I have gathered a lot of valuable information from your content. Although I am not utilizing Zapier but Integrately, I found your video to be one of the best resources for webhook I have come across. I appreciate the detailed explanation of API understanding in your content.
Thanks for the video. One of my API objects is an array. like "Addresses: [street]". how do I populate that on zapier data field? have tried a few combinations but nothing seems to work.
Sounds like we need a little more information... - Are you trying to get this to populate in a trigger step or action step? - Which apps are you using? Trigger & where is your API call going? You may need to use a "Formatter" step in zapier to reformat the content into a string depending on where you're trying to put it.

Oh there’s lots of things. Other automation providers have different support. xray.tools/app/slack Adding a bookmark, star a message, create or complete a reminder are all not supported as no code integrations on Zapier. Updating channel topic, file creation/deletion, etc. Generally Zapier has the most common ones, but adding a few custom bells and whistles is helpful sometimes.
This one is tough. There’s a few ways you can do it. One could be storing them in a Zapier Table (we just released a video about tables a few weeks ago) - or use something like Airtable which can be referenced within the automation. Either way, it will cost you an extra task, and will still be visible inside of Zapier History. Make.com offers “secrets” to enable this type of use-case. If you’re using custom APIs often, we’d suggest checking out our beginners guide - though we don’t mention secrets directly since that’s a more advanced topic. Thanks for the question!

Great question, but no. Zapier is far too slow to process data on a “chatbot-like” timeline. If you’re trying to make a custom chatbot, let’s talk! www.calendly.com/xraytech/15
is frustrating me and I know its becuase I dont understand it yet.. I have a Zap to create a folder, another to shorten the URL. I would like to have that shotened URL be added schedule in humanity. very new @ this sorry
Thanks for the Q. Theres a couple things that could be wrong here. Make sure you're using the "Alt Link" from the Google drive folder if you're using google drive for your folders.

Absolutely invaluable content for the low code no code community!
This was really useful. I didn't know that we can directly do API request. Now I did and my zap is running smoother!
You bet! This unlocks a ton of potential in Zapier, glad you enjoyed the video!
Gold. Thank you for keeping it straightforward. Also great video production, editing, narrating and audio. Liked & subscribed!
All the humans at XRay thank you ❤️

This guy isnt a lier listen to him.
What does the current Zapier/Slack standard options lack that you would need to use a Webook w/ an API to do?

@@XRayAutomation Thanks! I'm always trying to see what others are doing and seeing what makes sense for us to integrate
Do you have any app recommendations for storage of API credentials so that you are not storing the credentials in plain-text within the zap?
This one is tough. There’s a few ways you can do it.
One could be storing them in a Zapier Table (we just released a video about tables a few weeks ago) - or use something like Airtable which can be referenced within the automation.

Can you please also make a video for Xentral and Webhooks by Zapier?

This is amazing! thank you for this, but is there a way to do it with airtable? i mean, making a POST webhook for an airtable record..
Of course! You’ll need to draft a script inside of an Airtable automation. ChatGPT should be able to get you 90% of the way.
Thanks!, i'll try this one out, it would be amazing if you made a tutorial about this one! @@XRayAutomation
What is the first app you used in Slack integration part?
You might be referring to www.XRay.Tools - that’s our automation search engine to quickly see what integration support each automation provider has
9:25, Header has 2 separate fields in Zap, I think now it is just one field. So confusing regarding formatting.
Thanks for pointing that out! Lots of change/updates in Zapier as they build out these features!
i am so much struggling to integrate convertkit to privyr. can you please help me?
Checkout XRay.Tools for this: xray.tools/?q=convertkit+zapier-privyr
Looks like you don't even need code to set this up!
can I make a chatbot with zapier but use webhook to answer my clients questions?
Great question, but no.
