How to create a Zapier Action that retrieves latest API data without search fields?

Hi there,

I want to implement an Action (not a Trigger) which makes a call to our API.

Why an Action instead of a Trigger you might ask?

Because a Trigger doesn't work with the "Schedule by Zapier" module.

 

It should retrieve "the latest changes", without any search parameters. But while promoting the new version, I get an Error "Requires at Least One Search Field".

What can I do to create an action which just retrieves data and can be used with the mentioned scheduler?

Kind regards

I am sorry but your answer wasn’t very helpful.

What you basically just did was say “Hi” and then link to an post of yours which in turn is a collection of links (ever tried to get something useful out of microsoftanswers?).

 

Would you be so kind and point out what I’m getting wrong in this scenario?

 

What I interpret out of your linked post is that I should use an action in conjunction with the code editor. I am doing this already.

But my main roadblock in the configuration workflow is an validation error in the release process.

 

Kind regards
