Posted March 31, 20232 yr Is it possible to create Zapier topics post from specific forum/forums instead of one option topics from all forums?
March 31, 20232 yr Community Expert You can use Zapier conditions https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496276332557-Add-conditions-to-Zaps-with-filters to control this.
March 31, 20232 yr Author You can use Zapier conditions https://help.zapier.com/hc/en-us/articles/8496276332557-Add-conditions-to-Zaps-with-filters to control this. Perfect learning a new thing, but I do suggestion such information like this link should be mentioned in the guide's article.
March 31, 20232 yr Author Adding this information for clients who cannot afford to pay for Zapier that adding conditions to Zaps with filters is only available for paid plans. Edited March 31, 20232 yr by Afrodude
April 1, 20232 yr Author @Daniel F what is the best option to do that because I have been trying to do it, and I didn't succeed yet. I tried by forum ID etc and other available options, and still posting from everywhere. Edited April 1, 20232 yr by Afrodude
April 3, 20231 yr I tried out Zapeir a few weeks ago and gave up, it just wouldn't accept the provided credentials in the AdminCP. My free trial has since ended, but I wanted to see what was possible using their free service. In particular, I wanted simply to create an email, topic or PM message for when a member had a birthday or registration anniversary. Hope you get it sorted.

Could you clarify what you mean by the credentials in the ACP? There's nothing to do in your ACP except to "enable it" and to copy the URL and REST API Key into Zapier. Is this the step that failed?
April 3, 20231 yr Author Could you share a picture of your zap and the configuration? Sure. I will do that today after work. it just wouldn't accept the provided credentials in the AdminCP. Are you using Nginx?
April 4, 20231 yr Are you using Nginx? No, just Apache. Sorry to hijack your thread! Could you clarify what you mean by the credentials in the ACP? There's nothing to do in your ACP except to "enable it" and to copy the URL and REST API Key into Zapier. Is this the step that failed? In my defence, I've slept since then! Yes, that would be the stage. I tried a few times, but couldn't get any further to set anything up. I'll give it another go. I'm wondering now if it might have been Cloudflare blocking the connection. Edited April 4, 20231 yr by The Old Man
April 4, 20231 yr Author Sorry to hijack your thread! It's all good my friend. Just give me $500, and I will give you another topic if you want 😛
April 6, 20231 yr Could you clarify what you mean by the credentials in the ACP? There's nothing to do in your ACP except to "enable it" and to copy the URL and REST API Key into Zapier. Is this the step that failed? Hi @Daniel F I had another go at this and the error I was getting before reoccurs connection failed with a 403 every time. Looking deeper it turned out to be Cloudflare’s WAF (free account) blocking it by issuing a Bot Fight mode managed challenge. Events Log: I set up a rule to allow the Zapier user-agent (not ideal) to skip which doesn’t seem to work although it it shows as working in the CF events log, but found I’ve had to switch off Bot Fight Mode in order to get it working.
April 6, 20231 yr Community Expert Is there a way to disable the firewall / rules for the api directory?
April 6, 20231 yr It seems not, the rules include options to do it... but according to the documentation, the new WAF's Bot Fight managed rules can no longer be overridden by rules, only by defining a WAF Exception. However, when you go to do it, it is restricted to Pro account holders. I tried making use of the rule setup in the screenshot but the connections are blocked. If I disable bot fight mode, it works.
