cardly media integration

When creating a custom card in Cardly.net you upload an image of certain specifications detailed by Cardly. There’s information about this in the API specifications. I don’t see this in any trigger in Zapier .  There is a requirement specified that when providing media for the front side of the card you have to either upload it to your business account in advance and provide the media ID or you send it through their API. I don’t see how this information is presented in any of the Cardly app zapier integration triggers, can somebody assist me and understanding how this works? Thank you!

Send/parse bundle.rawRequest fetched data from triggers to creates

Hello everyone,We are considering building an zapier integration(cli) and i’m currently building a demo app,but i’m stuck with the following problem:Our app uses API-KEY authentication and REST Hook trigger,but i when i send some data to the trigger via the webhookURL i want to extract a specific header from that  request which i can in the trigger: const perform = async (z, bundle) => {#how can i fetch here my desired http-header and parse it to the creates module ? bundle.rawRequest.headers[‘Http-My-Header’]return [bundle.rawRequest];}; but i don’t know how to parse that value to the creates section so that i can send back to my server ? Since its not a user input field i would like to avoid using the input fields for that .Thanks .

Help Needed: Zapier Not Triggering Greek Blog Posts from WPML

Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with my Zapier integration, and I hope someone here can help me out. I have a WordPress site that uses WPML (WordPress Multilingual Plugin) to manage multilingual content. I’ve set up a Zap in Zapier to trigger actions whenever a new blog post is published. The Zap works perfectly for English blog posts, but it’s not triggering for Greek or German blog posts. Has anyone experienced a similar issue or have any suggestions on what might be going wrong? Thanks in advance for your help!

Delay Until Other Zaps process a specific record

Hey all, I’ve built out invoicing in Airtable and I use Zapier for some of the more complex automations. For our invoicing, the recipient can take one of three actions (i.e. trigger 1+ zaps) on a given Airtable record. The actions result in an updated invoice which is automatically emailed to them.We don’t expect the recipient to take these actions at the speed of light, but we wanted to test these actions as if we were in a hurry and to see if Airtable and Zapier would ‘keep up.’ They didn’t - usually it catches one or more of the changes but not all of them, and the last invoice received by the customer is incorrect.  IS IT POSSIBLE to delay a zap if other zaps are processing the same record? What are suggestions to navigate around this? THANK YOU!

Rest Hook Trigger

I have set up my rest hook trigger API configuration, the challenge i am having is, after creating a zap and testing, a hook url is created in my apps database, but after publishing the zap it creates a new hook url, rendering the formal one useless, and unsubscribe url only works for published zap, what kind of parameter should i use to differentiate published zap hook url from unpublished zap.

Using trigger with browse AI

Hi, feels like a stupid question but here it is. When does my robot run, must I press the robot run task?I have integrated with Zapier and when I build from the Browser AI site I get the trigger namned "Executed Task in Browse AI".When I build frpm Zapier its namned "Execute Task in Browse AI".Almost the same but there is a difference of course. I can´t do Executed task... after another trigger. Executed task... gives me the best result for some reason.What I whant to build is that every thursday morning every week it will get the data from Bowser AI and use it to eventually send a mejl.  Thanks!

Who triggered the Linear event

Hello, I am creating a zap catching Linear issue updates and logging them into a Notion table. Unfortunately, in the Linear event trigger and later in recording the event, I don’t see who triggered it. I can see only the issue creator and assignee but not who did the change.  My use case is that I need to log ticket Rejection status changes made by certain people. What else I can do to get the full information about the event?Ideas are welcome.

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

Allow multiple input channels in Trigger step

Currently in Zapier, the initial trigger step can select either one input channel from the source, or (in some cases) all input channels; but you cannot select a subset with 2 or more input channels.That is abstract, so let me make this concrete with two examples:1. Suppose the trigger is to submit a new form entry in Wufoo (https://www.wufoo.com). In the Trigger section, the zap component for Wufoo allows you select exactly one form. But often 2 or more forms will need the exact same processing, differing only in superficial ways such as the sales copy.2. When using the premium Facebook Lead Ads trigger, you are allowed to select a single Instant Form to trigger off of; or you can elect to trigger off all Instant Forms defined in the Meta ad account. The later is rarely useful, as different Instant Forms generally target different funnels or market segments, so require rather different processing. But it is common to have 2 or more Instant Forms which require identical processing.In b

Zapier Tables Delete Row After Trigger

Is there a way to Trigger deleting a row from Zapier Tables after a button click? I have set up an approval process in Zapier Tables someone is manually clicking a trigger button to approve or deny a new account. Clicking either button should delete/archive the row of data so that way its been marked as handled.  I have tried to set this up via Trigger Zap Button Clicked in Zapier Tables Delete Record in Zapier Tables but for step #2 it wants me to indicate a single specific record when the button is clicked, not just the generic Row for that button. Does anyone have any ideas around this / how to get the record ID to recognize the row of the button click and not a specific single record?

Defining Dynamic Output Fields

I have been trying to find a way to define dynamic output fields for a hook trigger so that they would be available in the later steps but been having no luck. I saw this post which would be similar to my case, but no input values will be taken from the user. This is the a sample payload for the performList:{ "id": "123456", "customFields": { "fieldName1": "fieldValue1", "fieldName2": "fieldValue2", "fieldName3": "fieldValue3", }} The field names would vary depending on the account subscribed to the hook, and when there are changes made to the field values, the payload will then include a to and from fields for the field that changed, i.e.:{ "id": "123456", "customFields": { "fieldName1": "fieldValue1", "fieldName1To": "fieldValue1To", "fieldName1From": "fieldValue1From", "fieldName2": "fieldValue2", "fieldName3": "fieldValue3", }} How can I define the output fields for the To/From fields so that these would be available in the action step?

Zapier App Developer UI - Rest Hook not working

Hey everyone! I’ve been trying to setup a Zapier custom app using the UI, but facing an issue with the REST Hook trigger. The issue seems to be after setting up the trigger, when I create a zap, it asks me to manually configure the webhook, which doesn’t make sense, it should auto configure based on the subscribe configuration. To test it, I have used a mockapi endpoint, zapier doesnt seem to be making the subscribe request at all when setting up a zap. Am i missing something? Thanksps. Im aware of the events payload not JSON-escaped, I tried in the code editor

Nesting Trigger Functions

I am working on a trigger where I need to pull data from two API end points. The first endpoint is a contact from a database that retrieves an email address, then to obtain the details for that contact (email) I need to use another end point. once is /Subscriber and the other is /Subsriber/ {email}/ Properties. I am wondering if I can use a variable to obtain all the data in one trigger, as I have is set up in separate triggers right now.  Here is the code for bothSubscriber:const options = { url: 'https://edapi.campaigner.com/v1/Subscribers?PageSize=1', method: 'GET', headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json', 'X-API-KEY': bundle.authData.ApiKey }, params: { 'ApiKey': bundle.authData.ApiKey }};return z.request(options).then((response) => { response.throwForStatus(); const result = z.JSON.parse(response.content); result.id = result.Items; return [result];});And Subscriber Propertiesconst options = { url: `https://edapi.campaigner.com/v1/Subscribers/${bundle.inputData.e
