Zapier has a python / JS code step (basically a AWS lambda) you can use to do something like this. Downside is that it has a timeout of 10s

- nirga 4y agoHuh cool thanks I didn’t know that! I guess it’s just another action and not something “native” to Zapier (so if you want to later connect it to some off-the-shelf action you can’t).
- robbiemitchell 4y agoYou can connect code steps to other actions. For example, every Python code step has a reserved `output` variable which allows you to pass a list out to the next steps. It gets passed as stringified JSON: if it contains dicts, those values are made available automatically as inputs to other steps. You can also pass more complex, nested JSON and just json.loads it later.
- realusername 4y agoAnd the second downside is that you don't necessarily get the same data as the normal no-code steps... It's still a mess to manage arrays and arguments auto-split by commas
