How to blank data in a single Google Sheets cell using "Update Spreadsheet Row" action.

On more than one occasion, I needed to delete the data in a single Google Sheet cell. But as noted Common Problems with Sheets article, this is not possible. The only option is to enter some sort of visible character or delete the entire row.However, I found a simple solution. Just go to emptycharacter.com and click on the Copy To Clipboard in Method 1 and then paste the invisible character into the column of Update Spreadsheet Row action for the cell that you want to blank out. A small red dot should appear, indicating that there is a character there. (The dot may not always appear, but there is a character there.)Run the zap, and the cell should be empty.

RSS to linked - Thumbnail or Post's image not showing Solution

Hello guys, I saw a post that talks about the same issue that I had, so I tested many stuff to make it work. The issue is that the RSS feed blog post’s image or thumbnail not showing on linked in on the Private profile, the company page it has already an option to show image so we are talking about the private profile here. The steps are: Create your 1st zap’s trigger like this: Trigger RSS > Select your social media > Action > Twitter (its working on twitter without any issue, thumbnails appears) Create a 2nd zap’s trigger: Trigger twitter > action > linked in > set up action: select Entities urls expanded url Basically you are telling zapier to share your blog post on twitter then to take post from twitter and share it to linkedin.

Using loops to update Salesforce records

Looping by Zapier rocks -- what did I do before I discovered Looping by Zapier?I typically would create an Airtable base with a field called ‘Loop Status’. I’d then build a Zap workflow which started with a hook and ended with a hook that pointed back to the first hook. Then I’d trigger the loop via a call from Postman.Convoluted.Now, I build Zaps using Looping by Zapier and smile.

What to do if a ZAP APP doesn't have the TRIGGER or ACTION you are seeking?

What to do if a Zap app doesn't have the trigger or action you are seeking? Zapier ExpertsOften apps only expose their most popular/useful API endpoints (triggers/actions) and webhook events (triggers) via their Zap app integrations.However, the app trigger or action you are seeking may still be possible to configure by using an app’s API or webhooks.Integrating and automation with app APIs and webhooks is an advanced approach that involves technical concepts.For help configuring, consider contacting a Zapier Expert: https://zapier.com/experts Zapier SupportYou can submit a ticket via Zapier Support for the requested trigger/action to be logged in hopes that it will be included and made available in a future version of the app’s Zap integration.FYI: Most apps on Zapier are built and maintained by the app developers themselves, but Zapier keeps an internal list of app requests.

Using the "Deactivate Stripe payment link" action for Stripe Beta

If you run out of inventory for a product, you might want to deactivate any Stripe payment links for that product until you replenish your stock. You can do that automatically by using the Stripe (Beta) app on Zapier. The workflow idea below suggests using a spreadsheet as the starting point. I’d use it to track the inventory automatically for each new order, so that I can know if it reaches zero. Zap 1Set up a Zap to trigger on new payment links on Stripe. Send them to a spreadsheet, alongside product details (so you can search for them later). Zap 2Set up a Zap that triggers on another spreadsheet where you keep track of inventory (or another app that can track inventory, like Shopify). Make sure to have details that can be matched to the spreadsheet on Zap 1! Add a Filter step to check if the inventory has reached 0. The next step will search for the product in the spreadsheet attached to Zap 1 and return a payment link related to it. You can then use the “Deactivate a payment li

Create customized, signed PDFs with Zapier Formatter

I’d never used the Zapier Formatter and just figured out how powerful it is! I used it to take a record from Airtable to fill in personalized details on a certificate, request a signature, and send the signed certificate to the recipient. Here is how I did it in case you’d like to do the same! The key is using the Zapier Formatter to format a JSON payload (with data from an Airtable record) into a URL string. The url string can then be used to create a unique Form UI URL for an Anvil Workflow, which will complete the PDFs and request signatures. Pretty straight forward, but it did require two Zaps. Zap 1: Pre-fill the Anvil Workflow with Airtable data and send to SignerTrigger = New Record in Airtable [Optional] Action = Find record in Airtable (this is to look up an email from related record) Action = Formatter / Text / URL Encode. This is the “tricky” part (although I’m clearly not an engineer and figured it out!). I grabbed the sample JSON payload from my Anvil Workflow (which
