Slack 'New Reaction Added' Trigger Stopped Working for Public Channels After May 7

My Zap using the Slack “New Reaction Added” trigger was working fine before May 7, but it suddenly stopped triggering after that. No changes were made. Can you check what went wrong? There were no changes made to our Slack workspace or account settings during that time. The Zap is still active, and the Slack connection is showing as properly connected in Zapier.Everything was working as expected before May 7, and then it just stopped triggering without any updates or modifications on our side.Could you please check from your end if there were any updates or issues affecting this trigger?

Twitch Stream Trigger Doesn't Display All Games

Hey all,I’m trying to setup a trigger from Twitch to post a message whenever a certain game is streamed. The game does have a category / page on twitch, and has been streamed many times over the last few years. However, when I search for it in the Configure part of the trigger, I do get a list that dynamically updates as I type, but the game I’m looking for is not found.Is there a reason for this, or a solution I can take?I’ve tried adding the game’s name as a “Custom Value” instead of “Static”, but it doesn’t seem to work.

Handling dynamic outputFields in performList and perform methods

Is there a way to handle outputFields dynamically? I tried to do it this way, but it didn't work: const outputFields = [];const perform = (z, bundle) => { return [bundle.cleanedRequest];};const performList = (z, bundle) => { const options = { url: 'https://webhook_url', method: 'post', hook_id: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + bundle.authData.access_token, }, body: {}, };  // This part will be generated through a mapping in JSON outputFields.push({ key: 'form', label: 'Form', type: 'string', }) return z.request(options).then((response) => { return response.data });};

Creating custom labels from API returns with key-value mapping

I'm trying to create a custom label from an API return. This return contains a key, the value I'd like as the custom label, and the value I'd like to display. I wanted to map it so that the key would be replaced by the value I would like from the label and also allow repetition of these labels.In this example I do the raw_answers mapping to passing the question id and the answer value. However, in the view I want to display the question and the answer, and the question can have the same label with different ids.

Accessing message content in Rocket.Chat triggers

I am trying to pull message content from channels/direct messages/discussions from within RocketChat. I am trying to take specific messages from the Chats and to then insert it elsewhere (airtable for example)I have made sure I am connected with correct permissions. But I have run into the following odd issues:When trying to catch starred messages - Zapier is not finding any (but i know there are). I have tried testing with starring private messages, team messages, channel messages etc. but Zapier will not find them even though the trigger is called “starred message anywhere”   When trying to catch pinned messages - the trigger works, but there is no where i can see to catch the actual message content - but rather only message related meta, eg: Room ID, username, date etc. Also, When trying to catch any message with a specific word included (using a filter) - here too, there is no way to access the actual message content.In the RocketChat API, i see there is a key called ‘msg’ which co

However, when I try to turn on my Zap, it fails to activate.Additionally, I currently have a free plan in my Zapier account.

Wrong results while executing JQL query against Jira Server

Hello.I have a zap which triggers the following JQL query:`project = PROJECT AND status = “In Progress” AND issuetype in standardIssueTypes() AND (component = "First component" AND component = "Second component") AND status changed before -7d AND NOT status changed after -7d`It pulls all issues which are in “In Progress” status for more than 7 days.The problem: when some issue was in another status for more than 7 days, and was just transitioned to “In Progress”, zap catches this issue and sends a notification. But obviously it shouldn’t. Everything works fine when I run the query manually in Jira, I don’t see such issues.Any ideas what could be the reason of such behaviour? I was thinking about time zone differences, something like that, but I’m not sure. Thanks in advance.

Maximum 50 rows with PostgreSQL?

Hi,we want to use Zapier to automate a few tasks, based on the “New Row” or “New or Updated Row” PostgreSQL triggers. We’ve now read that these triggers will only return 50 rows with each poll – is that true? That would make it quite useless for us. Any tipps?Here’s the article we’ve found: https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496037193997-Common-Problems-with-PostgreSQL#existing-columns-causing-an-error-when-using-custom-query-0-0Thanks!Stefan

How do I change Gmail address in Google-Zapier integration without disrupting Meta-Zapier-Agile CRM connection?

This post has been edited by a moderator to remove personal information. Please remember that this is a public forum and to remove any sensitive information prior to posting.Hello,I have a technical question for you. We are currently collecting data from both Google and Meta platforms. Initially, I set up a Meta-Zapier-Agile CRM integration using the email xxxxxxx@gmail.com. Now, I am planning to set up a Google Ads-Zapier-Agile CRM connection. However, this time, the emails coming from the site are associated with a different Gmail address. When I open the Google-Zapier connection, it shows the xxxxxxx@gmail.com email address.If I reconnect the Google-Zapier integration to a different Gmail address, will this action disrupt the existing Meta-Zapier-Agile CRM integration?Thank you in advance!

Zapier integration on Any column value changed in Monday

I am looking to get details of any changes made to items on a board in Monday.com in a table with itemId,  column title, previous value, new value, and modifiedTimestamp. There is a trigger that looks for “Any Column Value Changed in Board” on the Xapier integration for Monday.com configuration but from what I can tell it looks like this trigger sends all information for the entire item and does not identify the column that was changed. how can i only get the required details?

Can Intercom workflows trigger a zapier workflow?

As title says, my use case would be unnecessary to have Zapier's flow activate on every conversation. What I couldn't find in the documentation and my own exploration is if I can use Intercom's workflows to request information via Zapier from WooCommerce so the AI Bot from Intercom can respond to customer inquiries.

Is this flow possible?

Hey Zapier community :) Does anyone know if this is possible? I want to link my ON24 account to Active Campaign so those who register get passed to a list in Active Campaign. However, I want to add some logic that will only add registrants to the list who have ticked the “I would like to join the mailing list” tick box. Many thanks, Kieran

Premature Triggering? Field Populates in Tests but Not in Live Run

Thanks to these forums (AKA thanks to Troy), I’ve managed to built my private trigger and it’s working! Almost perfectly.Issue: The trigger pulls invoice without an invoice number. It’s a 2 minute polling trigger. Here’s a screenshot from the live zap run (note the empty ‘invoice number’ field’)And here’s a screenshot from a test I just ran. The invoice number is populated.My best guess: Normally after I send an invoice in the app, it has its invoice number as ‘unassigned’ for a few seconds, and THEN populates a number. I’m guessing that the trigger is pulling the invoice data before it’s been assigned a number.What I don’t know is how to get around that. Any ideas?ReferencesAPI docs.Code:const options = {  url: 'https://api.payday.is/invoices/?include=lines&excludeStatus=draft,credit,cancelled,paid',  method: 'GET',  headers: {    'X-CLIENT-ID': bundle.authData.ClientID,    'X-CLIENT-SECRET': bundle.authData.ClientSecret,    'Api-Version': 'alpha',    'Authorization': bundle.authD
