1. Enable pagination
- Log into the Platform UI.
- Select your integration.
- In the Build section in the left sidebar, click on the trigger that should power the dynamic dropdown field. This can be an existing trigger or a new trigger you set as Hidden if its only purpose is to power the dynamic dropdown.
- Go to the API Configuration tab
- In the Configure your API Request section, select the Support Paging checkbox, which should only be applied to triggers built to power dynamic dropdown menus. This enables Zapier’s
bundle.meta.page
value which tracks the pages Zapier has loaded, along with a Load more option in the user-facing Zapier editor’s dropdown menus.

- In the API Endpoint section, click Show Options to include
bundle.meta.page
in your API call as Zapier does not include that automatically, then add a new URL Param for your API’s paging option (or optionally add it to your HTTP Headers if your API expects the paging value there). Use the page request field name from your API on the left, and{{bundle.meta.page}}
on the right to have Zapier pull in the correct page value.

bundle.meta.page
value uses zero-based numbering. The first time Zapier fetches data from your API, it uses a page value of 0, followed by 1 the second time, and so on. If your API expects the first API call to request page 1, with 2 for the second page and so on, you’ll need to switch to code mode and add + 1
to bundle.meta.page
. So pagination in the code would look like the below (substituting page
with the correct field name your API uses for pagination):
'page': bundle.meta.page + 1

- Test the API Request in the Platform UI and check the HTTP tab to see the request Zapier sent your app. Zapier should show a
page=0
value (or the correct term for pages in your API) under the Request Params header by default, orpage=1
if you’re customizing the page requests to start at 1.

2. Test pagination
To test your paginating trigger:- Build an action in the Platform UI that uses this trigger in a dynamic dropdown.

- Make a new Zap in the user-facing Zap editor that uses your action with the dynamic dropdown field. Click the dropdown field, scroll to the end, and click the Load More button. Repeat until it loads the last options, which will show a We couldn’t find any more choices prompt.
