Run Once with same data

How To

Hey everyone!

I’m trying to avoid constantly going into Notion (or any other program) just to trigger a webhook whenever I set up a new automation. Manually reproducing the trigger every time is super time-consuming.

I came across a clever workaround in this YouTube video (0:43 - 2:59) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJZkq1qmLVM&t=186s

using Parse JSON instead of relying on the original trigger source.

However, when I tried applying it, it didn’t work, and I can’t figure out why. Just error

Here’s a recording of my setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GD06HvJHBEk

Any ideas on what might be going wrong? Would really appreciate any insights!

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Samy0711

You have to map values from parse json module, replacing the values mapped from webhook.

Unfortunately I don’t know how to realise your advice on my setup. Could you give me a more detailed description? I would really appreciate it :pray:

The JSON file I put in the first block “Parse JSON” is the same what the webhook gives out. After it parsed the JSON nothing should change because it is already in JSON format and give it to Notion. I don’t get why now he doesn’t like the format anymore…

Also open for any other solution/workflow for running with the same data again

Hi @Samy0711

You are getting an error because you disconnected the webhook module from the scenario which is the source of the mappings in othe rmodules and filters.

So whereevr you have done the amppings from webhook module, now it will take them as a dead variable because the module you used is disconnected. Hence, the rest of the workflow doesn’t recognize the module mappings anymore.

To test json, you do not need to disconnect webhook, you can just click right on “parse json” module and select “run this module only”.

If you want to test the complete scenario with json, then:

  1. one way is to change the values from json module wherever you mapped from webhook. This will require to run json module once.

  2. other way and most efficient way is:
    open any other or new scenario > add a http “make a request” module > add webhook url in http module > select method to “POST” > copy the json in body > and run that module.

Whenever you will run http module. It will automatically trigger webhook and run your automation.
