Question

Send 'body' instead of 'data' - POST Webhook

Hi All,

I have created a zap to send new leads from Fb to custom platform and as an action have chosen POST Webhook by Zapier. It looks pretty easy to use it but I still got issue “Status Code 400 Bad Request”:


Here is the zap config:
 


The url and auth headers are removed for showing example ;) but I am 100% sure that they are correct.

The only data field can cause the issue. In the docs of this custom platform I see that the “body” is required but in zap I found only “data” field. 

Is there any chance to find how Zapier sends my request?
Is it possible to declare body field not data?

Thanks for any tips!
Radek

    Hi @radek_t 

    Good question.

    Please link to the API endpoint documentation that you are trying to use.

    Hi @Troy Tessalone,

    Unfortunately I can not share the link - API docs is locked only for users - but I can paste a pic. Here you are:
     

     
    I think to change zap from “POST webhooks by Zapier” to “Run Javascript in Code by Zapier” and put fetch() function there. Is a good idea?

    @radek_t 

    Try wrapping all the contents in Data with “body” : {  }
