Welcome to “How Do I…” in the Zapier Community 👋. Since you’re here, we want to provide some clarification to the intent of this part of our Community. (For those who have been here a while, this used to be our “General Questions” forum!). What fits in How Do I..: Anything and everything Zapier Basics All of the app(s) questions you may have Confirming if Zapier can do what you’re looking for Looking for help with building a Zap that you don’t know how to put into words. We like those ones especially. Some stuff that is better suited elsewhere: Troubleshooting is a great place if you are looking to get insight on an error message you are seeing or to explore if a workaround exists.

If you’re asking a question in this category, it should be about the Code by Zapier app and/or the Webhooks by Zapier app. If you’re not sure whether you can/should use one of those apps, it’s OK to ask that here. Chances are great that whoever responds will be able to properly advise you.FAQsI have a question about developing an app on the Zapier platform...can I ask about that here?For questions like that, please ask in the Developer Discussion forum. And to be clear, we’re talking about the Developer Platform, where you can build your own integration.Do you consider RegEx to be code? It’s pretty complex!Possibly in the future, but for right now this is solely for questions related to Code by Zapier and/or Webhooks by Zapier.What about Storage by Zapier? That feels sort of Code-y to me.See the response above. Maybe at some point we’ll expand, but for now it’s limited to the 2 apps mentioned.If I’m not sure if I need Code or Webhooks and ask in General Questions, what will happen?If
Hello,We are sending facebook leads to email via our zap.however we sometimes create new lead forms that have the same prefix of XXX.Can I configure the form selection to contain XXX instead of selecting the actual form.If so, will it also know to fetch from new form that were created after the zap was published.
This question isn’t necessarily Zapier related, but there were so many sharp minds in the “Suddenly Remote” webinar a few weeks ago that I thought this might be a good community to ask. Has anyone found an efficient way to copy + paste a small snippet/array/set of cells from a spreadsheet into Slack? The only way I can figure out that doesn’t mess up the formatting is by posting as a screenshot, which obviously renders the data unusable by the folks I’m communicating with over Slack. Anyone have any good workarounds as I feel like I run into this a few times a week. Thanks! Andy
I’m trying to create a Zap that takes a Gravity Form (in this case a wholesale order form), and looks on Xero (my accounting software) for that contact. If it finds the contact it needs to create an invoice for the contact; if it doesn’t find the contact then it needs to create the contact and then create an invoice.But I’m getting stuck on the Find or Create contact stage. When I test it, it says ‘No property or field 'xxxx' exists in type 'Contact' (where xxxx is the name of the contact). But I can’t work out what to do to solve this…Can anyone help?
I have two Zaps that have the same trigger to start but then after another test do two different functions. How do I create an IF then Else fucntion so I could include both possible operations in one Zap?
Hi,is there a way to post a Teams message as html format?Currently it’s as text only and so e.g. URL links aren’t clickable atm when sending an automatic message to someone.Maybe a switch which sets the content-type of the message to html or test if preffered would be very handy :)Have a nice sunday!
I am using the code {{zap_meta_human_now}} to timestamp when a zap runs-- I got the code from posts around 2018 for the same purpose. I am hoping to use the timestamp to update the ‘last contacted’ date for my contacts and deals. The code is not returning data, has the code to timestamp changed?
I know there is {{zap_meta_human_now}} for adding the date and time the zap runs. But I am looking for something like “Get Today’s Date” at the beginning of a new Zap to compare this date with a recently added date with {{zap_meta_human_now}} in a certain field. Is this possible with a Javascript or Python script (get current date)?Thanks for help.
How would I call a custom REST service as an action in a Zap?I want to be able to send information from the previous action to my service and return some data to be used in the next action step.Thanks,
I’ve seen a number of people on Upwork are Zapier Certified. Where is more info on that or a sign-up page? Thanks.
I have duplicated a Google sheets sheet (Sheet A) to another Google sheets sheet (Sheet B). I am trying to duplicate any changes in Sheet A to Sheet B. This seems like it would be super easy but I am running into issues. I am able to update a single row or copy a new sheet upon changes but I just want to simply Mirror Sheet A to Sheet B. Will someone provide a link or a provide a guide?Thank you.
Alert from Gmail in some emails sent through ZapWe have several Zaps set up to send reminder emails to our clients about their upcoming events. These have all been working well since March and just this week 2 of the emails included an alert from Gmail “This message seems dangerous”. I marked “Looks safe” on the 1st alert I got on Monday and then I got a 2nd one today. The emails are sent from my coworker’s work Gmail address and include 1-4 clients + bcc to me. Hoping for help on how we can prevent this alert on future emails. Thank you!

Hi all --I have a Zap that gets triggered when a new video appears in a playlist. Over the past 10 days I’ve received a couple of failure notification emails from Zapier that indicateError Message: YouTube: Trigger partner failure: The app returned "The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your <a href="/youtube/v3/getting-started#quota">quota</a>.". Any suggestions on how to stop this from happening?FWIW, the only other post on this that I’ve found is this one:which refers you to a Google API docs, and through them, to the Google API console, which doesn’t actually show who and how quota units are being used up. Is there a way to find out how many quota units are being use by a Zap, or if not, influence the triggering somehow? My Zap only needs to run once a day, but right now the only relevant YouTube trigger options seem to be to select “When a video shows up in a playlist”.Any suggestions would be appreciated -- thanks in advance!
Hi, I want to set up my first AI zap with OpenAI’s API, but keep on running into the same error: This is despite that I have a paid OpenAI account. On the website, it says I have a bunch of usage left, so I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I’ve also tried to generate a new API key already & re-sync the account with Zapier.Appreciate your help!
Discord has a relative time/date formatting feature using unix timestamps, formatted like <t:1701710520> here’s a website that helps generate a few examples: https://discordtimestamp.com/It’s super useful for our remote team, as anything using it shows in the recipient’s timezone. Is there any way to format time from a different node in zapier using this?
