Question

Trying to send a webhook upon an RSS feed update

Good evening,

 

I am trying to send a message to Discord via webhook when the RSS feed updates with new content but I keep getting invalid JSON content.

I simply just want to post a subject from the RSS feed and the body.

 

Anyone had any issues doing this?

Can you link to the API endpoint documentation you are referencing to configure the webhook request?

I do not have manager server permission on this Discord hence the need to use a webhook.

Why not try to use this Discord action to Send Channel Message?

@Troy Tessalone 

When using POSTMAN, I can get the message to appear in Discord just fine? I simply just want that message to appear in Discord but Zapier seems to be blocking it or not accepting it for some reason..

This is the error that Zapier spits out when trying to test it.

Hi Troy,


Apologies, I am very new to this, just trying to get a simple message sent for now.

Removed the webhook for obvious reasons.
