General Questions/New to Joomla! 4.x • Investigation and Request for Resolution on Potential Bugs in Joomla Core APIs

Hello everyone,

I am using Joomla 4.x and automating article creation through Zapier's Webhooks. However, I am facing the following technical issues and am seeking solutions.

Detailed Problem Description:
Zapier's webhook sends POST requests to [Document Root Path]/api/index.php/v1/content/articles, which are processed by Joomla Core APIs. Although articles are created, they do not appear in Joomla's backend, and the following error messages are reported each time.

• Error mail from the server: "Unhandled exception - Joomla\CMS\MVC\Controller\Exception\Save" with the error details "Exception Type: Joomla\CMS\MVC\Controller\Exception\Save
  File: /home/XXXX/public_html/libraries/src/MVC/Controller/ApiController.php
  Line: 452
  Message: Save failed with the following error: Error loading menu: api"

• Alert mail from Zapier: "[ALERT] Possible error on your PDF Upload Zap!" with the error details "Save failed with the following error: Error loading menu: api (HTTP Status Code: 500)"

My investigations suggest that the root cause might be the insufficient data insertion into the #__workflow_associations table. I suspect this could be a bug in the Joomla Core APIs, and I am currently manually correcting the table as a temporary measure.

Questions:

• Have other users experienced similar issues? (Thanks for the report, snkai!)

• Is the development team aware of this problem, and are there any planned fixes or workarounds?

I would appreciate hearing about your experiences or suggestions. Resolving this issue will require the community's effort. Thank you for your cooperation.
