I'm working on a collaborative Stacker app. Not knowing which user clicked the action button is a major limitation.

I wrote a script to do this, and Stacker support was willing to implement it for me. Instead of a Stacker button triggering a zap I have the button simply updating a record in a table with a default value and show nothing to the end user. I then hijack the button with some JS

document.body.addEventListener('click', function(event) {

// Check if the clicked element has the specific class

if (event.target.classList.contains('THE CLASS OF YOUR BUTTON')) {

handleClick(event.target);

}

});

const handleClick = function(buttonElement) {

// Retrieve the user object from localStorage

const userString = localStorage.getItem('user');

const user = JSON.parse(userString);

// Extract the email address

const userEmail = user.email;

// Get the current URL, For my purposes I also wanted the URL so I could easily get the RECORD ID to use in my zap to looking the corresponding record in airtable for the thing my user was viewing.

const currentUrl = window.location.href;

// ZAPIER Webhook URL - Customize the url as needed

const webhookUrl = 'https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/YOUR-WEBHOOK-HERE';

// Payload to be sent - including the email and current URL

const data = {

email: userEmail, //Include logged in user email

url: currentUrl // Include current URL

};

// Send the webhook using fetch API

fetch(webhookUrl, {

method: 'POST',

body: JSON.stringify(data)

})

.then(response => response.json())

.then(data => {

console.log('Success:', data);

// Handle success - maybe show a confirmation message

})

.catch((error) => {

console.error('Error:', error);

// Handle error - show an error message

});

After all of that worked I refactored my code to do a myriad of other things. Obviously this is not the most ideal thing in the world but it does work.

This simple feature would open a large range of possibilities in terms of automated workflows that can be created.
