Mailchimp image not showing up on LinkedIN

I’m using the Zap to post my email onto LinkedIN after I send a campaign. The challenge is the image from the email is NOT showing up. All I get is a text post and it looks BORING.   Thank you for any help!

Instant Zap (Google Calendar to Airtable) Not Instant

Hi everyone. OK, on my list of zaps it says that it is instant. And for a while it amazingly was, but now there is about a 5-7 minute delay. Is there a reason a zap would be labeled instant but that actually not be a part of my Zapier plan?

Google Tasks to Trello

when I make a zap to integrate google tasks in Trello, I have an error with the date due to have reminders in trello. The zap does not add me the time of the due date (ex: April 21 10:30 am) I have the impression that the problem comes from the data sent by Google tasks. Do you have the same problem with Google tasks?

Find a specific Google Calendar Event when another specific event is deleted

Is there a way I can delete an event on Google Calendar, when another specific one is deleted?  What I´m doing is, when someone book a class with us in Google Calendar, I create a Detailed event on the same date, with Zoom link and attendees  and other stuff.  But, whenever they CANCEL their class, I need  to erase the event that I created next to it.  How could I do that? I keep try to use the FIND action, to find the event and then delete it, but I haven´t been able to push through,  HELP!

Managing Zaps in Wordpress

Hello, We currently have many zaps associated with different product purchases (using WooCommerce). The problem we have is that each one of the zaps is triggered for every new order so in the order details you see a huge list of zaps in the history. What is the best strategy for having the zaps only trigger and show up in the history if it is related for the specific product(s) in the order?

Updates between two Pipedrive accounts

Hello,  I am writing to you after doing many unsuccessful tests. We, as the A company, use Pipedrive and we need to send (on the basis of a Pipedrive filter) some of our contacts, organizations and deals to a B company which also uses Pipedrive, I managed to create the workflow with Zapier between the two companies creating the items I want in the B company. To avoid creating a duplicate if the organizations are not named the same way, I created a custom field on each side and I make a check on this criterion before creating the elements. My big problem for a few days is that I can't find the right workflow to update these elements. Do you know how I can do that? It would be very precious to me! Thanks a lot! Deborah

How to auto post from Gmail to Facebook Groups? (with formatted text)

Hey guys! So I am wanting to post new Thinkific reviews sent to me on Gmail onto our FB group.  HTML stripped, and some text reformatted or removed.  I’ve done it successfully using a 9 step zap, but feel it’s too clunky and wondering if there is a better way? Here’s the review example:       I then used a series of “Replace” text actions, and removed a bunch of text and made a few edits.  The post then appears on FB like this:       So that’s all good and well - but it’s very specific to this particular Thinkific course, and I’d like to have this zap manage reviews that come in generically for our other courses.   Any advice?   With thanks!

Error Msg: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

Hi I am creating a Zap that will take data from a newly created row in Google Sheets and send it to Quickbooks Online as a Time Activity. The data is visible and being pulled correctly from Google Sheets. It’s properly assigned to the QBO fields. But when I test the QB step, I get this error:       not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1) Below is a screenshot of the data being passed to QBO. If anyone has any suggestions as the root cause of the error, I’d appreciate hearing it. Thank you. Andrea

Infinite loop with Gmail + Discord webhook

I have a zap set up to send a message to a Discord channel with the contents of an email whenever an email with the keyword “classroom” is received, so my class can receive updates from Google Classroom on Discord. Today, it just so happened that one such email was above 2000 characters, and Zapier was unable to send it due to Discord’s character limitations. Thus, an email was sent to warn me about this problem; however, this email also contained the “classroom” keyword, and also happened to be over 2000 characters, so another warning email was sent. This process repeated itself until I woke up with 94 emails in my inbox and changed the keyword.    While this may be a problem that is easily fixable by the zap owner by modifying the keyword a bit, I believe there should be some sort of system in place to prevent this type of thing from happening. Three solutions I could think of off the top of my head would be:  Ignore emails from Zapier - however, some people may need these emails for

Sending bulk emails from Google Sheet

Hi Liz, I have the same question - I created a scheduler zap to send bulk emails from a google sheet. The issue is that the returned rows (for example 3 rows with first name column values Joe, Tina, Max) will show up as a combined variable in my email. As a result my email greeting gets sent out 3 times repeating: “Hello Joe, Tina, Max”    I want to send 3 separate emails as follows: “Hello Joe” “Hello Tina” “Hello Max” How would we do this?

Updating Existing AirTable Record with Stripe Data (Search Formula?)

I have one Zap that creates an AirTable record whenever a customer makes an Acuity reservation.  A second Zap monitors Stripe for the credit card transaction, subtracts the Stripe Transaction Fee off of the Stripe Amount, and I want it to search for and update the relevant AirTable record, but I can’t get that step to work.   The Stripe->AirTable Zap in question starts with Stripe, builds in a delay to ensure Acuity/Zapier/AirTable have time to create the AirTable record, then Formatter subtracts the Stripe Transaction Fee off of the Stripe Amount, and Formatter changes Stripe’s date-time format into what AirTable stores from Acuity.  At this point, I want Zapier to search AirTable for whatever record has *BOTH* the client’s name (from Stripe) *AND* the formatted time of when the booking was made, then update that record with the formatted income amount. I think my Search Formula in the AirTable search step is breaking, but I don’t know why.  It is as follows:   {Client Name}= "<

Knowing who made changes in a Google Sheet

Hello everyone,   I'm a new user of Zap, which seems to be a very powerful tool, but I'm having a little trouble getting the result I want.   I work with a team and we all share the same Google Sheet, I would like to be informed on Slack each time someone makes a change (especially each time someone modifies a box).   I managed to get a direct message when someone makes a change, I get the row number on that message, but I can't figure out how to add who did it and what the change was.   How can I customize the message to get all these informations ?   Thank you,   Boris

Change status from False to True

Hi there,   I’m currently on a company plan but posting from my personal account which also has a similar Zap in place.    The purpose of my zap is to detect when someone replies back to me from LinkedIn and I’d want to see the status in my Google Spreadsheet be switched from FALSE to TRUE. However, I don’t see an option to change it from FALSE to TRUE or does it automatically switch.    In the screenshots below, “choose action event” is set to “lookup spreadsheet row” and shows an option of bottom up value. However, under my company account  the “choose action event” is create spreadsheet row and I no longer see an option to select true or False.    Please help. Happy to do a video on this too   I’ve included some screenshots detailing this.

Integrating Xero and Infusionsoft for Invoicing

I am working through the zap when we create a new quote and invoice in infusionsoft and the person pays it will zap it to xero by creating an invoice and marking it as paid.   We use item codes in Xero and I am trying to figure out how to make it zap with the different one each time. My thought process is that when I setup the product in infusionsoft there is something I should be adding to trigger it for the item code.   Also we charge the merchant fee back to the customer, so I am thinking I should add that in the tax field.   Thanks in advance for your help.
