GET in Webhooks by Zapier, Query String Params not sending with the request

Question

I’m trying to send a GET request to index records that match a certain criteria. I can send the request, but for whatever reason I cannot get the additional parameters to work so that I can filter the results. Here’s the API documentation: https://populi.co/api/?shell#index-18

I’m trying to send an index request that only returns applications at 100% completion. Here’s the action in Zapier:

I’ve tried adding the string the the end of the URL but that doesn’t work either: https://wMYDOMAIN].populiweb.com/api2/applications /?application_form/100

I’ve also tried the same thing in Make and Postman and can’t get it to work, so I’m sure it’s something I’m doing wrong. Interestingly, if I send that URL in my browser I can see in the API logs that the request parameters were correctly identified, which doesn’t happen when I send the URL in Zapier.

Looks like the API expects the filter data as an object sent in the body of the HTTP request, not as URL query parameters. Try doing a “Custom Request” in Webhooks by Zapier instead of a “Get Request” and set it up as follows. Unfortunately, I can’t test on my end since I don’t have a Populi tester account, but I think that should work (or at least get you closer).

Here’s the JSON to use in the “Data” section:

{
    "filter": {
        "0": {
            "logic": "ALL",
            "fields":  
                {"name": "percent_completed", "value": 100, "positive": 1}
            ]
        }
    }
}
