Dynamic Google Sheets Formulas

Figured this workaround out today but have been trying to figure this out for a bit so I thought I would share in case anyone else needed it! This is to create dynamic formulas that will calculate data as rows come in to google sheets. First use the create row step to create the row without the formula fields or with formula fields that are not dynamic. Immediately after this step, add another step to Update a Row. Use the custom tab to insert the row that was created in the previous step for the row to be updated then when you type in your formulas you can insert that same row Id where you would usually reference it in your formula. Voila! I hope that helps!

Pdffiller

I want to know how you can see what you are completing in pdf filler. When I do the set up it only gives me discriptions such as Box 1278 and text field 2033. I need to match the excel sheet (name, surname, ID etc) with the relevant section in the form.

Trigger a Zap and play a custom sound (browser & mobile app)

Hey everyone!I wanted to share a quick tip about an app that I just discovered. I received a notification for this Reddit post in the Zapier subreddit. Vybit enables you to find a sound that will be played in your web browser and/or their mobile app when your Zap is triggered.You can check out the integration here: https://zapier.com/apps/vybit-notifications/integrationsWays I can think of that you could use this:have a specific sound when you receive an email from someone you deem important hear something like a cash register (or an airhorn) when your online store makes a sale trigger a Zap using Shortcuts in iOS to play a sound on demand (on someone else’s device, for example) play a siren sound 5 minutes before meetings, to make absolutely sure you don’t show up lateI’m sure there are countless other ways you could make use of this :)EDIT: I see that the Vybit team added their own post in the Zapier Community as well...probably should have checked for that first, haha.

Introducing a new app on Zapier, Vybit: the information is in the sound!

Hi All,I recently launched a new integration app on Zapier. Vybit sends distinct, custom sound notifications that you create by choosing from thousands of possible sounds (from freesound.org). The idea is that the specific notification sound itself tells you exactly what Zap trigger fired (and if making the effort to grab and look at your device for the notification details is warranted). Vybit is free and it also works with anything that has outbound webhooks. Please check it out including the Zap Templates, I think you will find it super useful! Questions and feedback are very welcome! Thanks, BradyVybit on Zapier

Zapier alternative for Coda Upsert

What is Upsert?UpSert is a Coda.io function that permits to OR create a new row OR to update a row if there is a match. I had a working solution for a while based on a Coda Row ID. The logic was like this:A form of Paperform was filled out and via Zapier the data was injected into a Coda table. When the subcriber wanted to update the info (via a link in an email sent via Zapier - > MailJet ) an Upsert took place based on a hidden field in Paperform that I had injected with a Coda Row ID. The creation of the Row ID and how to prefill the Paperform is not the issue here, I guess the reader knows how set this up.Coda and the RowIDWhen a form with a Row ID came back, the uspert took place. The handy thing was that inside Coda we had an automation running that created a duplicate of the RowID column. Due to this automation it was not a formula driven column so we could used it to set up a Match in Zapier. However after a while this solution did not work anymore. I created two solutions

Looking to get website screenshots or generate images from templates? Check out these apps!

This week’s Workflow Wednesday article is going to be a little different. Rather than dive into a particular workflow I’m going to highlight some interesting apps I found in our directory.

Copy Zoom Recording to Vimeo

I have been trying to figure out how to copy my Zoom recordings to Vimeo and although there were several topics on it, they made it more complicated than it needed to be, and didn’t give you the ability to easily name your Vimeo video something from Zoom. You can do it in 1 Zap. Zap Steps For Google Sheets I created 2 columns, one form the Video DL URL, the other for the Topic from Zoom (which I am actually getting from another Zap with YouCanBook.me and Zoom. Google SheetsI put a delay in just to make sure it is written to Google Sheets before trying to copy it to Vimeo. The last step was to then upload it to Vimeo. I used the Video URL from the above step from Google Sheets, and the Topic I grabbed from Zoom.

Delaying a Zap for a year

Hi Zapier Community,As stated in the title, I’m looking to get an action to trigger after a year. To be accurate, I set up a learning quiz using LearnDash and I’m looking for a way to send an email a year after it gets successfully completed. Because LearnDash works well with Zapier, it would be convenient to find a way to solve my problem using it.Upon reading the documentation from this article, I understand that a delay can only be scheduled for up to a month in Zapier and I should look for another way to do what I want.However, if someone has an idea on how to bypass this or can recommend an alternative solution I would be grateful to hear it.

[Integration Update] "Advanced Utilities" will allow you to find all matches for a RegEx

In this post, I’m happy to announce some updates to my Advanced Utilities integration. If you haven’t read my previous post where I introduced this integration, feel free to check it out here.The new update introduces a new action called Extract Pattern (RegEx) which as the name states, allows you to find matches for a regular expression in an input text.Unlike the built-in Formatter → Extract Pattern which will only return the first match, this action will find and return all matches. I noticed this feature was requested by many users so I thought it would be nice to add it to this integration.Extract Pattern setup allows you to toggle RegEx flags as wellExtract Pattern action returns all matches for the given regexMatch information as can be seen on Regex101 website for the same regexAlso, this update includes some improvements to the Run JavaScript Code action. In my previous post, I mentioned that there was an issue with code highlighting, this issue has been fixed with this update

[New Integration] Advanced Utilities

Hey everyone, I would like to share a custom Zapier integration I built to solve a few problems. The integration provides the following action steps. I hope you find it helpful. :) --- Run JavaScript Code: This is kind of a clone of the regular Code Step. Nothing fancy, it just comes with some useful tools available in the global scope. It also supports modern JavaScript async/await. The global scope includes the following utilities: moment: The well-known moment.js library that helps when dealing with date/time. _: Lodash library that makes it easier to work with objects and arrays. JSON: this replaces the built-in JSON.parse function with the more advanced JSON5 library. toCSV: A function that converts an object to CSV. --- Export to CSV: This action makes it easy to convert JSON data or line items to a CSV string or file. --- If you’re interested in trying it, here’s the invite link: https://zapier.com/developer/public-invite/112461/039174f595539444ce5c14e114c1dc1e/

Zap setup JSON export mapping

I discovered a new feature today (to me anyway) - the ability to export a json file of your zap set-up. To get there click on new info button next to zap title: This will take you to the following page: I remember there was a way to export this json previously but it was not so front-and-center. Now that more people will likely be exporting this file can anybody provide a mapping of the json elements with which apps are used etc? (at the moment the json is all very cryptic). If so, it may be possible to do build a zap feeding this data into a diagramming app like Lucid Charts with a pre-built template and have a cool visual flow diagram of every zap - something I’ve been longing for for ages!

Error Handling For A Specific Step (aka Automatically Repeat A Step If It Fails)

I’ve run into this often and have a decent work around so by posting it here hopefully this can help others. The issue: Zapier steps that “depend” on the output from a previous step will fail if the previous step fails or has an issue. This can happen for a number of reasons, like the webhook step had an error, or (and this has been happening A LOT lately) an app like Google Sheets responds with an error like 500 “Server Error time out”. Or a search step fails and you don’t want to create a record Or the application doesn’t give you that option. I want to make my zaps smarter and to work around these issues. As you’ll see below It takes a number of extra steps and paths to do this, so I only do it on critical zap steps or where failures are common. For example if I try to post to a Google Spreadsheet and I get a time out error I want the zap to take a delay and then make another attempt. Or if there was a failure in finding a row or a contact or whatever the search was I want the zap t

COVID-19 screening forms for a bulk list of employees

So, the need that we heard about was for Covid 19 screening forms for employees and visitors to US places of business. Every morning at 6 am the plan was to send out the forms to all employees who were on the list. They had to complete the form and if they were high risk based on answers then HR is notified. If they are low risk, they got a pass to show up. Solution: Zapier’s new schedule function as a Zap runs each morning at 6am. This Zap begins a workflow for the HR person to update the spreadsheet and click to run a google script! The google script pulled names and emails from the google sheet and sent over to OnTask. OnTask sent out the forms to all that were on the list to fill out and sign. Conditional routing in OnTask sent them to HR or gave them the all clear and reported this all back to HR. As U.S. businesses reopen, what are you all doing around Covid-19 contact tracing, screening, et cetera? Using Zapier for anything related to your plan?

How to auto generate presentations in a few minutes

Hi there, I used to spend a lot of time working on monthly reports for the sales department, I know how painful and time-consuming it could be to create presentations from scratch. That's why I'd like to share one zap idea that will help you to automatically create PowerPoint presentations with charts and diagrams in just a few minutes. In Zapier it's possible to pass data, say, from web forms to the process which will populate a pre-made PowerPoint template with form entry data. For that, I use Plumsail Documents integration. It supports PPTX templates and it works like a charm. I just submit some data and get a ready presentation with visualization of this data. I used it in conjunction with Typeform. The same approach could be applied to generate presentations from CRM systems.

Automatically Change the Due Date of a Trello Card, Every Month

The Challenge "I want zap that will make a Trello card change date monthly when I have done a task. Like a calendar reminder in emails that comes up every month on the same day every month" What this user wanted was to use Trello like a monthly reminder, without having to keep changing due dates. So the reminder on the 26th of the month would let her know it was due, then be changed automatically to the 26th of next month. She didn't even want the Trigger to be marking that card as complete. Just change it to the subsequent month, recurring. The Solution Trello has a Trigger called New Notification. When you are assigned a card or are subscribed to it, Trello gives you a notification 24 hours before that card is due. So if something is due on August 26th, Trello will tell you on August 25th. That triggers the Zap. We also want to add a filter to make sure the notification is one telling you a card is due soon. We could add a filter for the board or list if we needed to. We t
