warning

In Zapier you need to parse your code. You must provide the script as a string in the JSON request body. If you need help converting your JavaScript code to a properly escaped string, check out our Online Code Parser Tool to easily format your code for the API.

Remember to always return something in your script! If you don't explicitly return a value, your script will return undefined. Always include a return statement with meaningful data :)
