Frequently asked questions about Zapier + Guru
What permissions do I need to create a Zap?
Zapier access aligns with your Guru role and permission levels. A 403 error usually means you're authenticated but do not have access to that specific endpoint.Learn more about Guru roles.
Why doesnโt the Card Archived trigger show folder ID?
Archived Cards no longer retain folder information, so Zapier cannot provide folder ID when this trigger is activated.
Can I pull comment content from the Card Comment Trigger?
Not currently. The Card Comment content is not available via this trigger.
Can I trigger an action when a tag is added to a Card?
You can use Zapier Filter Rules on the Card Created trigger to check for specific tags. This will not apply to tags added after Card creation.
Workato
Access RequiredOnly Admins or users with developer permissions can install the connector.
