Webhook not collecting any data

(Chris Bampton) #1

Hello, I am triggering a webhook from Typeform, the trigger is logging a transaction but the data packet is empty. I have tested with Zapier and the data packet is complete - so I am struggling to know what to do - has anyone else worked successfully with Typeform?

The data payload received by Zapier is

Hi Chris,

When you first add your webhook trigger, you are asked to send a test request to it. This test should at least contain all the parameters that you should expect the trigger to receive or possibly include test data as well.

It’s this first request that sets the outputs that you’ll have available for trigger.

Hi Kellsey, The first trigger contains all of the information that is in the trigger below for Zapier, it’s just that Flowxo is ignoring the data and logging the fact that it has triggered as in the screenshot…

The answer is this: In typeform the ‘Test Webhook’ is no use. DONT USE IT!! It’s ok for testing the connection and does generate a 200 code but it sends an empty payload, not sample data of every field completed - thus Flow does not get a meaningful sample payload. The answer is to test the connection by completing a form manually and trigger the webhook with a full payload and then Flow does it’s stuff fine… so it’s a typeform testing vs Flow requirement mismatch.

Hope that helps someone

Thanks for your input Kellsey.

Hi Chris,

That’s very useful to know about Type Form :thumbsup: Not very useful sending an empty payload, though :thumbsdown:

Glad you got it sorted :slight_smile:
