Vue Axios POST to Zapier Hook Triggers CORS Issues

Other Questions Zapier
1

Submitting Vue form data via Axios to a Zapier endpoint returns CORS and 404 errors. Alternative code:

import req from 'axios';
export default {
  data: () => ({ userData: '', emailAddr: '' }),
  methods: { sendData() { req.post('/zap', { userData: '', emailAddr: '' }); } }
};

In my experience with similar setups, I encountered a situation where requests through Axios to external services like Zapier were failing due to misconfigurations in the endpoint URL and potential timing issues with the hook activation. I discovered that specifying the full endpoint URL rather than relying on a relative path was critical. It also helped to check if any intermediate proxies or local server settings were interfering with the request. Consistently reviewing the logs and aligning client requests with the expected schema defined in Zapier significantly improved the integration.

i had similar probs, try using the full zapier hook url & check your header settings. sometimes axios sends a req that zapier doesnt recongnise, so adjust the config and see if that helps. also, a quick look at your server logs might hint what went wrong.

My experience tackling CORS errors with third-party APIs like Zapier taught me to consider a few hidden issues. I encountered a situation where even with what I believed were the correct endpoints, Zapier was rejecting my requests because of a combination of request type mismatches and unexpected pre-flight checks. I had to introduce a simple proxy layer on my backend that reformatted the request, which effectively bypassed the CORS restrictions. This workaround not only resolved the errors but also provided insight into how the endpoint expected the data. It is worth checking if the service supports cross-origin requests directly or if a proxy is necessary.

My experience with Vue and Axios when integrating with third-party hooks showed that some of the issues arise from misconfigurations in the URL and headers setup. I found that using a relative path often leads to unexpected failures since Zapier does not recognize these routes as valid, which can result in CORS errors or unexpected 404 responses. I resolved this by using the fully qualified URL for the Zapier endpoint and double-checking the headers. It’s important to also confirm that the Zapier setup supports the type of request being made.
