Will It Zap? ChatGPT Edition...Round 2Tutorial

This article is for you if:You are interested in using AI  Want to learn more about how you can use AI  Enjoy trying new things to create cool Zaps  Looking to avoid trial and error runs with ZapsWhere We Left OffLast week, we gave ChatGPT a little challenge to help us set up a Zap for a small business owner. Here's the scoop: The owner wanted to streamline the process of collecting customer feedback by automatically saving survey responses to a spreadsheet. And, at the end of the quarter, they planned to send a thank-you email with a special discount code to their loyal customers. However, they were too busy to manually manage this process and needed some help setting up a Zap to automate the task.So, we put ChatGPT to the test, and it worked! While there were a few hiccups along the way, we were pretty satisfied with the results. But, there was still some work left to be done. We only tackled the first part of the Zap, and now it's time to finish the job.If you're a small business ow

How to determine if NOW is within Business Days and Hours

Hey everyone! Been a while since I posted I know 😆 I have seen many questions on the community asking how to use Paths by Zapier to have 2 different outcomes based on the time (NOW()) (or a timestamp coming from the trigger) and determining whether it is within business hours or outside of business hours. the script below does that and it bases it on the timezone of your choosing !  let dateToCheck = new Date().toLocaleString("en-US", {timeZone: "America/Los_Angeles"}); // This sets the code to PST timezone. You can change the timezone as needed// In case you want to use a timestamp from the Trigger / Previous steps, check the screenshot at the end of the code on how to map it, and replace the first line with "let dateToCheck = inputData.date;" . Keep in mind that this time is PROBABLY in UTC.let dateUnformatted = new Date(dateToCheck);let dayDateFormatted = dateUnformatted.getDay();var hours = dateUnformatted.getHours();var minutes = dateUnformatted.getMinutes();function formatTime(d

If your initial feelings were doomsday-ish, I’m right there with you. The unknown can be intimidating, scary even. But what if you were able to use AI to make your life easier? You’re already on the way to becoming an automation rockstar, might as well let AI do some of the hard work for you. ChatGPT has now entered the chatOkay, so you’re almost on board, but now you want to know what is ChatGPT? No worries, I’ve got you. It's an awesome chatbot developed by OpenAI that can talk to you like a human would! I’m going to get technical here for a second, it's based on GPT-3.5 technology, which is super impressive (according to the tech people).

PROOF: Delay For Less than 1 Minute with the Delay For Action Step

PROOF that it is indeed possible to delay a Zap for less than 1 minute using the Delay For action step! CreditsTroy Tessalone is a Certified Zapier Expert at Automation Ace. Don’t believe everything you read, and when in doubt, test it out! Screenshot below shows the Zap Run history with a timestamp created before and after 30 second delay.(Note: The time difference between the 2 timestamps shown is a bit longer than 30 seconds because of the time it takes to process the other Zap steps.) Notice below the field Time Delayed For (value) it states:Use a number (decimals are accepted). Note: minimum delay is one minute. How the Zap with a delay for less than 1 minute was tested…Created a Zap with these 5 steps.Step 1 triggers the Zap from a webhook.Step 2 creates a timestamp before the delay.Step 3 does a delay for .5 minutes (aka 30 seconds).Step 4 creates a timestamp after the delay.Step 5 posts a webhook with the timestamps before and after the delay. Cheat Sheet.083 = ~5 seconds.166 =

Trigger your Zaps from Pipedrive with a button click

Hi All,All of you who work with Pipedrive are probably familiar with some difficulties and limitations on how you can trigger your Zaps from you deal, organization or person. As we know currently the options are either through webhooks, filters etc. which is often inefficient or you may receive multiple hooks for the same event.At the same time it may be very confusing for a user to understand if a Zap did / should have triggered, as they have no visibility on the rules you have set up.For this reason we have developed a free Pipedrive add-on which allows you to create custom buttons on any Pipedrive deal, person or organization. You can then listen on the button clicks in your Zap though a webhook. The add-on can be found in the Pipedrive marketplace: Pipedrive Marketplace - Third Party Apps & Integrations 1There’s also an example in our help documents how to set things up: https://help.zimple.io/books/zimple-oneclick-en/page/oneclick-zapierHope you enjoy it as much as we do!Vellu

Airtable vs. Google Sheets - How To Determine Which Is Best For Your Use CaseF.A.Q.

This article is for you if: You're just starting out with Zapier and are looking to learn the fundamentals Determining which platform is best to host your data and set up your Zap  Working with large amounts of data & collaborating with others TL;DR: Google Sheets and Airtable are cloud-based no-code tools great for working with remote teams. Both update in real-time and offer integration options. The key differences between the two are: field types, versatility, cost, and customizability. Airtable offers more options for data types and is a better pick for complex projects, while Google Sheets is free and easier to use. Google Sheets is great for limited data storage, while Airtable is better for big data and organizing information. The two platforms have limitations in customizing data presentation and setting granular permissions, but can be addressed through support. Ultimately, the best platform for you depends on your specific data needs.Hey there! 👋 Have you heard about Go
