How to automate document creation from form input, convert to PDF, and get signatures?

I’ve been working on this for days and can’t seem to figure it out. Maybe it isn’t possible.  I’ve read tons of articles and community posts. I’ve also tried several other services (plumsnail, PDF.io, DocuSign, DropBox Sign) and every time I run into some kind of roadblock that prevents the process from continuing. Here is the process in outline form (I’m not married to any of this - I just want the end result): New client fills out webform (right now a Google form) Input data from the form populates {{replacement_tags}} in a template (right now a google doc template called Agreement_Template. The newly created document is named Agreement_client’s_name and saved in a separate folder called Client Agreements) Some data is raw conversion: {{name}}=Name Some data is conditional: if project A - {{fee}}=$925, if project B - {{fee}}=$850, etc. That new document needs to be converted to PDF (every document will have a unique name) I think I can trigger on “new file in folder” with that new

Jira Cloud: Description field contents aren't available intact

When setting up the Action for a “Update Issue in JIRA Software Cloud” step, a Description field is available to “Enter text or Insert data” , but when attempting to pull existing Description data from a previous step(Find Issue in Jira Software Cloud), there is no Description field in the "Insert Data” list.  Description on JIRA Issue:    The closest thing I found was "Fields Description Content Content Text”. It contains the text from the Description, but any formatting / links are stripped out, and each line becomes separated by comma.   If I am attempting to append to this Description field, I would lose formatting, line breaks, links, etc. on Description.  Description on JIRA Issue after testing the action:  Does anyone know the reason why this works this way? Is there a limitation of some kind in the way Zapier gets it’s data from Jira Software Cloud for this “App”? Is there anything that could be done so I could append to a field like Description, and retain all of the current c

Dynamic Number of Fields

So, I’ve reviewed everything I can find in the community about this topic and don’t see anything directly on point.  I am using a form tool (DecisionVault) to gather information from clients.  Some of this information includes birthdates of their children.  There is a field for date of birth for each child (e.g. child1_dob, child2_dob, child3_dob, etc.). These show up in the record coming in from the Zap step requesting the contact information from the form software.  The number of children is obviously variable and the form software just adds more fields as needed.  What I need to do is iterate over all of the dob fields and determine if any of the children are minors.  I plan to use date math to determine if they are minors or not.  The problems I’m having are 1) how to handle the fact that the fields can vary based on number of children and 2) how can I just pull out all of the dob fields from the recordset and parse those.  What I think would work for 1) is using a wildcard, but I

Changing wording (year vs years) based on amount

Hi there! I’m using a Zap to automate sending work anniversary messages to a Slack channel, based on an employee’s start date in Airtable.Currently, the Zap is quite simple. The trigger is when a record in Airtable hits a specific “birthday” view. We’re using a few calculations in Airtable to determine tenure (e.g. 1 year or 3 years) and using this along with employee name to create a congratulatory message with the action being send a DM on Slack.I’m curious if it is possible to determine whether the amount is singular or multiple and change the message such as “Congrats on 1 year” or “Congrats on 3 years.”Thanks!

Date more than 1 month

We are organizing events.The trigger is Trello, if a label is put on a card.The event's data is looked up in a Giigle Sheets table, which also has a date. The zap after many steps should wait till the event's date -2 days. I use the delay task for that, it is formatter that creates the date data. This all works fine, but if the event's [date-2day] is further in time compared to the trigger date, than 1 month, the zap stops with an error message, "Delay date can not be longer than 1 month". We do have events which are in the next month, so further in time than the zap triggers. I need the zap to send a reminder email to the client exactly 2 days before the event. Do you have a suggestion how to work this out? Thank you. Cheers, Michael

Microsoft 365 integration - Admin how to?

Please advise exactly what steps our MS 365 admin needs to take to enable the integration between Zapier and our Enterprise 365 account?When making a zap I was asked to authenticate as an admin (for a Zap to Outlook).I am not an admin of our 365 account and thus cannot do this.Obviously Zapier would not need every user who will employ integrations between Zapier and MS 365 to be an admin, as this is going to be almost zero users in any enterprise-level 365 account.It suggests to have our MS 365 admin grant permission to Zapier - so, how exactly does our admin do this?Where is the how-to or instructions for our 365 Admin to grant permission to Zapier for all users (or specific users, also fine) to link the two services, so that said users need only authenticate with their usual MS credentials.Thanks in advance. screenshot of authentication error message

How to accept donations in Braintree from a Webflow form

So, I set a trigger. Form submission in webflow. This connects, it finds the form, and the fields are available.It asks for an action. I connect to braintree, which it does successfully. Now that I am connected, the only action I can make is to create a new customer.Maybe I am not understanding the flow of zapier, but I see no way to accept donation payments in braintree while using zapier as a relay hub from webflow.Am I wrong in this assessment? I understand if the platform is not designed to handle this, but maybe I just don’t quite get how to configure zapier to bridge these two.Does anyone have experience with this? Can Zapier bridge webflow with braintree to accept donation payments?

How do I integrate Mailchimp with HubSpot and map fields when transferring or creating contacts?

Hi,I am New to Zapier having been trying a few options to Integrate our MailChimp Account with HubSpot.I have successfully enabled the ZAP and sent a Test Contact to HubSpot from MailChimp but there are a few Questions I have been unable to confirm before I Publish it and as I have a Free Account I cannot get any Support from Zapier. I am sure the Questions are easy enough if someone could guide me please:If I Publish the Integration, will it only pull in new Contacts from that stage forward or will it try to copy all the Contacts from the Mailchimp DB into Hubspot? The MailChimp Audience we have is in 2 Segments, ON TRADE and OFF TRADE, Is there a way in which that data can be copied over into HubSpot so that we know which type of Business they are? In MailChimp, we have a field for “COMPANY” but when I was setting up the Integration I did not see the option to FIELD MAP Company from MailChimp into HubSpot. Any ideas? As we have a FREE LICENSE with both HubSpot and Zapier, is there a

I’m getting the above error. The destination table in Airtable is indeed externally synced—I have it embedded into a site. But that seems irrelevant? External syncing does not impact the data in the destination table. Is there a way around this error?

Hi!I’ve successfully created a lookup table to map my Cognito Forms request for quote form to Quickbooks product SKUs.Some of my products require multiple answers (and therefore inputs in the left hand side of the lookup) to define which Quickbook product should be selected.  How should the Lookup keys be separated in the Lookup key section? Do they need separating?I’ve tried using “+” in the left hand column of the lookup table as shown above, but unsuccessfully. How do I combine the two required values in the left hand side? Thank you!
