What is your goal?
Hello.
I’m hoping someone can help me with a persistent issue I’m having with data being stripped when sent to a Make webhook.
- The Setup:
I have an opt-in form built in Thrive Architect on WordPress.
The form includes standard fields (Name, Email) and three custom fields: Practice_Type, Monthly_Inquiries, and Biggest_Leak.
Since there’s no direct integration for custom fields between Thrive and Sendy, I’m using a Make scenario with a Webhook trigger and an HTTP module to forward the data to the Sendy API.
- The Problem:
When I submit the form, only the Name and Email data successfully reaches Sendy. The three custom fields are always empty in Sendy (“not set”).
When I inspect the webhook module’s output in Make, I see the request was received, but the data bundle is empty. The headers consistently show “content-length”: “2”.
Here’s a screenshot of the empty webhook data:
Here are the headers from a typical run:
3: What I’ve Investigated & Ruled Out:
Cloudflare: I initially suspected Cloudflare was stripping the data because of the cf-ray headers. However, I’ve confirmed with Cloudflare support that these headers are added by Make.com’s own infrastructure and are normal. The problem is not at my domain’s DNS level.
Server-Side Test: I ran a simple curl test from my server directly to the Make webhook URL. The test was successful, and the output did not contain cf-ray headers, proving my server is not the source of the issue.
Thrive Fields Mapping: In the Thrive form’s webhook settings, I have left the “Fields” (Key/Value) section empty. My understanding is this sends all form fields with their native names (like tve_name, mapping_select_476) to the webhook.
- The Make Scenario:
Module 1: Custom Webhook (receives data from Thrive). The data structure was determined by running the module once and submitting a test form.
Module 2: H TTP Module (makes a POST request). It is in this module’s “Body content” section that I am mapping the fields to the parameter names Sendy expects (e.g., name gets {{tve_name}}, practice_type gets {{mapping_select_476}}).
- My Questions for the Community:
If the data is arriving at the webhook (as evidenced by the headers), why is the bundle/body empty (content-length: 2)? What could cause the data to be stripped after the webhook receives it but before it can be used?
In the HTTP module’s configuration, I am mapping fields using the {{…}} syntax. Is it possible that the data from the webhook is arriving in a nested structure (e.g., an array) that I need to parse differently? If so, how can I check the raw data structure?
Could the issue be related to the “Request format” (JSON vs. Form) in the Thrive webhook settings? I currently have it set to JSON.
Any guidance would be immensely appreciated. I’ve been troubleshooting this for days and have hit a wall.
What is the problem & what have you tried?
Problem:
When my Thrive Architect form submits to my Make webhook, only Name and Email arrive. Three custom fields (Practice_Type, Monthly_Inquiries, Biggest_Leak) are missing. In Make, the webhook module shows empty bundles with content-length: 2. Sendy receives the subscriber but custom fields show “not set.”
What I’ve tried:
Verified Thrive - Make connection - Tested webhook in Thrive; “Webhook sent successfully” confirms connectivity.
Ruled out Cloudflare as cause – Initially suspected cf-ray headers meant my domain was proxied. Moved DNS off Cloudflare, waited 4+ days, confirmed with Cloudflare support my domain is clean. Learned that cf-ray headers are from Make.com’s infrastructure, not my server.
Tested server-side - Ran direct curl from my server to the Make webhook. Request succeeded, no cf-ray headers in output, confirming server isn’t adding them.
Checked Thrive webhook settings – Fields (Key/Value) left empty to send all data raw. Request format: JSON. Method: POST.
Verified field mapping in Make HTTP module – attached screenshot. All custom parameters present.
Confirmed webhook is primed – Clicked “Run once,” submitted test form, but webhook output remains empty.
Still stuck: Webhook receives request (headers visible) but body is empty (content-length: 2). Custom fields never reach Sendy.
