How do I send direct messages in slack based on the assignee of a ticket in zendesk?

Hi there,I’d like to set up a zap which sends a direct message to a user based on a ticket event and the assignee of that ticket in zendesk.For this purpose I’m trying to use: Send Slack direct messages for new Zendesk ticketsI’ve then created a view which returns open tickets.The bit I’m struggling with, is how to set the username notified to be variable upon who the ticket is assigned to in Zendesk.In the custom fields it has zendesk assignee email, but when I test the zap I get a channel not found error.I’ve tested the trigger and it picks up the ticket perfectly. So I’m pretty certain the issue is with going from the zendesk assignee’s email to a slack users DM.Has anyone done this before, or know a way to set it up?

Passing Params in defined format via JSON

The issue I am hitting I beleive comes down to the fact that the App I am hitting expects the data to define ‘user’.I have no issues sending the info from Zapier when I hardcode the payload as defined below.{"membershipId": `xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx`,"user": {"email": "urna@example.com","name": "Urna Semper","tz": "Europe/Paris"}}The issue comes when I leverage the Input Data. The App I am sending to expects it in the format above. Code Example The test hits the App successfully… it just doesn’t do anything as it is expecting those three data elements defined as ‘user’.

Stripe Cancelled Subscriptions - Differentiating Between Auto and Manual Cancellations

Hi all! I’ve got a Zap that basically goes Stripe (Cancelled Subscription) → Gmail (to email and notify me). The idea is that I get notified of any cancelled subscriptions - but I only want to be notified if the cancellation was triggered by declined payments, not by me manually cancelling subscriptions myself. Stripe is set up to try charging a client’s credit card four times then if it declines on the fourth attempt, Stripe auto cancels their subscription - and that’s what I want to be notified about! (There is no setting in Stripe itself for this)I’ve tried Stripe (Cancelled Subscription) but it triggers even when I manually cancel a subscription myself (so obviously I don’t need a notification). Is there a way, perhaps in the metadata, to make it only trigger on the auto cancels? Anyone know?

Using the Campaign Monitor action step to update subscriber's multi-choice custom field

Hello! This is a question about updating a multi-choice custom field for a subscriber in Campaign Monitor. So I have a multi-choice custom field called “Services”, with choice “Service A”, “Service B”, and “Service C”. Using the templated action step, what does Campaign Monitor’s API need me to encode in the field to jive with their expected request?Here’s what I mean. In this screenshot, you can see I’ve got multiple values I want to assert:The test returns a success message, but these fields are not recognized on CM’s end: So the question is: What do I need to do in the Zapier field action step to match CM’s API endpoint? It access nested JSON requests, according to CM documentation, but how do I translate that using this templated action?Of course, I could construct a HTTP request using Zapier, but I’d rather not go through that trouble if I don’t have to. Zapier’s out of the box CM template should be able to handle ingesting multi-choice inputs for custom fields.Thanks! Tom

Inserting Line items from 2 tables to Xero

I have 2 SQL tables that work toghether as a bill. One has name of a person, date, and ItemID that links to other table, where it can be seen which items does he want to have or buy.Tables look like this: I want to insert the last added row in table1, but also all the items that belong to that row. For example the complete row for the Xero bill should look something like this, for last row in table1:Joe,2021-27-03,[Fuel,Oil],[20,2],[1.4,1.7]. All in one row and in arrays, so it can be imported to Xero bill.Can this be done somehow through Zapier? I know it has a Format option, where you can get line items from array. But not sure how to do it from 2 tables like this.

Scrape twitter poll information and put results into spreadsheet

Hi there, brand new to zapier. I’m currently trying to find a solution for a project that I’m working on involving running multiple twitter polls. I am trying to take the live and finished results of that poll and put them into a spreadsheet where I am keeping track. I am sourcing polls from other areas of the internet as well so the spreadsheet is sort of the catch-all for results.I’d like to try to avoid using the twitter API and it looks like I can scrape tweets but I am struggling specifically with getting the twitter poll information in there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looking for help with Zoom Zaps

I have been using Zapier for a couple of months now and everything is working well.  I want to take the process to the next level. Current Process:MANAULLY create a Zoom Webinar in ZOOM account (ie., Webinar “A”). MANUALLY create a ZAP to will take all Webinar “A” registrants and add (or update) their registration info in our existing MailChimp Audience account.New Process:Is there a way to automate Step 2?  Therefore, I go into my ZOOM Acount, create the new webinar only. After the Zoom activity, Zapier autmaotially recognizes the new webinar and continues to monitor for registrations like all the other webinars. The problem I face is that I cannot figure out how to get Zapier to automatically recognize the addition of any new webinars automatically.  Since I am new to Zapier, maybe someone else figured out how to do this.  Thank you in advance!

How to split text into columns (correctly)

I am trying to use Formatter>Text>Split Text to split a single field into multiple columns. This works currently with a comma set as the delimiter but later when I tested the parsing with a field with a comma in it, it split that one field into two separate columns in error. Here’s what the originating data looks like when I click to select it in Zapier:And here’s what the output looks using only a comma as the delimiter, once it has been sent to a Google sheet: You can see that the first row of data came over fine but on the second one I filled out the form with a comma in the first two fields (in the source program) and when Zapier captured it then processed in “Split Text”, it split the fields at that comma, resulting in 4 columns where there should only be 2, pushing the rest out to the right. Is there any way to split this out more accurately with a better delimiter or a different function besides Split Text? I tried splitting by “],[“ and also “,” and ‘”,”’ but all of these

Retroactively Catch Data From Webhook After Trial Ends

Hello everyone. I had zaps running with Catch Hooks getting data from an automation program which pushed data and then Zapier processed that into Trello. But I had those webhooks running during my 14 days trial and forgot to purchase the premium license when it ended (which caused the zaps to shut down). Question is: if I purchase the premium license now and reactivate the zap will it be able to get all the data that was pushed during the time the zap was deactivated? Thank you.
