How to prevent repeating back-and-forth Zaps?

I have a web app and mobile app that pull from separate databases, but still need to keep up to date with each other. My web app is working from MySQL, and I am developing a Native mobile app on Adalo. I have very similar Zaps that, for instance, create a new record in Adalo if a new row is created in MySQL, and vice-versa. The issue is, when the first Zap is executed, it triggers the same Zap in the opposite direction. This will continue back-and-forth until a new row tries to be created in MySQL that is a duplicate, and will stop in Zapier because of this error (ie. user enters new record in Adalo → New row created in MySQL → Another (repeated) record created in Adalo → Error message in Zapier as we cannot duplicate this Adalo record). For my Zaps that involve creating a record in Adalo that triggers a new row in MySQL, I have tried to create a filter after the trigger, but all these filters can only read record fields in Adalo, so I am unable to look for duplicate entries in MySQL,

Data isn't pulling from Google Spreadsheets correctly

Hi! I have a Zap that takes any new rows in Google Sheets and sends me a new notification to a Slack Channel. I’ve had it for over a year and it suddenly started giving me empty responses in the notification (the notification was still happening, but the info from the row was empty) After troubleshooting a bit, I found that the info pulled from Zapier isn’t complete, it shows empty cells even though they’re not empty in the spreadsheet. This is from the Trigger test, but it also shows on the Zap history. All of those columns are filled on the spreadsheet: I tried creating a new zap from scratch, using a different google account with access to the spreadsheet, using a zap with Google Forms instead of Google Sheets, using the Team Drive option and everything gave me the same error. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Post webhook to Google Cloud function via HTTP request

Hi all,I’m experimenting with zapier webhooks and wondering if anyone has successfully done a POST webhook to a google cloud function (http request). Use case is someone submitting a form along with a CSV file via airtable. When the new airtable record is created, zapier webook POST will send a json payload along with the CSV file to my google cloud function URL. The google cloud function has python code that will then manipulate the CSV file. When it is done, the updated CSV file and a confirmation will be sent back to airtable. Thanks. Matt

Saving a table from Nanonets to Google Sheets

I’m using Nanonets, which uses OCR to convert an image I feed to it into a table. In Zapier, I can access the table object itself from the Nanonets trigger, but I don’t know how to access the data inside from here. The table object should contain 23 rows, each row having 6 columns. I would like to output all 23 rows into my Google Sheets spreadsheet. How can I achieve this? I’ve been searching around for hours to no avail. Here’s what it looks like when trying to map a spreadsheet row with table data Here’s what my spreadsheet looks like when receiving the new rowAlso, I’m not sure if the Zap’s test actually only sends out 1 new row or if that’s what will happen when out of test, but I do want 23 rows at a time to be saved out.Thanks, everyone!

Zoom - webinar - new registrant personal link is incomplete

Hi,I have created a zap that receives data from Zoom, from a specific webinar.When in Zoom a new participant is registered to this webinar, my Zap receives the participant details from Zoom. (trigger: New Registrant in Zoom).I think there could be a bug in the “New Registrant in Zoom” code, because the personal link of the participant, the one to participate at the webinar, is truncated (both in the test trigger window and in the google spreadsheet where it’s passed to in the zap).For example, let’s say that the last part of the link isAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA&uuid=WN_bAeSHmnJTSGtb_yYNQqjGAthe received part is truncated right before the “&”so the last part of the link is now AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAand obviously the link is not valid anymore.How can it be fixed?Thank you

Cloudconvert error: "(Code: INVALID_DATA)"

Hi all, can use some guidance here. I have a zap that is acting up in a weird way. Always has, and I’ve always lived with it, but now I wonder if there is anything i can do to prevent it from misbehaving. The zap is triggered by a record appearing in a Airtable view, generates a document in either google docs or Google Slides - so far so good. This part of the zap works 100% of the time.The breakdown happens when the zap asks cloudconvert to convert from .docx or .odp, or whatever other format google outputs into a PDF. About 5-10% of the time, this step fails.Error messages range from: CloudConvert: The given data was invalid. tasks: Task zapier-import: Invalid filename. (Code: INVALID_DATA)When I retrigger the zap, 99/100 times it executes perfectlyI’ve added a 3 minute delay between doc generation and sending it to CloudConvert but the issue still happens, albeit less frequently. Thank you all for any suggestions you may have to cut back on the error rate.Best,David

Data security question with Google Sheet and Trello

Hi,I’ve created a zap to integrate Google Sheet and Trello and it works great.But before putting it in production, I’d like to get clarification on the Zapier security policy.Both integrations need a data access which seems to be too broad when we just need 2 items to work together.Which guarantee does Zapier provide that will make sure that no enterprise data will be accessed through these kinds of integrations?

Limit the amount of tasks in workaround of the "delay" limitations

HiThis is what I’m offering to my customers: they can buy an online course on my website and gets (on a start date he chooses) 21 motivational/supportive/informative text messages for the upcoming month.So, example:Buy the course on 23 januari.Start date of the text messages: 28 februari. (The start date so much ahead in the future makes sense in combination with other stuff that I sell)Thus:1) via zapier I subscribe the customer to the specific course in thinkific. (± 9 steps/tasks)2) via zapier I send the 21 messages, each day 1 message. (± 24 steps/tasks)What I encountered during development: https://zapier.com/help/create/customize/add-delays-to-zaps=> The most easy way would be to add a delay of 24hrs. But there’s a limitation to it. The delay cannot be > 31 days. (and there’s a maximum amount of stuff you can put into the delay).If found a workaround: => Quite a smart trick; just make a new calendar entry and then trigger it (with a different zap) when it starts.

Unable to get value when looking for a file in Google Docs

Hi,I’ve recently created a zap which allows me to create a google doc from a template. However, as I tried to convert the new document created to a pdf, I’m unable to “find” the document variable which the application suggested as File (Exists but not shown). I’ve tried to source for help when I came across this page on google drive differentiating between what is actually a file and what isn’t. https://zapier.com/help/doc/common-problems-with-google-drive#unable-to-get-a-value-when-looking-for-file-is-it-missingI believe I’ve created an “unreal” file.I’d like to check if there are any ways to remedy this. Thanks in advance!

I am trying to integrate with the QuickBooks Time API, specifically with time off requests. The API docs are found here: https://tsheetsteam.github.io/api_docs/?java#retrieve-time-off-requests Here is the code I have in Zapier. Note, I had to put a [] around the results to remove the “Results must be an array, got: object,” error.const options = { url: 'https://rest.tsheets.com/api/v1/time_off_requests', method: 'GET', headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${bundle.authData.access_token}` }, params: { }}return z.request(options) .then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const results = response.json; // You can do any parsing you need for results here before returning them return [results]; }); Here is a typical output according to the API docs. Note this is sample data:{ "results": { "time_off_requests": { "1546922": { "id": 1546922, "user_id": 423, "time_off_request_notes": [96024],

Google Sheets to Slack Zap - Spreadsheet rows with checkboxes not detected

I have a couple Google Sheets set up where they would send a Slack message with new or updated rows. I’ve recently added some checkboxes to the sheet - not as the trigger column - and I’ve found with both my zaps that adding the checkboxes to the sheets breaks the zap. The zaps either don’t send, or they send with missing column data (again, not columns with the checkboxes). When I back to the zap settings, during the test trigger phase it can no longer pull row information. If I delete the checkboxes from the sheet, the data is pulled again, no problem. Anyone else having this issue with checkboxes in Google Sheets breaking the zap?

Cheaper alternative to Pikaso for sending Twitter posts to Instagram?
