How to update a record in Smartsuite with a Dropbox folder link after creating it

Here’s what I have so far:Step 1: zap is triggered when a new order is submitted on my website order form.Step 2+3: date reformatted, then new dropbox folder is created, which is named using the reformatted date.Step 4: new record is created in my project management software (smartsuite).The problem:It looks like I should be able to add the link for that drobpox folder from the earlier step but I can’t get it to work. both steps work independently, the new record is created in smartsuite and the new dropbox folder is also created.Now I just want to make sure that record gets updated with the dropbox link. I tried a workaround using “Update Record”, but it only gives me the option to select existing records in my project management board. I don’t have the option to select the record created in the earlier step. Thank you in advance!

Hey, I noticed zapier recently added a trigger in QBO that tracks when an estimate is updated and lets you perform action afterwards. I am trying to use that trigger to update my CRM when an estimate is updated, I have tried this manually by testing records and it works but when I activated my zap and updated my estimate nothing happens. The zap doesnt show up in my zap historyAny help would be gladly appreciated

Zapier Chatbot looping issue in Slack

I am trying to connect a Zapier Chat bot to a slack channel. I have the input set as a new chat into the channel, and the output set to what was recommended (see below). The challenge is that the chatbot itself is wired to request some basic information if a prompt doesn’t provide it, and when ever I put in a new prompt, it seems to get stuck in a loop where it posts the same chatbot generated auto-prompt, like its not recognizing that my answer to the first prompt isn’t a new prompt, any thoughts/experiences here?

Recommendations: Airtable -> any platform -> Instagram to post Carousels?

Hello, I am gently going mad.I have an array of images in Airtable. I can use Zapier to post the first of the array of images to Instagram without problem. I want, however, to post them as a carousel (several images in one post) on Instagram.I see that the Instagram Business integration does not support this.It appears adding multiple images from Airtable →  Buffer or Hootsuite does not work either. Does anyone know how to?Does anyone know a social media planner that supports this?Otherwise, could someone point me in the direction of how I can code something myself to post several photos to IG. It requires a POST for each image, and then a POST that creates a Carousel container with those images in it and publishes it. Is there a way to use Airtable and Zapier to do that sort of thing?https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/guides/content-publishing#carousel-posts

Unable to send Lead Quality score from Typeform to Facebook via Zapier

I have set up a Zap to send lead information from Typeform to Facebook Conversions to optimise Meta Ads campaigns. That has worked well so far with optimising the campaigns for number of results. However, lead quality is all over the place, so I want to test optimising for conversion value instead. My Typeform calculates a lead quality score that I would like pass to Facebook as part of the payload.  I have used the Additional Data field in the Zap to include the lead quality score from Typeform (a value between 1 and 10) as a parameter:Looking at the output, I can see it is being sent to Facebook, but it is either not being received, or not recognised:Am I doing something wrong? Do have have to make changes on the Facebook side?

How to create a simple queue for Zapier triggers

Hello Zapier community!I’m working on a Zap that can get triggered within seconds of each other frequently due to the use of a webhook trigger. To avoid race conditions within my Zap, I’ve implemented a “Delay after queue” with sufficient time to give the Zap enough time to finish before the next one starts.However, I feel this is a complex solution for an easy issue. Is there any third party application/zappier tool that acts as a simple queue?Example of the simple queue I’m looking for: If a zap is triggered one after the other within a small timeframe, one goes through and the other one waits until the first one has ended before continuing the flow.Thanks in advance!

How to trigger a Zap when an invoice is sent from QuickBooks to OpenPhone

Hey everyone,I’m hoping to have some clarification on a Zap I have been working on and hope someone can help. I currently have a Zap created between QuickBooks and OpenPhone. It is set to trigger when a New Invoice is created in QB. I added a delay of 15 minutes between when the invoice was created and the action. The action sends an automated text message with the invoice link to customers. Here is the issue I am facing:  The text message is sent when the invoice is created. I would like the zap to action when the invoice is sent to the customer through QB. How to I work around this? I’m aware there isn’t a trigger for “Invoice Sent” Invoices are created for certain customers at the beginning of the month and not sent til the end of the month. I want to avoid the Zap to action till I decide to sent it out. Also some clients have cards on file and don’t need the invoice link. How can I exclude these specific people. Hope this is clear enough. I have posted screenshot for better underst

Posting on Mighty Networks from Slack user's name

We are aiming to have a community which uses Slack for chat and Mighty Networks (which is already set up) for the repository of the content. This allows us to stay on the free version of Slack. By using Zapier, we are able to pretty much replicate all posts which are added to MN spaces and repost them in Slack from the same user (allbeit not linked). But we’re having difficulties the other way. Any ideas? In summary:We have already connected our Slack and Mighty Networks We have already configured a Zapier so that when someone sends a message to a MN space, it automatically posts the message on the related Slack channel and comes from the user as they appear in MN. When we configure it so the messages do the same going the other way, ie if I post on a Slack channel I want the message to then be posted on the relevant MN space and the message to be posted by the person who posted it (pulling in their details from Slack, which happens the other way), not the admin or whoever’s MN account

Hello, Like the title says: "Teamleader Focus - Link contact to company" does not work. My Zap contains the following steps:Wpforms New forms entryTeamleader Focus Create contactTeamleader Focus Create companyTeamleader Focus Link contact to companyAll steps are working, except the last one “Link contact to company”. I do get an error saying:“ The error you're encountering indicates that the contact ID 40a7bc09-44ce-0d9a-9c72-77b394509e78 does not exist in Teamleader's system, which is why the "link_contact_to_company" action failed. This could happen if the contact was not created successfully in a previous step or if the ID was incorrectly passed to this step. To resolve this, first verify that the contact was indeed created in a prior step and that the correct contact ID is being used. You can do this by checking the output data of the step where the contact was supposed to be created. If the contact creation step is missing or failed, ensure that it is correctly set up and that the
