Obtain a JSON through webhook and make an HTTP request with it

How To
1

I want to send a JSON from a webhook in Glide to Make and make a HTTP request with it. The JSON is different every time.

I currently have a webhook in Glide where I send a JSON, it looks like this:

Following the steps in this response, I set the Webhook “JSON Pass-through” to YES:

However, the output of the webhook call has the name of the variable I put (right now is called JSON):

and to be able to do my HTTTP request, it shouldn’t have that name there.

I tried not naming the variable, but, reasonably, I get an empty response.

The start of my JSON should be like this:

Welcome to the Make community!

Then you shouldn’t be using JSON, but RAW or PLAIN or TEXT formats.

Check if the external service has that option.

I am using Glide and this is the only thing I have when using a webhook:

Isn’t there a way to modify the string in Make so I can take out that part?

Well you could turn JSON pass-through back to NO, and then map a sub-field back into JSON with the Transform to JSON module.

I found a solution!

I put my JSON as a string between these characters ‘<’, ‘>’:

Then I took them off in Make with two Text Parsers, created a variable and send it through a HTTP request:

and it worked :slight_smile:

Oh! If you can do this hack of a workaround then you don’t even need the middle three modules.

Then you can use the built-in replace function directly in the HTTP module:

{{ replace(1.value; "/(^<|>$)/g"; emptystring) }}
