Hello all! I am happy to announce that we have a big improvement to the Zapier integration which now includes the ability to make a Custom API Call action by means of our Typescript SDK.
You can find this by adding a new action, selecting Custom API Request (SDK) under Create.
This will populate every single method that is available via our SDK for you to use and dynamically update based on what’s needed/required for the SDK method.
This means you will have to provide information dynamically from previous steps for certain actions (such as Show File does not populate workspaces or projects or folders, you will need to supply the file_id from a previous step dynamically).
The body requests takes a JSON response, you can find what the responses should be via our API Reference on our Developer Docs.
Also, please be sure to RECONNECT your Frame.io accounts so that your connections will take advantage of the new Authorization flows listed below. You will see it say v1.3.3 under the account that you have if it is connected properly.
Since this version fixes a lot of the reconnect bugs and 401 erros with regards to refresh tokens, we will be force migrating all users to this version in 2 weeks on Feb 9, so please update your zaps before then to ensure the forced migration does not disrupt your mission critical work.
PLEASE NOTE:
The SDK includes various delete commands such as delete workspace and delete project
USE THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK — these commands are irreversible and there is a warning on the config screen stating as such. Be VERY CAREFUL when executing them, especially when testing the zap.
Please see below for the full release notes.
