How to Fix Empty Field Errors in Zapier Webhook API

Ross Riddleston · 2025-08-14 04:27:27.105951+00

I have created an HTTP API webhook to send to Zapier. However some of the fields will be empty. When I go to send it doesn't run saying "some inputs missing." Is there an easy way to ignore empty fields? (I'm not very technical) Thanks.

Yes! There's an easy solution for this. In your HTTP API enrichment settings, look for the option called "Remove null & undefined values" and toggle it on. This setting will automatically remove any fields that are empty, null, or undefined from your request, preventing the "some inputs missing" error when sending to Zapier. You'll find this toggle in Step 5 of your HTTP API configuration - it's specifically designed to help prevent sending blank values that could cause errors.

Actually, you'll want to turn the toggle ON, not off. The "Remove null & undefined values" toggle should be enabled to automatically remove empty fields from your request, which will prevent the "some inputs missing" error when sending to Zapier. This toggle is specifically designed to help prevent sending blank values that could cause errors.

great that works. When toggled off does that mean ignore if empty? Is this same for using AI requests as I'm always getting empty values errors?

When toggle is on it means this specific value is required from the input and can not be empty. When its off it means this value is optional, if there is a value it will use it otherwise it will ignore it (if its empty)

Thankyou. No I didn't work it out - I've used a webhook to zapier and used that to update the notes. Couldn't see an easy no code way to use that API. every example i saw looksed pretty complex.
