Connect and Test an Action

with Zapier

Add a new app connection and verify it by testing an action.

  1. Create a new Authentication for the app using the supplied credential fields and capture the resulting authentication id.
  2. List the actions exposed by the app so the action to test can be confirmed.
  3. Run a step test for the chosen action using the newly created authentication to confirm the connection and inputs work end to end.
What you'll need to have ready
  • accessToken: OAuth2 bearer token used in the Authorization header.
  • appId: Canonical App ID (UUID) the authentication is created for.
  • authTitle: Human-readable title for the new authentication.
  • authenticationFields: Map of credential field name/value pairs required by the app.
  • actionId: The Action ID to test against the third-party API.
  • inputs: Map of input field id/value pairs to use for the test.
