I was able to generate video and audio separately but need a way to merge them

I'm new-ish to smartsheet and wondering what the best way to integrate Quickbooks Online to SS is. I know there is Zapier, a SS created integration and a QBO created integration... Not sure how to proceed regarding price, continuity and data swap capabilities. If anyone has experience, I'd love the input!

Curious if anyone here has run into the limits of what Zapier can do inside the browser itself, like when you need to interact with a page directly rather than just move data between apps. And while they have a Chrome Extension, it only lets you create fields that the user would have to fill in when running an automation, rather than scraping the page itself to prefill that (or is there another way to do it?)

We've been building something that fills that gap and works alongside Zapier. Made a quick video showing how it works:

No cost for developers, and it's a standalone product for automation but we're wondering if it would be useful for Zapier workflows that some sort of front end?

Can I filter out junk data before it enters the Zap?

Just applied for the partner program and got this email. Can anyone who has gone through the process confirm this? Seems like a long lead time. Thanks!

Use case sharing post here!

I could definitely use Claude Cowork to run this agent, but instead, I preferred Zapier because of the speed in building and running it.

It is important to be able to ask my digital brain while I am not on my Claude desktop, where I normally use my Claude desktop.

Is there any case you would like to test? happy to answer in comments:

Not an account-specific support ask, and I am not looking for anyone's logs.

I am trying to sanity-check a Zapier ops pattern: a webhook or trigger appears received/successful, but the downstream Zap still does not run, validates wrong, or produces unusable data.

For people who maintain Zaps, what did the last incident like this look like?

• What was the Zap supposed to do?
• What success signal did you see, such as caught hook, Zap history, trigger test, or HTTP 200?
• What actually failed downstream?
• What did you check first: trigger test, Zap history, payload shape, app-side webhook settings, filters/paths, replay, docs, or support?
• Was it a one-time setup issue, or something you now watch for?

Please do not paste webhook URLs, payloads, logs, screenshots, account details, customer data, credentials, or anything sensitive.

For people using Zapier, Make, n8n, etc. in real workflows:

How do you usually know when something breaks?

I’ve noticed that built-in run history is fine for small workflows, but it can get messy when there are multiple automations or client projects. I’m curious if people rely on the native error emails, send failures to Slack, check manually, or use some other setup.

Also, if you manage workflows for clients, do you document the logic anywhere, or do you mostly debug by opening the workflow when something fails?

Trying to understand if failed automation monitoring is actually a common pain point, or if most people feel the built-in tools are good enough.

I have a Zap that sends a standard text message to existing customers listed in a spreadsheet. In order to avoid rate limits, I am using the queue function to wait 5 minutes between messages.

We have a few hundred entries on this list, and we only want to send out the messages during prime business hours, so right now I'm queueing up 60 more customers each morning.

Is there a way to set active business hours, which will be the only time the queue is active? Something like 10am to 3pm each business day. And then I could queue the entire list all at once, and it would only run during those times and pause outside of them?

Hello, is anyone able to help me with a Zapier automation? Looking at importing data from an email into a notion database. ETA

In my country, accountants spend a huge amount of time copy/pasting between different software systems. This is a broader problem across the whole private sector, but accountants specifically are also an incredibly insular community. They don't easily let outsiders in, and when I approach them with "I know how to help you", they don't take it seriously.

My guess is they'd need to see a working POC or MVP before they'd even start listening.

What's your experience working with accountants as clients? What kind of POC or MVP would you recommend building to actually get their attention? And what solutions have you seen in practice that made a real, noticeable difference in their day-to-day work?

I'm sending a lead event via Facebook Conversions and want to make sure the data is hashed. I spoke via zapier support and they told me to use formatter > utilities > hash but that doesn't exist.

OpenClaw noob here. I'm having the hardest time setting up zapier MCP on my VPS Openclaw.  Any suggestions? It fails on OAuth and after several tries using OpenClaud Cowork it works but then after restart same problems.  I've been exhausting my CoWork credit within a few minutes 😞.

Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. 

I run a small startup and I’ve been exploring automation tools to save time and reduce manual work. I know Zapier is one of the most popular tools out there and the integrations look really useful, but honestly the pricing feels quite high for a small business/startup like ours.

Hey everyone,

New guy here! I currently use Calendly for appointment bookings through my nonprofit, but I’m trying to build a workflow that I don’t think the free plan supports.

Here’s the ideal setup I'm looking for:

• A client books an appointment through Calendly
• The appointment initially goes on my calendar
• A group of volunteers automatically gets notified that a new appointment is available
• If a volunteer is available, they can “claim” that appointment
• Once claimed, I get notified and the volunteer is automatically added to the calendar event (or replaces me as the assigned person)
• If nobody claims it, the appointment simply stays with me by default

I’d prefer to stay with Calendly if possible since that’s already integrated with my calendar, but I’m open to switching platforms or adding automation tools if needed.

Has anyone built something like this successfully? If so, what stack did you use? Calendly + Zapier / Power Automate / Make / something else?

Happy to pay for tools if needed. Thanks in advance!!
