How to describe object fields in a CLI request for entity creation

I have this format for a request to create an entity { authorId: 3, entityType: 'comment', entityId: 711, message: 'Test comment message', date: 1734076669, mentioned: { users: [1, 3], groups: [4, 1, 2], departments: [] }, parent: { id: 711, entityType: 'task', entityId: 1070, authorId: 3, message: 'Parent message', date: 1734076669, pinned: null, notify: null, mentioned: null }}How do I describe the parent and mentioned fields that are objects? Of course, I can describe it like this, but I'll get an array of objects back, which is not correct. You can also see that I added a prefix, because if I have another field with the same name, the fields will not render correctly, even if these fields are described at different levels.{ key: 'mentioned', label: 'Mentioned', children: [ { key: 'mentioned:users', label: 'Mentioned: Users', type: 'integer', list: true }, { key: 'mentioned:groups', label: 'Mentioned: Groups', type: 'integer', list: true

Zapier Tables Optional Field Attribute

I have just started working with Zapier Tables. I am pulling input data from a dynamic Wufoo form. Is there a way to change the Field attribute from ‘Required’ to ‘Optional’. I will be using a standard form to populate the Zapier Table, but not all of the fields that I need will be provided by each person. For example, the form might be used by a Homeowner or a Tenant. So, the ‘Type’ of applicant field will need to be a ‘Required’ field, but the Landlord Name field should be an ‘Optional’ field because it won’t always have data in that field.I hope that makes sense!

Feature Request: Formatted Input Fields in Google Chrome Extension

I’ve been using the Zapier Chrome Extension for a variety of different Zaps over the past few years. I would love it if the input fields were formatted in the same way that fields in Interfaces and Tables are, i.e. “Short Text”, “Long Text”, “Email”, “True/False”, “Dropdown” etc. Right now the input fields are all just text.Would anyone else use this feature?

Dynamic output fields aren't evaluated

Hi there!There's no category for Output Fields, so I'm posting it here. I’m pretty sure I've run into some bugs w.r.t. dynamic output fields.It seems like dynamic output fields are only evaluated either:Once the workflow action is fully configured and a “Test node” action is performed, or If the dynamic field generation callback is the only outputField in the outputFields listThe docs say that dynamic fields are automatically evaluated and merged with the static output fields. This hasn't been my experience. Something seems to be bugged there.Also, it seems that the interactions with altersDynamicFields don't work at all for dynamic outputFields. I would expect that if I mark an inputField as altersDynamicFields, then a change in the inputField value would also trigger a re-evaluation of all dynamic outputFields (after all, if even the configuration of the node is dependent on this value, how can you expect dynamic outputFields to stay static?). This also doesn't seem to work, though I

Dynamic Input Filed shows value when viewing Zap in display mode

I have an action that pull a list of items to select in a dropdown. The items have a human readable label and a UUID value. When I’m editing the Zap I can see the selected value label as expectedHowever after I’ve configured my Zap and view it in display mode the field only shows the value (not the label)How can I get the display mode of the action to show the label as well? The end user will have no idea what that UUID is and this may confuse them.

I am trying to create a zap that would automatically send emails to our accounting platform whenever a new attachment (receipt/invoice) is added.

Configuring Dynamic Fields in authentication input fields

Suppose, I want to take a the following values as input from user while authenticating a connection: Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4The field1 has a drop-down from which a user has to select. Based on the drop-down value selected by the user, I want the following actions to take place: Showing up of field2 Populating default value of field3 Showing up of field4 based on the value supplied on field3 I haven’t found an example source code for dynamic fields addition and hence I’d be thankful if anybody could let me know if this is possible in zapier and how can this be achieved in a CLI app (would be really glad if there’s a working example on addition of dynamic fields in zapier CLI app). The zapier-platform-core version being used is 12.1.0.

Hi, I am developing a zapier trigger. I have a text input called “order form id” in the input field. Depends on the input, the perform list should retrieve different key value pairs.

Accessing the key or label of the input field that called the trigger

I have a dynamic field on my input screen and I would like to be able to reference the key or label of the input field from the bundle so I can use that to determine what field to look up in my trigger.For example if the user clicks on a dynamic field that looks up lead sources, it fires my dynamic field trigger, and in my trigger I would like to reference the name of the field (not the value) that called the trigger so I can pass that as a query parameter to the trigger API call.This way I could prevent having to create a unique trigger for every single dynamic field that I want to look up.

Can I have a "Select All" option in my input dropdown?

Currently in my Zapier App, users are allowed to select multiple options for one of my input fields. This list of options can be large for some users and other users would like the ease of use to just click a button to select all options. Is that something we can support in the Input Designer for a dynamic dropdown somehow? I didn’t find anything like that in the documentation or the Input Designer

Looking for a way to set dictionary keys from API query

I see that using a `dict: true` input field allows me to set have the value of each dictionary item set based on dynamic data from a previous trigger. What I’d like to do is have the dictionary key field populate from the results of an API call to my database. In my database I can define the custom attributes field types. I’d like to be able to click into the key field and choose from a dynamic dropdown of API results (if any are retrieved) rather than having to type in the value. Is there a way to have the “key” field populate from a trigger or search step? I’ve seen similar questions asked about this and some of the answers suggested using a dynamic inputField instead. Would that allow me to provide a list of Form Field names for the key AND dynamic contact data for the value?Also I can’t add predefined keys as we don’t know what the custom attribute will be or how many there will be.Dictionary input field with value data dynamically supplied from trigger

Dict keys as dropdown choices?

I am trying to develop an app using the Zapier CLI.I have two input fields:One is a key-value dictionary where the customer types the “name” of the attribute as key, and its value in the value field. The next input field is a multi-select dropdown where we want the customers to select all the fields that are “object” attributes, so we can parse them and make an API call as an object attribute instead of the default behaviour which is to convert, for example, the above JSON, into string.Here is the code that I am using:// ...if ( bundle.inputData.other_attributes != null && Object.keys(bundle.inputData.other_attributes).length ) { for (const [key, value] of Object.entries( bundle.inputData.other_attributes )) { newBody['attributes'][key] = value; } // loop through values of object_attributes and match keys if (bundle.inputData.object_attributes != null && bundle.inputData.object_attributes.length) { for (i in bun

Allowing for Creation of Multiple Children on Action

Hey all, I’m an engineer that just joined the team at beehiiv, the email newsletter platform. I’ve taken over development for our Zapier app and am working to make some major updates to it in the coming weeks. I’m new to Zapier development, but not new to Javascript in general. I’m struggling to find a format that allows for the intended use of how a user would input custom fields. We allow for multiple custom fields to be passed on create subscriber and update subscriber requests in our API and they need both the id and the value. To simplify the user experience, I made a Zapier trigger that will fetch the custom fields on a user’s account dynamically and allow them to select by name, rather than needing to know the custom field ID. This works as intended. Here’s how I’ve done that in code. This is the input field: { key: "custom_fields", children: [ { key: "field_name", label:

Brevo Custom Action challenge - Create a new campaign

Hi Zapier Community,I hope you're all doing well. I'm reaching out here because I'm facing a bit of a roadblock while trying to create a Custom Action for Brevo. My goal is to set up an automation that allows me to create a new campaign through Brevo's API https://developers.brevo.com/reference/createemailcampaign-1.I've followed the instructions provided and used the Zapier custom action assistant, but I seem to be encountering an issue. When I create the Input Fields, I can only see one field called "campaignDetails." However, according to Brevo's API documentation, there should be more fields available for input.I'm not very technical, so I apologize if this seems like a basic question. Essentially, what I'm trying to achieve is to have the ability to control all the fields as per Brevo's API documentation directly from Zapier.Could someone kindly guide me through the process or point me in the right direction? Any assistance or insights would be greatly appreciated.Thank you so muc

optional fields that, if present, have required children

hi all,Is there a way to have required children if and only if the parent has been set or to make items required as a group? We’re trying to do something like the following, where (in this example) supplying pets is optional but if someone supplies part of a pet’s information they have to supply all of it.// Doesn't work, ends up effectively making all pets required...inputFields: [ { key: "first_pet", required: false, children: [ { key: "first_pet_name", required: true, type: 'string' }, { key: "first_pet_species", required: true, type: 'string' }, ... ] }, { key: "second_pet", required: false, children: [ { key: "second_pet_name", required: true, type: 'string' }, { key: "second_pet_species", required: true, type: 'string' }, ... ] },...]We can do this with a bunch of custom validation in perform but wondering if there’s a way to do so within the schema.
