Shop-ware automations?

Do any of you guys have experience with the auto repair shop management software? I just found out that they integrate with zapier and I think that is a very untapped market to sell automations to

Trouble connecting zapier to mySQL/RDS

There seems to have been a zapier/MySQL update and now I can longer get my zap to get my RDS info. 

The form, filled out.

I’m following the directions to the best of my ability but I keep getting this response:  

We hit an error adding your new account

authentication failed: AppVersions using SQL Zero require static-ip pool types

If anyone could help me figure out where I’ve gone off the rails, I'd really appreciate it. 

Thanks,

Worst customer service!!!!!

https://www.trustpilot.com/review/zapier.com

they block access my access to their messenger and been ignoring my emails not only that is also blocking me from replying to my post after i ask for a refund because that’s what they said its subject to local laws and all they said was nope not qualified. on what fiing grounds how are you above the law.
before i got block from their messenger they told me if i want to upgrade to professional 2000 for better support wow world class customer service yeah right
Edit:
this is what they have to say about the law: 
Thank you for reaching back out. This is Raquel from the Billing and Accounts team at Zapier, stepping in for my colleague Lauren.
 
We’ve reviewed your refund request based on applicable local law and have determined that your account’s business use of Zapier doesn’t qualify you for a refund.
 
If you're looking to downgrade your account to the Free plan, that's something you can do right within your Zapier account.

  1. Visit this page (https://zapier.com/app/billing/plans)
  2. Navigate to the Free Plan
  3. Under the Free Plan, click on "Downgrade"
  4. Follow the prompts until the downgrade is confirmed

When you downgrade your plan, changes take effect at the end of that monthly or yearly billing cycle. You'll still have access to the features of your current plan until that date.
 
You can learn more about the plan change here: Change or cancel your Zapier plan
 
I know this isn’t the answer you were hoping for, but I hope this has helped clarify what we can do in these situations. We won't be able to accommodate further discussion on the topic.
 
We are always here and more than happy to investigate any issues with your Zaps, so if something like that comes up, please don’t hesitate to open a new ticket at https://zapier.com/get-help/

Ignition- Asana and Zapier Integration

This is an extensive zap. I have tried to build a tax board in our Asana that contains different fields which have lists for tax return types (example: 1120, 1120s, 1065, 1040, 990)

It pulls the information From a proposal in Ignition and populates the information into Asana, however some of the proposals have multiple return types. (Example: 1120 + 1040 or 1040 + schedule C)

When creating a new task in Asana, it will only produce one task instead of two when the proposals are signed and we need each task to be labeled the correct return type from the drop down field in Asana.

Any ideas on how to build this effectively? Right now our IT has several zaps for this and it’s not working like it should. If you could give me a detailed break down on how you would go about it, I would appreciate it.

I feel like these larger automations do not work as well.

Issue Pulling Orders from Shopify to Google Sheets

I have been battling this issue for days and feel like I've tried everything I can think of.

In theory this Zap should start when an order syncs to my Shopify.

There is then a 15 minute delay so my Shopify flow I have set up can tag any new orders with a Production Needed tag.

Then there is a filter in my Zap that will only continue if - Tags - Exactly Matches - Production Needed
OR continue if - Tags - Contains - Production

This is where I keep getting stuck.

Despite adjusting the delay all the way up to 15 minutes (Orders are tagged by the Shopify flow within 1 minute of being received). I've verified the tag name, when I test the Zap in Zapier it shows the orders, it adds them to the sheet - but when I have an order come in naturally and go back to look at the Zap logs it keeps telling me:

  • 1.(missing value) (Text) Exactly matches Production Needed
  • 2.(missing value) (Text) Contains Production

I've verified the Production tag is being added to the orders in Shopify - I've double checked everything, any ideas? 😅

Need help as I've been stuck on this problem for days

Hello everyone, I’m reaching out for help to solve an issue:

I'm trying to extract data from a Google Sheet, set a condition to avoid errors if rows are empty, then send the data with a prompt to ChatGPT and insert the response back into the same Google Sheet, replacing an existing value and want to create a loop to do this to all rows .
When I create the blocks, everything seems to work, but when I run the zap, nothing happens. Here’s a screenshot of the steps. Can anyone help me find a solution?

Thank you in advance!

401 Error when creating a WordPress Post via Zapier Webhook

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing a 401 error when attempting to create a post on WordPress using a Webhook in Zapier. The error states, “Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user.”

Here are some details:

  • User Role: Admin
  • Password: Confirmed as correct
  • Testing in Postman: The same request works successfully in Postman, so the credentials and endpoint are correct.

In Zapier, here’s the setup:

{

  "title": "Title",

  "content": "Content",

  "status": "draft"

}

I’ve attached a screenshot of the error and setup configuration in Zapier for reference. Any insights on why this might be failing in Zapier but working in Postman would be greatly appreciated.

Looping, not looping?

I formatted some data to seperate objects with formatter. 

I then created a loop with those objects. 

 This is the data I get from the text (screenshot attached and pasted below)

However, when I go to the next task of create database item in notion. I select “Task” it gives one option which seems correct. When I select it and run a test. I only get 1 entry into my DB instead of 3.

Screenshots attached

Anyone have experience on Zapier and Folk CRM?

Hi, I’ve been working on integrating Folk CRM with Zapier. Here’s what I’ve set up: I linked a Folk table with Zapier to run a Zap that triggers a JavaScript code action, which then adds any new data from the Folk table into my Supabase database table.

My issue is with the pre-existing data in the Folk table. Zapier only activates on a trigger, meaning it only processes new data entries as triggers, which I’ve integrated successfully. However, I need to transfer the static, pre-existing data that’s already in the Folk table to my database table. Is there a way to do this via Zapier, or is there any other method to achieve this?

Limitation: I am not allowed to use a manual CSV export and import.

A string should be added to a text in a csv file

https://preview.redd.it/264c6a4781zd1.png?width=465&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e0e45fff8afc16ebee10ebe65725ff4fa4f3e63

Hi. I need help with a Zap. A CSV file is placed in folder A. It should be opened, and in column C, starting from row C2, a string should be added to the text. The file should then be saved again as a CSV in folder B. After saving, the file in folder A should be deleted. Unfortunately, I only get empty files saved in folder B.

Help! Zapier not showing specific Notion database.

Can someone help me troubleshoot. I had this issue, did a few things and managed to connect the two. Now it’s no longer working (nothing has changed) and I can’t reselect the database.

I’ve unlinked and relinked notion and zapier. I’ve specifically shared the DB with zapier. I can see it’s shared - but it doesn’t show up on zapier. These are the steps I took last time but no joy this time.

I am a newbie with Zapier platform. I just agreed ti build a workflow, which requires access to the client's Google Drive and Sheet.

Normally, when setting up the Zap, it it was me, I just clicked to the Google Login page and authorize the OAuth access.

Thanks in advance.

API to automate affiliate link generation and sharing

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share news about an API I’ve been working on, designed to make it super easy to search Amazon products, generate affiliate links, and share them across social media or blogs without any coding. Perfect for No Code/Low Code app builders, this API saves time by letting you create affiliate links with just a few clicks.

Have been exploring no code apps recently, I created this API to help non-developers and content creators jump into affiliate marketing without the tech complexity. The idea came from watching how long it took me to manually create and share Amazon links, so I wanted to build something that’s fast and easy for anyone to use.

I’m giving away couple of license keys to get an early feedback and suggestions to improve the tool before releasing it to the world. If you’re interested, just DM me with the word “ZAPIER”, and let me know how this could help with your content. Thanks for reading—I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

What other resources are there to learn about Zapier?

I skimmed through the videos on Zapier University on YouTube. I was wondering where I could find additional resources to learn how to build intermediate to advanced zaps.

Looking for help locating the source of a Zap triggering Slack message

Hi there! First - I have reached out to Zapier's support team and they were unable to help me. I'm really, really hoping someone has a secret answer that I need!

Context: I'm fairly new to Zapier and am using it for work. To test out features, I initially used a personal email and then eventually created an account with my work email. I've since deleted that original account with my personal email, however, both that account and the new one had zaps that sent a message to a work Slack channel.

Issue: A zap I created is sending Slack messages and I can't find which Zap it is. It's not my work email, and it's not the deleted account. If not stopped, it's going to message Slack every other week forever.

What I've tried:

- I've logged in to Zapier with my other emails and there is nothing in there (which resulted in a lot of dup accounts lol)
- Contacted Zapier support who confirmed that the work account is not sending the message
- Logged out of Slack everywhere

Can’t get GPT/Claude with Vision to work in Zaps

Been wrestling with this problem for a while. I’m trying to build Zaps which collect responses from a Google Form or Jotform, which include an image upload, and then turn those responses into a prompt for the GPT or Claude API.

The issue I’m running into is getting either of them to accept the image uploads. I put the link to the image in Google Drive or Jotform into the image upload field for the GPT/Claude automation. Every time I try to run it, I get some kind of error- I’ve seen a few varieties, but always something to the effect that the link or image is in the wrong format.

Happens with both GPT and Claude, and both Google and Jotform. I’ve tried using Code by Zapier to convert the image links into direct download links (which they already are for Jotform) or hexadecimal- no luck. The images are all JPGs under 10 MB, so they should work just fine. Zapier is totally unable to help me here.

Anyone have any idea what’s going wrong here?

Facebook conversions not showing

I’ve currently got an ad going to a landing page and I’ve set up a stripe > Facebook conversions zap for every purchase through stripe to register as a purchase conversion (I have to set it up this way because there’s no other way to track the purchases with the particular landing page set up).

Anyway, I purchased it from the ad myself earlier and it’s not showing as a purchase on the ad. It shows as fired on Zapier but nothing on the ad. Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks!

How do I extract reddit post images so that they can be posted by the discord bot?

I have currently set up my bot and it works great, however, Reddit embeds suck and I would rather be able to post the images individually into the discord channel instead of just posting the permalink.

As far as the options go, I don't see an option that can actually achieve this, as the "media" option is empty on image posts.

[HELP] When a google drive folder is created, auto populate that created folder with subfolders.

Hi all,

Trying to figure out how to do this. When we have a new project, we create a drive folder in our "current projects folder" to house all of that projects info.

We name this "ETC001 - Benches" or something along those lines. What I'm trying to do is automate the created of subfolders (Financials, Working Files, Design Files, etc.) inside of that folder when it is created.

Essentially, user creates a new project folder "PROJECT" - this triggers zapier to create a bunch of subfolders WITHIN THAT NEWLY CREATED FOLDER.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to have the creation of a folder trigger the creation of subfolders within that newly created folder, as you can't choose a folder as the location for those subfolders when that folder hasn't been created yet (it's the trigger).

Any thoughts?

Wix form not populating correctly.

Hey all,

I'm a Zapier newbie and hoping someone can help out.

I'm trying to get Zapier to pull a URL that's entered into a Form on my Wix website, the URL form is called 'URL ONE'. I've gone through and set up the Wix Automation to Form submitted (on specific form) > Connect to Zapier, and then I've gone on Zapier and created a new Zap of Wix App, the trigger event being 'Wix Custom Triggers' on the Wix account and under automation rule I select 'URL ONE' however when I run a test the records that are pulled back are whole bunch of fields... None of them being the URLs that I've posted in the form on my website.

I would expect to see the two URLs that I've posted on my Wix website, does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
