webhook POST - JSON formatting problem

Question

Hi There,

creating the POST below of an order in postman works.

{
"@priority": 1,
"Order": {
"Content": {
"CustomerReference": "test order nummer",
"Items": {
"Item": [
{
"Sku": "1",
"Quantity": 1
},
]

}
}

Now i try to replicate this in a Zapier WEBHOOK, but get 400 errors all the time, What am i don’t wrong?

What is the syntax i need to use?

PAYLOAD TYPE: JSON

@priority 1

Order_Content_CustomerReference test order nummer

OR

“@priority”. 1

“Order”

“Content”

“CustomerReference" test order number

????

I really don’t know anymore.

Does anyone have some insights about the formatting?

Kind regards Martijn

Hi Martijnc,

Tim here from Zapier support. I took a look at your JSON for the request, and while some parts are possible to set up in a POST Webhooks by Zapier action, some parts, like the array of objects in “Item” are not.

For the nested parts that are possible, you could do this:

“Order__Content__CustomerReference": "test order number"

The double underscores denote the nesting.

To get the whole thing working, I’d recommend using a Custom Request Webhooks by Zapier Action instead. It’s a little less forgiving to set up and use, but you can define the exact JSON structure you want. It would probably end up looking something like this:
