Hello there, 
I was creating a Calendly Webhook Zap where everytime an Invitee is created a Thing in Bubble is Created.

When I test this I get this Error

Everything is exposed from API in bubble.
And I can even set everything up in zapier

How could I create a new thing from calendly inside bubble with Zapier? This is so challenging. 
Has anyone already done this?

Hi @qiz4i 

Good question.

Bubble Zap step error is indicating the “Data Type” of “interview” is not found.

Check the bubble settings to make sure that is configured correctly.

Yes, everything is set correctly in Bubble. From settings > API > everything is checked as in the bubble documentation.

@qiz4i 

Did you rename the field in Bubble?

Try refreshing the Bubble Zap step.

Try reconnecting the Bubble Zap app connection.

The Zap Step is what I was missing. Don’t know how to make it trigger because I want the “Create a New Thing” to happen when a new Invitee Created is done on Calendly.

Have you checked out related Bubble topics that may provide guidance?

Yes, didn’t find anything related to my issue. 
So to explain it better:
I have an app in bubble that redirects the user to calendly, from calendly I get the Invitee Created webhook inside zapier and then I should Create a thing from the data that I have from calendly. 
So, as you can see, there is no Zap that runs inside bubble. Isn’t this possible?

@qiz4i 

Since the encountered error is on the Zap step that uses the Bubble app, the issue is likely related to a Bubble configuration.

Because Bubble can be highly customized, it seems like something may need to be adjusted in Bubble for the Bubble Zap step to work correctly.

The most likely cause of this is not toggling the Type to be available on the API settings.

On Bubble, go to Settings > API and make sure you have ticked the Type under “Enable Data API”

Hi. Did you ever get an answer or solution?  I too am using Zapier to create a new user (thing) and keep getting the Type not found.  Don’t know what it is looking for.

Hi there @MikeKallet,

I did some digging into this, and it seems like the Data API is turned off by default. To enable it, check the the box “This app exposes a Data API” in the API section of the Settings Tab. Once checked, you will see a list of all custom types in your app, and you can select them one-by-one to expose them via the API. More about it here: https://manual.bubble.io/core-resources/application-settings/api#enable-data-api

Hopefully, this helps!
