I’m trying to have an alert pop up on my live stream when i get a new patreon member. I keep getting this error message below and have no clue how to resolve it. Anyone know what i’m doing wrong here?

The error you're encountering is likely due to the fact that the data being referenced in your webhook's input fields is not being passed correctly from the previous step. Specifically, the placeholders like {{=gives["337202215"]["user"]["full_name"]}} and {{=gives["337202215"]["tiers[]title"]}} indicate that the expected data from the previous step is missing or incorrectly formatted.

Hey ​@Troy Tessalone 

I put a screenshot up with those details just now. As for the error, it says (along with the AI message i copy/pasted above):

Failed to create a request in Webhooks by Zapier

The app returned "Error".

What is the link to the app API endpoint documentation you referenced to configure the API request? (url)

 

NOTE: Looks like you have an extra line break in your URL field (see screenshot below)

i removed the extra line break, but I get the same error still. 

 

I think this is the link you’re asking for?

@dcorey 

The link you provided is for the general app API documentation.

Link to the specific API endpoint documentation you used to configure the API request for that URL.
