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.

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!

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? Any and

Unique issue in Shopify environment

Hi, I have a problem.I start to review a flow of zapier in production which concerns communication from shopify to salesforce.Shopify has a single environment that is used in production has no test environments.If I after testing by turning off the zapier and then to test with the integrated systems I have to publish the zapier, the trigger of shopify it is connected to the same environment as the active zap in production.Could I would have problems if two triggers are targeting the same environment? if so how can I solve it? Thank you for your attention and support. Best Regards, Rosaria

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
