Updating Record in Salesforce with webhook trigger - is Find Record first required?

I’m really having trouble setting up webhooks with zapier, with salesforce. My question is, do I need to ‘update record’ or do I need to ‘fin record’ then ‘update record’. Hope someone can help.  Many thanks.

Google Drive Public Folder

I’m trying to create a Zap that triggers on a new file in my Google Drive Public Folder.  The test step seems to work during the create phase but nothing I seem to do will actually trigger the Zap after it’s turned on (ie: running  the Zap manually after new files are uploaded to the folder).The same Zap using Dropbox works as expected.Any ideas? Thanks!

Shopify Zoho Books Indian Sales Invoice

Does anyone use Zapier to create a sales invoice compliant with Indian GST in zoho books for shopify orders? I encounter the following issue during creation. During ZAP creation, zapier does not have any field mapping that allows zaps to mark whether the invoices are CGST/SGST or IGST and so on. All the invoices blindly get prepared as Intrastate GST invoices (CGST SGST). Even if a customer is from other states where IGST needs to be used, zapier does not have a way to mark that this order should be invoices with IGST. Has anyone done this? Any suggestions. Thanks,Aravind.

How to keep formulas from being erased in my Google Sheet in cells where no new data is being added?

Hi,My zap transfers new data from my Wix site to a Google Sheets spreadsheet where a new row is created with data in columns, for example, A:D. So the zap triggers and A2:D2 now have new information.I entered some formulas in my spreadsheet in columns, for example, E:F that depend on the data from A:D. So if a zap triggered and A2:D2 had new information, then the formulas in E2:F2 should change according to the new information. But my formulas in columns E:F are erased. The zap then triggers for A3:D3 and E3:F3 should reflect the new information but they’re also erased and this happens successively for each row.I know that I can fix this my manually entering my formulas in my zaps but it will take a LONG TIME to complete this. Is there a shortcut towards achieving this?

Upload Video to YouTube with Webhooks - size limit

I’m looking to create an automation to make a YouTube post given a description and a video file. When I tried using webhooks, I was getting an error, as my video was larger than 10MB, so the request was being rejected.  Then, I thought I would use S3 instead as the trigger. But the problem I ran into there is that the trigger can only get one of the files at a time, not both the description and the video file.  Does anyone have any ideas on how I might use Zapier to automate this? It seems that webhooks won’t do because the video file is too large, but I can’t think of another way to send both a text description and a video file for the YouTube Action part of the Zap. Let me know, thank you.

Zoho CRM duplicate entries for same update and prevent the zap from running twice

I have a zap that based on a Zoho CRM lead update with a filter that a specific field needs to have a certain value to send out a text message.  However, I am always getting 2 records into Zapier and then of course it sends out to text message. My flowTrigger: Update Module Entry for LeadsFilter Field SMA Day 0 15 min = 15 minsSend SMS It appears that zoho sends 2 records for the SMA Day 0 15 mins being updated and for the last activity filed being updated as they are sent at the exact some time.  Is there a way to tell zapier to only send one of the records through the process?

Splitting orders and line items from Shopify to another shopify store

Hello,I have a dropshipping store that uses two suppliers to fulfill orders.I have an issue when a customer places an order with product from both suppliers in it. Customer purchases Product A and Product BSupplier A fulfills Product A and Supplier B Fulfills product B.I have a conditional formate set up so that based on which supplier the product belongs to , the order will continue down path A or B.Here is the problem. The conditional formatting picks up both suppliers, but  sends the entire order (Product A and Product B) to each supplier. I only need product A to go to supplier A and Product B to go to supplier B. Is there a way to do this?I have access to my suppliers shopify and I am webhooking in the orders from my store into their store. So here is where all of the line items from the entire order show up and cause me issues.  Thanks

How to set up custom Vimeo webhooks?

Hi! We are looking to create a zap where: once someone unsubscribes/pauses their subscription on our vimeo platform, they are automatically added to an unsubscribed email list on Flodesk. The web hook topics we need to trigger this are:For paused–– customer.product.paused customer.product.resumedFor cancelled–– customer.product.cancelled customer.product.expired I have created these in Postman because Zapier X Vimeo doesn’t send through those lines of code (photos below), but am unsure the step needed to then connect this Postman data to our Vimeo interface so the integration can run.   For reference this is what we are trying to achieve:1– The customer.product.paused / customer.product.resumed / customer.product.cancelled / OR customer.product.expired webhook needs to be triggered in VIMEO2– When one of those lines have been triggered in VIMEO, we will need Zapier to add the customer to an unsubscribed email list in FloDesk What steps are needed next?  Thanks so much!Shelby

Dynamic dropdown trigger with parameter

I have created a dynamic dropdown input field in my resource which runs a trigger. This trigger makes a request to my api and returns the data as fields only if they’re of the kind ‘post_type’. This works fine but in the future I want to use this input field for multiple zaps, so the following if-statement has to be replaced:if(content_type_kind == 'post_type')with something like:if(content_type_kind == type)where ‘type’ is a variable which is different for each resource with this input field.How can I send this variable from my resources to this trigger?

Using Google Sheets to perform calculations on contact details in HubSpot and update contacts with new data - lagging

I am currently creating a Zap in which when a contact is updated or changed in HubSpot, the contact is imported into an a Google sheets and certain statistics are calculated based on the imported data. Once the statistics are calculated, the contact details in HubSpot are updated with the new statistics. The final step in the zap is to delete all the imported dataI’ve managed to get this to work when small numbers of contacts are changed. However, I encounter a number of issues when larger numbers of contacts are changed. (I’ve tested by changing 100+ contacts in one trigger):The zap itself becomes laggy when it is triggered. I imagine this is because the zap is importing details, exporting calculations and then deleting the row for each contact. The lag results in some rows not being deleted. The number of tasks used is extremely high since the zap has 5 tasks and the zap technically runs for each updated contact. If the zap runs 100s of times a day, its likely that the monthly task l
