Question

Send boolean values in webhook data

Hi!

I need to send a Webhook POST request with JSON payload to trigger a push notification. I have everything set up and working fine EXCEPT that I struggle to send boolean values to the notifications endpoint.

Seams that you only send string values in the data fields?

e.g. I need to send:

{
  "title": {
    "de": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet",
    "fr": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"
  },
  "content": {
    "de": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet",
    "fr": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"
  },
  "url": {
    "de": "https://www.google.com",
    "fr": "https://www.google.com"
  },
  "skipPushNotification": false
}

but zapier seems to send (check the “skipPushNotification”):

{
  "title": {
    "de": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet",
    "fr": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"
  },
  "content": {
    "de": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet",
    "fr": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"
  },
  "url": {
    "de": "https://www.google.com",
    "fr": "https://www.google.com"
  },
  "skipPushNotification": "false"
}

Here is my setup:

I found this post from ~2 years:

 

Do I really need to switch to a custom request for this?

Thank you very much

Hi @polygonwindow 

Good question.

Yes, it would be worth trying to use the Webhook Custom Request approach.
