Posting data after retrieving a CSRF token in Zapier yields a 403 error. How can one maintain HTTP session continuity using a JavaScript step or developer app?
I encountered similar issues when dealing with persistent sessions in Zapier, and one solution I found useful was to consolidate my calls into the same JavaScript step. Instead of trying to manage state over separated actions, I handled the initial token retrieval and subsequent post within a unified script. This allowed me to easily capture and reuse response data, such as headers, and maintain session continuity in one go. It required modifying the code structure a bit, but it proved effective by keeping the necessary session details intact throughout the process.
It is possible to handle session persistence by leveraging your JavaScript code to maintain cookies manually. In my experience, using Zapier’s code function to extract and pass session identifiers, such as cookies, can work effectively. Instead of relying on built-in session management, you can capture the token or cookie from the initial fetch and add it to the header of subsequent API calls. This approach required a bit of extra coding, yet it resolved the 403 issues I encountered.
hey, try storing your session cookie from the initial req and manually send it along in your followup call. i think zapier doesn’t auto manage that, so you gotta code it in your js step. possbly this will keep your session alive.
