Using the Webhook Step in a Workflow

The Webhook step in a workflow allows you to send data to an external URL in real-time. This is useful if you need to trigger a third-party API in response to an event in your workflow.

To use the Webhook step, you first need to specify the URL to which you want to send the data. You can also specify any headers that need to be sent with the request. The Webhook step will then make an HTTP POST request to the specified URL, sending the data in the request body.

You can specify the data to send in the body of the request using Mustache template syntax. This allows you to insert values from the workflow data into the request body. For example, you could insert the value of a field called “name” into the request body like this:

{{name}}

You can also insert values from other steps in the workflow using the “steps” object. For example, if you have a previous step in the workflow that sets a field called “email”, you could insert the value of that field into the request body like this:

{{steps.setEmail.data.email}}

The Webhook step also allows you to specify a JSONPath expression to extract data from the response body. This can be useful if you need to use data from the response in subsequent steps in the workflow.

For example, suppose you make a request to an external API that returns a JSON response. You could use a JSONPath expression to extract the value of a field called “id” from the response body like this:

$.id

You can then use the “id” field in subsequent steps in the workflow.

The Webhook step is a powerful tool that can be used to trigger third-party APIs in response to events in your workflow. By specifying the URL, headers, and request body using Mustache template syntax, you can insert values from the workflow data into the request. You can also use JSONPath expressions to extract data from the response body.
