Custom JavaScript Action

For more advanced integrations or when you need fine-grained control over the point issuance process, you can use Zapier’s “Run JavaScript” action. This allows you to make direct GraphQL calls to the Absinthe API.

Setting Up the JavaScript Action

In your Zap, add a new step and search for the “Run JavaScript” action. Copy the provided code into the Code field. Make sure to replace ‘your_bearer_token_here’ with your actual Absinthe API key or set it up as an input variable. Adjust the GraphQL query variables (address, amount, event_name, etc.) according to your specific use case.

Customizing the Action You can modify the JavaScript code to suit your specific needs:

Change the address to dynamically use a value from a previous Zap step. Adjust the amount based on specific conditions or calculations. Modify the event_name to accurately describe the triggering event. Add or remove fields in the metadata object to store relevant information.

Best Practices When using the custom JavaScript action:

Always secure your API key and never expose it directly in the code. Use descriptive event_name values for easier querying and analytics. Include relevant metadata to provide context for each point issuance. Handle errors gracefully to ensure your Zap doesn’t break unexpectedly.

By leveraging this custom JavaScript action, you can create highly tailored integrations between Absinthe and any platform supported by Zapier, opening up endless possibilities for rewarding user actions across your ecosystem.
