I am trying to work with Zapier to return data back into my retool app, but not sure how to handle the return post.
I am working with an online application that only connects via Zapier. Through Zapier, I can get data for a file and I want to display this data back in retool.
The workflow looks like this - I have an "ID" field that the user will fill in and then a "Get Data" button.
When clicked, the get data button will post to a zapier webhook and it will pass the ID.
This first part is working with no issues, posting to a webhook URL via a retool query is straight forward.
In zapier, here is what my flow looks like:
Step 1. Catch Webhook works with no issues
In Step 2, I use the ID that was passed to retrieve the specific data that I want.
Now in Step 3, my goal is to push this data back to the retool app for the user to see. The fields returned will be mapped to retool fields and the user can essentially get and view the data from this app.
I am stuck on step 3, how do I post data back to the retool app? When calling the original webhook to start this flow, I get the success response that the webhook was posted to zapier, but of course I don't get the file data as this occurs in a later step.
I was thinking to somehow fire another webhook from Zapier to Retool with the loan data as the payload, but not sure how I would catch that and display the results in my app.
Any ideas on a simple solution here?
Please note - the app in the middle can only be accessed through Zapier, so that is why I am going through Zapier to get this data. There is no public/open API at the moment.
Thanks!
