I am trying to send data via webhooks. I've configured the field and data to be sent, however, I am facing an issue in including the Basic Authentication. These are the instructions that I received.

Authentication
The API uses BASIC AUTHENTICATION method, it is necessary to add a header including the authentication information here are some examples:
Sending Authenticated Requests Using JavaScript:
If you are using a client-side JavaScript framework, such as jQuery, to interact remotely with our API enabled, you can send the authorization headers in an AJAX request.
In JavaScript and many other languages, the Basic authentication requires sending the username and password Base64 encoded.
Username:
Password:

Can you tell me the steps to follow to configure the basic authentication in the zap?

Hi ​@SygZap 

Try using the “Basic Auth” field in the Webhooks Zap app step configuration. (screenshot)
