Workaround to Retrieve Trello Cards by ID Using the Update Card action

Hi everyone,We have an application that stores Trello card IDs in Airtable and I was having a hard time creating an automation in Zapier because there's no native way of getting the card by its ID (only to search by card name, which is not useful in our particular case as card names might change).Since I couldn't find a solution in other posts, I decided to share how we did it.You can get a card by its ID using an “Update Card” action (instead of “Find Card”). On the Card field pass the ID and leave all the other fields blank (so no fields are actually “updated”). This allows you to use the card from this step in further steps of the Zap.Hope it helps.

Split Text into Chunks for AI Prompt (beta) Formatter transform released

Hey All.A problem that many have been running into as AI becomes part of more workflows is the token limits of the different LLM models. To help work around this, we’ve released a new beta Text transform for Formatter - Split Text into Chunks for AI Prompt (beta). Chunks being the AI parlance for a segment of text that fits under your LLM model’s token limits.We have some initial help for this here, and have included a Zap Template that can help get you started. It’s a rather complex workflow that we’d like to make simpler over time.If you build out a Zap using this transform, we’d love feedback on how it goes.Kirk

Zapier integration with Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

Sunset date for Universal Analytics is quickly approaching and I don’t see a native integration in GA4 as yet. Supposedly, it’s still work in progress, but this isn’t leaving much time to get things reconfigured.I created a workaround using a “Custom Request” webhook if anyone is interested. Tested and works perfectly: Method: PostURL: https://www.google-analytics.com/mp/collect?api_secret=[API-SECRET-GOES-HERE]&measurement_id=[STREAM-ID-GOES-HERE]Data:{ "client_id": "SOURCE-DATA-GOES-HERE","user_id": "SOURCE-DATA-GOES-HERE","non_personalized_ads": false,"events": [ { "name": "EVENT-NAME", "params":{ "EVENT-PARAM-1": "SOURCE-DATA-VARIABLE-GOES-HERE","EVENT-PARAM-2": "SOURCE-DATA-VARIABLE-GOES-HERE","EVENT-PARAM-3": "SOURCE-DATA-VARIABLE-GOES-HERE","EVENT-PARAM-4": "SOURCE-DATA-VARIABLE-GOES-HERE" } } ] }Unflatten: Yes Pass as many variables as you wish.

A core value of Zapier is ‘Build the Robot’. No matter your role, you’ll find yourself doing repetitive work. Zapier is all about finding ways to work better—whether through automation, simplification, or prioritization—so that we can spend more time doing what humans do best. With the new developments in AI, especially AI models like ChatGPT, there’s even more ways to automate and simplify tasks. This article focuses on simple use cases that individuals at Zapier use to reduce day-to-day admin and keep their days running smoothly. You’ll find links to the Zaps that we talk about so you can try them for yourself! Aubry Stewart - Sr Technical Support Specialist at Zapier I've been using a Zap that creates an item in Todoist whenever I save a message in Slack. The problem was, the titles for the items weren’t great, there’s no subject/title field in a Slack message, so I just used the author. That was pretty messy and not ideal.

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

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
