I am trying to send data via webhooks and I have configured all the data fields in the Zap. However, I am unable to configure the basic authentication details. These are the instructions 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: XXXXXXXX
Password: XXXXXXXXX

 

Can anyone share on how do I configure this in the webhook?

Hi there, ​@SygZap 👋

Not sure if you’ve already got this sorted, but if not—you can add basic authentication details within the Basic Auth and Headers sections of the Webhooks action:

Check out our Send webhooks in Zaps guide to learn more about how to send webhooks via a Zap.

If that doesn’t work or you’re seeing errors, could you share a link to the API documentation you’re using? That’ll help us better understand what the app you’re connecting to requires. Make sure to blur/remove any personal info (names, emails, passwords etc.) before sharing—you can use a tool like Zappy for that.

Looking forward to hearing from you! 🙂

Hey ​@SygZap, just checking in—how are things coming along?

Were you able to get it sorted, or did you get stuck at all?
