Hey everyone, I’m Monte and I’m having a tough time with Zapier. I’m trying to send some data out, but it’s not working right. I’m not super tech-savvy, so I’m kinda lost.
I’ve tried running my code through debuggers, but the errors don’t make sense to me. I even asked ChatGPT about it, and it said there were no syntax or formatting problems. So now I’m out of ideas and hoping someone here can help.
The weird thing is, the JSON debugger is showing errors that don’t seem to exist in Zapier. And the prompts for GPT in Zapier don’t have quotes at the start or end, so that’s not the issue either.
Has anyone else run into something like this? Any tips on how to fix it? I’d really appreciate some help!
I’ve encountered similar issues with Zapier data exports before, Monte. It can be frustrating when the errors don’t seem to match up with what you’re seeing. One thing that helped me was double-checking the data types in my Zapier workflow. Sometimes, Zapier interprets certain fields differently than expected, leading to JSON parsing errors downstream.
Another trick I found useful was to use a JSON validator tool outside of Zapier. This can sometimes catch issues that Zapier’s built-in debugger misses. Also, pay close attention to any nested structures in your data - that’s where I’ve often found sneaky formatting problems.
If you’re still stuck, it might be worth temporarily simplifying your export to just a few key fields. This can help isolate where the problem is occurring. Once you get a basic export working, you can gradually add back the other fields to pinpoint what’s causing the issue.
I’ve been there, Monte. Zapier’s JSON exports can be tricky. One thing that’s helped me is using a step-by-step approach. First, try exporting just one or two fields to see if that works. If it does, slowly add more fields until you find the problematic one. Also, check for any special characters or unusual data types in your fields - those can sometimes cause unexpected issues. If you’re still stuck, Zapier’s community forums are a goldmine of solutions. I’ve found answers to some pretty obscure problems there. Don’t give up - with a bit of troubleshooting, you’ll get it sorted out.
hey monte, i’ve dealt with zapier headaches too. have u tried exporting to a different format? sometimes switching to CSV or XML can bypass json hiccups. also, double-check ur field mappings in zapier - i once had a sneaky mismatch that caused weird errors. if ur still stuck, hit up zapier support. they’ve saved my butt before!
