThe notes can be varying lengths, and it’s possible there are errors that occasionally creep in and it doesn’t look quite this neat.I’d like a step to capitalise the first letter on each line (the one immediately following ## or -), so that it looks like this instead:## Heading- First dot point- Second dot point- Third dot pointI’m assuming I need to use a Code step including regex, but this is starting to stretch my capabilities and can’t find a clear way to do it.Appreciate any help that can be provided!

Paid Zoho Invoice > New Shopify Order - Line items not mapping properly

I have created a zap that triggers when an invoice is noted as “Paid” in Zoho Invoice, to then send that as an order to Shopify for fulfillment.The issue is, the line items are not mapping properly to my Shopify SKUs, so the order is created for items that don’t exist.I’ve tried this fix, but the action to find product/variant by title fails to find a product in Shopify. This happens if I try using the SKU numbers and the product names.Any help/ guidance would be greatly appreciated! I feel like I’m (___) this close to getting this to work.

Facebook / Instagram - Custom Response Required for Webhook to get Story Insights

Hello, I am trying to set up a webhook from Instagram that will carry “story_insight”.  Since I already have zapier I was hoping to be able to leverage the system. I set up a zap where I can receive a webhook.  Facebook expects that we can process 2 different types of webhooks, one is a verification and the other in my case is “story_insights”.  I am running into an issue with the Verification setup.  It appears that FB webhooks expect me to respond back with a couple fields… one my own personally set key. The other is a challenge “int”.  I can receive the request, however, I am not sure how to get this information back in the response.  Please advise.  It would be very cool to be able to access this feature of IG / FB webhooks - hopefully someone has an idea.  Originally I got the request, then was going to setup a path one for verifications and the other for stories… but I’m pretty sure this won’t work due to the response that Zapier originally gives to the GET request from IG. If it

Update a spreadsheet based on a gmail containing a 'yes' or 'no'

Hello, ProblemI’m trying to configure an automation to update a spreadsheet column, specifically:A form is submitted, triggering a notification email The recipient replies to the email with ‘yes or ‘no’ The reply keyword is used to update a column that corresponds to their email. -this column is an approval column The ‘yes’ will trigger an automation to send the approved form submission to our payment processor.Currently I have this set with the approval being done manually on a spreadsheet, but I would like to remove this step, as it spreadsheets to intimidate my office mates lol. QuestionsIs it possible to update rows dynamically with a term pulled from an email? Is it possible to look up new rows corresponding to the specific email only to avoid duplication? Example, the lookup value is the email address replying yes. But these manager emails are used repeatedly. Will Zap only look up new row? Is it possible to embed an html button that could be clicked from within the body of an em

What are best practices for separating first and last name using Formatter: Split Text?

I’m setting up formatter: split text to separate a full name field into a first and last name field. I am using the Segment Index: All (as Separate Fields). This is my setup:First Name: Item 1Last Name: Item 2I think it will work great when people just enter a first and last name:First Name: StephenLast Name: StrangeMy fear is that people will occasionally enter titles and additional names. Would Dr. Stephen Vincent Strange become:First Name: Dr.Last Name: StephenWould I lose all of the extra data? What is the best practice here? Without some sort of name-parsing AI - I think the best outcome would be letting the extra fields get added to the last name field somehow. What would that look like?or is there an option to pass text with more than 2 segments in a different way? I could have these flagged for manual review into our CRM. And if any of this is possible will it require a lot of extra tasks? The way I have it set up - it should just be one task.Any best practices or tips / tricks

How do I return video metadata from Dropbox file using a webhook?

Hey there, I’m looking to run a webhook call to the Dropbox API to return some video metadata, which is possible through the “get_metadata” call found here:https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-get_metadata I understand getting the basic info, which I’ve got working, but I’m very green about API calls through webhooks. I’m just looking to pull metadata for a video, but I’m not exactly sure how the “data” fields in the webhook would need to be set up since when you set “include_media_info” to “true” it seems the call is looking for another parameter or a different data input which I can’t figure out from the docs. I get an error that says “true is not a valid boolean.” I tried creating a new key/value pair with “FileMetadata.media_info” set to “video” like the docs maybe suggested(?) but I get a different error “FileMetadata.media_info not a valid field.” Would anyone be willing to help? What am I missing? Thanks!

Can Zappier access confidential information in programs it's integrated with?

Hi -- I am interested in using Zappier and had a specific question about Zappier’s ability to “pull” data when it’s integrated with certain software.  For instance, if I create a Zap between Zendesk and Slack, does Zappier have access to all information stored within each of those program’s accounts, or can it only “touch” information for which it has been permitted to do through designated rules?  In other words, if the connected Zendesk account has information stored in Sections A-Z, but Zaps are created to automate certain activity for information contained in exclusively in Sections A and B, is there any way Zappier can extract or access data from Sections C-Z of the Zendesk account?

Openphone voicemail data not coming through

I’ve set up a zap that triggers once a call from Openphone is completed but filters out if there is no voicemail. The problem I’m running into is that a lot of the time it doesn’t capture that there was a voicemail when there actually was and filters out the zap. Sometimes the voicemail is captured and everything works great. Would anyone know if this would be a zapier problem or an openphone problem? Thank you!
