Problem with Zapier APIs extracting Address REGION codes, and inability to set REGION during Create or Update Contact Zap

API Q&A
4

I agree with this 100%. I’ve had the same issues and Zapier is fully aware of the problem but has not updated the App nor mentioned it as a known issue in forums. I’ve spoken to other Keap members and have received similar issues with this.

I extensively tested the issue and reached out to the Keap Community for help.

Since I’ve heard from other Keap Users having this issue, it seems like this is something bigger than I can solve alone. Honestly, this is an active ticket for both Keap API Engineers and Zap Developers. However, I haven’t seen any updates or resolutions on this matter from either of the providers.

Here are my findings on where the errors occur:

  1. JavaScript lookup and replace ( Assistance from Paul Solok)
  2. Zapier Email Parser to new App directly
  3. WPForms with new Zapier App
  4. Gravity Forms with new Zapier App
  5. Google Sheet Lookup Table - Changing the form to a dropdown with the Alpha-2 codes for the region and the Alpha-3 codes for the Country (The test run didn’t work, and I was still working on a massive Alpha-2 code list as there isn’t one pre-made for all of what we need.)
  6. If you enter the full state name and country name, you will get the same error: the Billing Region Code is missing.
  7. Keap native Form—I tried to use this form, but it doesn’t have the best Spam filter.
  8. Keap Developer App - Direct API Connector - Still had the Billing Region Code Missing Error.

The full thread regarding this issue, which initially appeared in 2017, was resolved and resurfaced within the past few months. It could be a consequence, but Keap is also making many updates to bring Keap Ultimate to the fold. Invalid country code and region - What IS valid? - #5 by Ming_Zhang

I’ve tried to either create a workaround or fix any error I may have had, but to no avail. Before finding your response, I posted to the Keap Community Groups, GitHub and the Keap Developer Forums to try and find answers. This seems to be an old issue once resolved, but has resurface since updates started.

I’ll continue to share more information if I receive any feedback. Thank you for posting this as I thought I was maybe the only one experiencing these errors.
