Make Academy Help/MA_C05_U04

What are you trying to achieve?

I’m currently working on the final unit of the Make Academy Course and am running into an issue with Unit 4 – Webhook Response, specifically in Part 2: Route 2 (wrong authentication).

I’ve followed all the instructions to build the scenario and am testing it using Postman. According to the course, under Authorization > Basic Auth, I’ve entered username: lucas and password: verySecret, and I should be receiving a 200 OK (Accepted) response. However, I’m getting a 401 Unauthorized instead.

I’ve attached a screenshot of my Postman setup for reference. Despite entering the correct details as per the instructions, the scenario doesn’t seem to respond, and this is also affecting the later parts of the unit.

Would someone be able to help take a look and advise what might be going wrong? I’d really appreciate any help—thank you so much!

Steps taken so far

I’ve rebuilt the scenario twice to make sure I wasn’t making any mistakes, but I’m still encountering the same issue—getting a 401 Unauthorized error on all routes, even though I’ve followed the instructions carefully.

Welcome to the Make community!

We’d love to help, however, you have not provided sufficient information to demonstrate the problem that would allow us to reproduce the scenario and any issue/s and/or error/s.

To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:

1. All Relevant Screenshots

We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. Screenshots are extremely important because Make is a visual editor — a picture provides us with more context.

It would help us identify the issue by having screenshots of:

  • the full scenario,
  • any error messages,
  • individual module fields,
  • relevant filter settings (conditions), and
  • each module’s output bundles
  • any external services (spreadsheet headers, sample data, regex101.com, etc.)

2. Scenario Blueprint

Please export the scenario blueprint. Providing your scenario blueprint file will allow others to quickly recreate and see how you have set up the mappings in each module, and also allows us take screenshots or provide module exports of any solutions we have for you in return - this would greatly benefit you in implementing our suggestions as you can simply paste module exports back into your scenario editor!

To export your scenario blueprint, click the three dots at the bottom of the editor then choose ‘Export Blueprint’.

3. Module Output Bundles

Please provide the output bundles of each of the relevant modules by running the scenario (you can also get this without re-running your scenario from the History tab).

Click on the white speech bubbles on the top-right of each module and select “Download input/output bundles”.

A. Upload as a Text File

Save each bundle contents in a plain text editor (without formatting) as a bundle.txt file.

You can upload the file here by clicking on this button:

B. Insert as Formatted Code Block

If you are unable to upload files on this forum, alternatively you can paste the formatted bundles.

To provide code/text using Markdown format, you can type a code fence.
Add three backticks ``` in a separate line before and after the content, like this,

```
text goes here
```

Alternatively, you can upload your file and share the public link** —
(this method is only recommended for large files exceeding the forum upload limit)

Providing the input/output bundles will allow others to replicate what is going on in the scenario, especially if there are complex data structures (nested arrays and collections) or if external services are involved, and help you with mapping the raw property names from collections.

Sharing these details will make it easier for others to assist you.
