Question

How can I include a field from one trigger in another trigger's action?

Hello everyone, I have what is hopefully a simple question to solve. Thanks for any help.

I am using Zapier with Squadcast, with limited success -- 

One issue, aside from it not working at all, is that the triggers from Squadcast don’t all have the same amount of descriptive information in them.

 

The Squadcast trigger [New Audio Recording Available] has the fields (example values):

 

File Name user_1_03-22-2024_150936

Mp3 File URL https://storage.googleapis.com/squadcast-7fa10.appspot.com/….user_1_03-22-2024_150936.mp3

Event Name audio.rendered

Wav File URL https://storage.googleapis.com/squadcast-7fa10.appspot.com/….user_1_03-22-2024_150936.wav

ID audio_rendered

Org ID ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP

 

The Squadcast trigger [Recording Session Ended] has the fields:

 

Name recording_session.ended

Webhook ID recording_session_ended

Org ID ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP

Description a session has ended and been destroyed

Show ID QRSTUVWXYZ

Show Name Test Show

Session Title Test Session

Session ID 12345678

 

What I would like to be able to do is use the [New Audio Recording Available] trigger to upload the Mp3 File URL to cloud storage into a newly created folder named …/[Show Name]/[Session Title]/.

 

How can I pass these Show Name and Session Title fields from the [Recording Session Ended] trigger to the upload action triggered by [New Recording Available]?

 

I’ve tried this flow also:

[Recording Session Ended] → [Find All Recordings in a Session in Squadcast]

But it returns “No data available” when tested.

Hi @ConfoundedSquadcaster 

You may have to try reaching out to SquadCast Support for help with their Zap app integration.

To see if those desired data points are available, you may have to explore using the SquadCast API: https://developers.squadcast.fm/reference/get_v2-organizations

 

Hi @Troy Tessalone. Thank you very much for the response. I have contacted Squadcast but I worry that their Zapier integration is not actively maintained so I am not hopeful for a response. Are there any other approaches I can take for fusing these triggers as information sources?
