How do I add users to Google Contacts group/label after form submission in Zapier?

I am creating a Zap for when a form post is done, to add that user to a group/label in google contacts. People say there should be a selection in Zapier to do this, however I can’t seem to find any place for this.

How to extract specific data from an email and Zap just the vendor, name, and email to a spreadsheet?

Hi,I’m getting more and more familiar with Zapier but I have tried building this particular Zap and I’m just not sure it’s possible. I have an incoming email as my trigger - I only need the vendor, name, and emails zapped to a spreadsheet.Example of email:Your email was sent to:Vendor: Name: EmailVendor: Name: EmailVendor: Name: Emailblah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I can’t figure out how to ONLY zap the information after ‘Your email was sent to:’ and ignore everything after the last email address. Anyone have any idea how I can format this?

HTTP status code 401

I’m trying to use a webhook to pull new invoices sent from Payday so I can add the info to my Airtable. This is my first time trying to use webhooks, so I’m 100% certain my questions are at least a little silly. Thanks in advance!The Payday API documentation specifies that their bearer token is valid for only 24 hours. Every call must have a bearer token in a header. They have a POST call to make a bearer token, requiring clientId and clientSecret. I’m assuming you have to start every automation sequence with that POST, get a token, and then use that token to authenticate in the following steps.My webhook is already failing at that bearer POST step. Awkward.I get 401 error, saying to make sure I have a valid ClientID and ClientSecret. I’ve triple checked both.Here are screenshots of my set up.----

How do I delete all records in a Zapier Table?

Is it possible delete all records in a Zapier Table using just one step in a zap?If not, does anyone know a workaround? I am using the table just as a auxiliar table and I´d like to delete all rows to confirm this table will be empty for the next turn (the next time the zap will be trigged).

Hi I'm working on using customer data to auto generate a customized video. This will then be sent out in a marketing email. I have made the connection between Zapier and Tauvs and can automated the video generation process.

'New Review in Google My Business' No Longer Works

I can’t be the only one noticing that reviews for Google Business Profile (they changed the name from Google My Business back in November of 2021, so it’s time to catch-up, Zapier) are no longer working. I’ve tested on over 10 of my GBP accounts (some with connects, some that are brand new, some established) and all of them fail to turn on the Zap getting the emailed error:-Step 1 - New Review in Google My BusinessRefusing to override account notification settings: Already configured for GCP topic projects/highlevel-backend/topics/gmb-update-v2-I’ve tested this for complex Zapier automations and I’ve tested this for simple ‘Get a Review and Email Me’ automations and nothing will allow this Zap to turn on (all tests work).Support has been confused by GBP asking me “Do you have an account and subscription with Google My Business?” so that hasn’t been of any help, and even after creating a ticket it’s been a week with no reply.---Anyone else running into this error and have a remedy or so

web scraping action timed out

Hi. I have a Firecrawl scraping action as above. It scrapes articles. An article might be short or long, but they both work when I scrape them in the Firecrawl playground on the Firecrawl website.But for longer articles, when scraping in Zapier, the action times out and the zap hits an error. For live zaps, is there a timeout for actions like this? Or is there a timeout settingin the Firecrawl action block that needs to be set? I couldn’t see an option to adjust the timeout duration in the action itself.

Success on Failure in Search Step - Zoho Sheets

I have a zap which parses information from invoices and processes them into Xero. I have introduced a step to ensure we are not processing duplicate invoices, therefore the step is a Zoho Sheets step. I have a record of all invoices processed and this step should look up the reference in the correct column and if nothing is found, then the invoice is not a duplicate. If it is found then obviously it’s already been processed in the past. Immediately following the search step is a paths step, where one relies on the search being false (not a duplicate) and the other being true (duplicate). It is therefore important that the search step moves on regardless of the outcome. I set the option “Should this step be considered a success if nothing is found?” to true, therefore I expected the step to continue. This does not appear to be the case and with several tests, the Zap halts on the search step saying nothing was found. Is this a glitch or am I missing something here?

Creating variable-length loops and extracting data

Zapier Chatbot can't find information in Tables

Hi,I've created a chatbot with two knowledge sources: a document with general information and a table with FAQ. When I ask a question covered in the FAQ, the chatbot fails to find the answer. However, if I explicitly mention in my query to check the FAQ, it then retrieves the answer.I tried configuring the chatbot to always check the FAQ in the directive, but it didn't solve the problem. It seems the only effective method is to specifically instruct the chatbot to search the FAQ in each prompt.Why does specifying the knowledge source help the chatbot find the answer? Ideally, it should be able to retrieve the information without needing such directions.

Content Automation: Need help

Hi everyone,I’m working on a consumer portal in the German media market and looking to automate the production of news content as much as possible. I need help setting up an automated workflow in Zapier. Here’s what I’m aiming to achieve: Time-based Trigger: The workflow should run daily at 9 AM, 1 PM, and 5 PM. Content Source: Relevant content should be collected either through an RSS feed or, alternatively, via scraping. Content Selection: The collected text should be filtered based on specific keywords (e.g., "supermarket," "recall," "Aldi," "Lidl"). The content should focus on topics with high traffic potential on Google (e.g., Google Discover) and social media. It should cover trending and relevant news topics that are often searched for by consumers. ChatGPT: The text should be sent to ChatGPT, where it will be processed using a prompt (including generating an article image). WordPress: The processed text should be saved as a draft post in WordPress. Telegram Notificati
