Send user message stored in Google Sheets via Slack DM

I am trying to build an automated workflow where:Data from an external report is manually updated in SHEETS (infrequently, 1-3x a day); (doesn’t need to be automated)1 column includes names that need to be changed to Slack Usernames (I have a column in 1 sheet with everyone’s names. and a column with their slack usernames next to it)Their Slack Usernames names need to be fixed to a Slack DM that goes to them, which is supposed to contain content from a cell that gets automatically concatenated from other fields on the sheet. I am not able to get Zapier to see the names in the columns which contain the names I need it to refer to, I may be putting the steps in the wrong order here.Also, can Zapier even do this? The sheet I am using currently has all the messages all lined up individually in each row, how can I get Zapier to go 1 by 1 down the list and DM the individuals listed the message meant for them on that sheet?

How do I get a PDF shipping label to attach to my Gmail?

Hi, I created a zap that automates the ordering process for some of my store’s dropshipping items.Here is the zap path:Shopify Paid Order - FInds Unique Order ID Zap Filter: Verifies Item Name and Quantity Prints Label according to Unique Order ID via Starshipit (Image 1) Sends Email to Warehouse with Label Attachement from Starshipit (Image 2)The problem is that starshipit’s label is in BASE64 and when you attach it as mentioned above it converts into text. I’ve tried using a converter between steps 3 and 4, but I cant get it to convert the BASE64 string to come out in pdf, png, or jpeg of the shipping label. (Image 3)I’m willing to send coffee money to anyone who helps me solve this. :)

How to implement a delay between loop iterations?

Hello, I am trying to build a zap where given a list of customers, the loop will send an email to all those customers, however not at the same time. Between every email there will be a delay of 40 minutes. This means the first customer in the list will get the email immediately, the second after 40, and the third after 80.Tried to do this by implementing a delay after the email is sent in the loop, however it does not work.

Duplicate links and blank emails being sent

ContextWe are running a query to identify appointments that are past 72 hrs and have not been closed/dispositioned For example, if I am sales agent that had an appointment scheduled with a prospect on October 1st, 2021 and the appointment status is "Open" this process should be kicking out an email to me (cc'ing my manager) and attaching the appropriate link or links (depending on how many appointments are outstanding) That query is being pulled daily at 7AM on a cumulative basis (i.e. duplicates will appears) via our 1st Zap from our Business Intelligence tool Periscope into a CSV format for Google Sheets to ingest Then a 2nd Zap is being used to curate the data in order to deliver an email (cc'ing the agent's manager) and notifying the agent of appointments that need to be dispositioned. After an agent dispositions their appointment, the next day they should no longer receive an email for that specific appointment  The query will no longer flag/capture this appointment once it's bee

Connect single Eventbrite Zap to multiple organisations?

Our marketing team decided to create separate Eventbrite organizations, all within one corporate account.  I set up a Zap to send an email for all new events.  When setting up a Zap, I have to choose one organization.  How do I get notifications for a new event in ANY of our organizations?  Right now, I have to create a separate Zap for each organization.  Also - the organization name cannot be inserted as a variable.  Only the organization ID is available in the Eventbrite field selector.

Remove blank comma/space from lists

My trigger action provides Zapier with a few simple lists of data, but sometimes entries in these lists are blank. I use a formatter step to combine a few of these lists into one string of text. When I use this string in later steps, I often end up with a few instances of “comma space” or “, “ repeating next to each other, from blank entries in the previous lists.Here’s an example of a string of text I will end up with after my Formatter step:“Customizations: , , , , , , , Screen printing, 289+ pieces, Full Front , Other Small little logo on bottom of left side”What’s the easiest way (read: fewest steps) to strip these useless blank “comma space” repeaters from this string? I know I can do Find>Replace as a Formatter step, but I’ll have to do one step for find “, , “ replace with “ “, then another step for find “, , , “ replace with “ “, etc. I tried using a Lookup Table to offer multiple strings to replaced in one step, but couldn’t get that to work properly.Any suggestions are app

Setting up SMS with Twilio

I need step by step instructions to set up sending and receiving sms texts with a  Twilio phone number. Texts should come to an email address and replying to the email should reply to the text. I tried using Zapier quick setup. I got as far as choosing the Twilio number and then it tests the trigger and fails saying “We couldn't find an item. Create an item in your Twilio account and test your trigger again”. Instructions there seem limited.Thanks!

How do I connect webform to CRM

Hi all, Hope you don’t mind asking for support here. But i’m new to Zapier and totally lost how / where to start. I currently have a form on my website that is used to let visitors subscribe to our newsletter, via Mailchimp. But our CRM application doesn’t allow that because it overwrites Mailchimp.So, i need to connect the web form to our CRM app. How to do this? Is there a blog that specifically addresses how to set up newsletter subscribers? I read a lot of full contact forms, and google forms usage etc but what i’m after is just name + lastname + email and “send”.Hope anyone can provide some guidance here how to make this work on my Wordpress website. KR, Dennis

Is there a zap action to monitor incoming triggers?

Hey guys,we’re having problems with an external vendor whose service randomly breaks down. Usually that service will trigger a Zap, but when it breaks down it takes us manual checks to find out when it happens. Therefore, I was thinking to build some sort of monitoring flow that notifies me, when a zap hasn’t triggered for X amount of time. Is there a way to achieve this? BestJohannes
