The Purpose
Use a Zap (JavaScript) Code step to fire a webhook using a HTTP POST request that includes headers and parameters.
How to Configure
NOTE: This example would fire a webhook to trigger a Zap that has a Webhooks (Catch Hook) trigger step.
Copy the Code
let Timestamp = new Date().toISOString(); // creates a Timestamp
let Webhook = inputData.Webhook.trim();
let Method = inputData.Method.trim();
// creates the JSON Object to send with the key/value pairs
let JSONObject = {
"Timestamp": Timestamp,
"Test": "True",
"Event": "A1",
"Properties": {
"NameFirst": "123",
"NameLast": "ABC",
"Email": "test@tester.com",
"Phone": "555-666-7777"
}
}
// creates the Method, Headers, and Body of the HTTP POST Request
let Options = {
method: Method,
headers: {
'Accept': 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify(JSONObject)
}
const Request = await fetch(Webhook, Options); // HTTP POST Request
const Response = await Request.json(); // HTTP POST Response
output = {Response, Request, Webhook, Method, Timestamp}
The Results
NOTE: You can also use the Webhooks app to do this.
