Method Zapier Connection Issue

arrowplane — Wed, 06 Feb 2019 17:04:12 GMT

Hello,

Wondering if I can get any assistance with mapping fields from a Gravity Form field to existing Method fields using the Zapier app.

I have mapped my form fields to custom fields in Zapier, but it's not clear to me how those would get connected to Method fields. Perhaps I should use the Method variable names in the Zapier custom field label fields? In any case, with them mapped as I have them now, I am getting the following error in Method:

"We had trouble sending your test through.

[object Object]"

I had already successfully connected to the Method account in Zapier, but the action step is not working.

Any advice or guidance here would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Gravity Forms / PHP Example Code

arrowplane — Fri, 05 Feb 2016 21:16:47 GMT

I was having trouble myself finding any fully working examples of the Method API in PHP or, better yet, a PHP example that was integrating data from a WordPress Gravity Forms form into the API call. I've figured it out and thought I'd post in case others found themselve in a similar situation.

I ended up using nusoap: http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/

In my situation, I have a form on a WordPress site using a Gravity Forms form. I wanted to continue using the GF functionality, but to also submit directly to my client's Method account. I am not sure if this is the case for everyone, but for new customer leads I needed to insert an entry in the Customer table as well as the Contacts table. The unique identifier for both is the full name (or "Name" in my example).

You can find my code here: https://gist.github.com/relish27/67432c710f4b4904ca6f

Thanks, Jonathan. I have actually made some headway. Once I've got everything 100% working I'll create a new post with a WordPress Gravity Forms PHP example, something that I and a few others had been looking for. I post a reference in this thread as well.

Hello,

Checking in again to see if anyone can assist. Is this message happening in error for some reason? It seems like it is a generic message and not valid? Would be great if anyone could shed some light on this.

Thanks.

Thank you, I also heard this from my client's Method consultant but hadn't yet updated this thread. Thank you! We are in classic.

I have been trying to use the API through a variety of methods I've seen in the forums.... and all of them return the same result:

Failure. The API could not validate your log in. Please make sure you have entered the correct Company Account, User and Password, and that each are spelt correctly. Also, ensure that this User has been configured for Method API access by going to Customize > Users, editing the User, and ensuring that there is a check in the 'Is Allowed to Connect via MethodAPI' checkbox.

I've double-checked the credientials and they are correct. I'm also able to return values when using this person's code -- https://www.method.me/cs/forums/p/6818/25395.aspx#25395 Which seems to tell me that my credientials are correct. But that is not the method I'm wanting to use. (I want to use MethodAPIInsertV2). It kind of seems like this error is generic, based on how many times I've seen it listed for various things in the forums.

It would be awesome if there was a Method-approved PHP example in the API docs. By searching in the forums, there's tons of people who have been looking for this, for years.
