Discover and Configure an Action
with Zapier
Find an app, pick an action, and populate a dropdown input field with its choices.
- Search the Zapier app directory for an app whose title matches the query and capture its canonical id.
- List the actions exposed by the matched app so the target action can be confirmed.
- Read the input field definitions for the target action so the UI knows which fields exist and which require choices.
- Fetch the possible values for the SELECT input field so a dropdown can be populated in the configuration UI.
What you'll need to have ready
- accessToken: OAuth2 bearer token used in the Authorization header.
- appQuery: Text query to find an app by title in the app directory.
- actionId: The Action ID whose input fields and choices are needed.
- authentication: The Authentication ID granting access to the third-party app.
- inputId: The Input Field ID of the SELECT field whose choices to resolve.
