How to keep checking for new leads

Hello, I am trying to create a zap that connects Nutshell and Proposify. What I hope to accomplish is: A new lead is created, the Sales Lead can check the details of the lead, and if it passes certain parameters, move the lead into the qualified stage, then a proposal is generated to a specific proposal template from the qualified leads. I am able to create the filter that only qualified leads go to Proposify. But I want a “new" lead to stay new even when time has passed.Something like: PATH A: If there is a qualified new lead created, create a proposal. PATH B: If there is a new lead that’s not qualified, check again (the lead maybe qualified now), and then if so create the proposal.When the zap checks for new leads, does it only look for new leads since the last check? Or is there a way to determine how far back it checks.

need to pull Chatbot survey data to Google Sheets tally

Hello! I’m super new with creating Zaps. I stumbled upon using a Zap to help me accomplish pulling my survey data from Chatbot into a Google Sheet.My survey is working but I don’t know if I have the Zap set up correctly. My trigger is New message in Chatbot. Action is Create spreadsheet Row in Google Sheets. I’ve used the attributes in Chatbot to match up with my column headers in my Worksheet. When I run a test and fill out the survey, the Google sheet doesn’t contain survey data. I can run a Zap test and the Worksheet puts my field attributes in the cells, it appears my Zap is set up correctly. Do I have the wrong Trigger or Action set? What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Salesforce to Monday - Unidirectional Field Sync - Not Triggering

I have a customer list in SFDC (Account object) and an effectively mirrored customer list/board in Monday (a subset of accounts). I’m trying to create a directional sync such that when a specific field on any SFDC Account is updated, the corresponding field is updated for that customer record in MondayRight now I have:1) Trigger: SF Updated Field on Record 2) Action: Find record in SF (I didn’t have this one at first but it seems necessary to retrieve the new value for the field I want to sync) 3) Action: Get item by column value in MDC 4) Action: Change multiple column values in MDCTesting each Action step in sequence produces the result I’m looking for: It pulls the field value from SF (2) and updates the corresponding MDC item (3) with that field value from SF (4). Great.However, I’ve published this zap and it won’t ever seem to trigger. I’ve tried it with the trigger setting Field Updated Timestamp blank and set to Last Modified Date. No luck.. Any thoughts?

prompt OpenAI from new record in an Airtable column

Hello. I have an airtable table set up and I would like to trigger an openAI prompt/completion when a new record is added to a column titled "Job Description". I have linked the correct base and table. But in the prompt input for openAI I don't get the option for the column in the drop down. I tried linking it by using {{'Job Description'}} but it shows a little !Job Description badge and when run pulls in no data . However if i select a populated cell the prompt triggers and returns data as expected? Any help would be awesome.🙌

Any way to make GCal Start Time Pretty and End Time Pretty... prettier?

GCal ‘Start Time Pretty’ and ‘End Time Pretty’ send somewhat ugly, redundant time formats, especially when used together. They put a 0 on the front-end of single digit hours EVEN though they also put PM or AM on the backend (i.e. it’s not military time). Fwiw would also be nice to be able to make PM and AM lowercase so the times stand out more. See screenshot.I didn’t see in the Zap’s settings or Zapier’s settings. Is there any way to do this?I’m using Zapier to sync GCal with Todoist. Yes, I know there’s a native integration but putting meeting times in the title of a to-do instead of a Due time allows me to reorder them in my Today view. Might seem small, but we’re talking about multiple meetings showing up in my Today view every day. Any help is appreciated.

How to map Chatra custom fields data?

Anybody familiar with Chatra integration? So when I pull in sample data to map fields, it’s not pulling in anything live. It literally uses sample data that Chatra comes with (literally Jane Doe info as opposed to real people who have chatted with us).I have a custom pre-chat form with a few fields like first name, email, etc. Basic stuff. However, I can’t find these fields in the default options. So how do I get them to map correctly? I’m pulling my hair out trying to get it to work. It can’t be this difficult.

How do I add a person to a specific group in MailerLite when an event is booked in Calendly?

I am trying to set up a zap between calendly and mailerlite where when the person books the event and answers a question, it sends the to a specific mailerlite group. However, After getting through the initial calendly “test” with a test person, I go to filter and When I put in “EventType Name” the name of an event already populates and it’s not the right one and I cannot select another one. In other words, it “populates” the actual name of the event apparently. Then I select “contains” and when I try to put in the data - again, only the ones from this test person come up and when I type in the right thing, I get an error that the EventType Name doesn’t match. I’ve been at this for 2 days and I just realized this has been an issue over a year and I didnt’ realize I was missing this capture! Please help.

How do i send an email in Gmail when a label is added to an email in Gmail?

This post has been edited by a moderator to remove personal information. Please remember that this is a public forum and to remove any sensitive information prior to posting.How do I properly format Gmails TO Names and TO Emails? I have a simple zap. In Gmail when a label is applied to an an email, an email is sent to another address. I couldn’t see a Forward action so this seems like the best approach. Looking at the available options in gmail I have TO Names and TO Emails. (same for CC) but these are just strings. I would like to parse these strings so that they output looks like thisTO Name 1 <TO Email 1>, TO Name 2 <TO Email 2>eg. Gav <xxxxxx>, Sid <xxxxxxxxx>Just so that it looks correct when the email is sent on to the end user.It looks like I should use the formatter but I can’t figure out how i loop through the names and emails arrays and join them back together how I want.Anyone?

Help creating a Zap to update a monday.com board when an record in Salesforce is updated

Hello,  I’m trying to create a zap that will dynamically update items in a Monday.com board if a record in Salesforce (Opportunity Stage) is updated. So far I think I’m on the right track with the following: Trigger - updated record in SalesforceAction - find a record in SalesforceAction - get column values in Monday.com I keep getting stuck in the Monday.com action since a required field is Item ID, where I’d have to select a specific item to update rather than allowing it to search for an updated opportunity stage in salesforce for all items listed in the board.  Any help figuring out how to do this is much appreciated!

How do I add an extra field in Mailerlite

I’m tranferring from Converkit zo mailerlite and am now updating all my zaps. But it seems I can’t add the first name to my zap action in Zapier (add subscriber to group) I only can add a value in the email field. Someone who knows what i’m missing here? In convertkit this was never a problem.  Converkit MailerliteRefreshing fields doesn’t make a difference and the fields (and more) are already created in mailerlite.
