Hey guys,

I am looking to create a zap that is triggered when a user is buying an ecommerce item in my webflow site and trigger an http post request.

The thing is, in the URL i need to have an api private key.

Is it safe to use it this way? Is the weebhook url secured and not exposed?

 

Thanks a lot,

DuoDiv

Hi @DuoDiv

Good question.

The Webhooks app can handle API Keys/Tokens in Headers, query string parameters, or body parameters.

 

Basic Auth is also supported.

Hi @Troy Tessalone, thanks for the reply,

Yes i know, but this is not what i need. The Webhook url contain my key.

Like: https://blabla.blabla.com/api/v2/API_KEY

Is it safe to put my private key in the webhook url?

Yes, that’s supported.

The API request is not being sent via a browser.

Hey mate :)

is there a way to add data to the request from a form submition that is submited during the checkout?

for example data from the checkout itself?

That would have to be configured on the app that is making the webhook request.

The data points would need to be available on the Webflow New Order trigger data in order to map to other Zap action steps.
