Webhook settings
Webhook settings have 3 configuration settings
- Configuring the header to be sent along with the API
- Setting the Fail-safe message
- Creating the variables
Let’s understand them:
Configuring the header
For configuring the header, you need 2 things
- Header key
- Header value
Add these to their respective placeholders, as shown below.
Once you have added them, click on “Add Header” to save the changes. You can even delete this by clicking on the red cross as shown in the above screenshot.
Setting the Fail-safe message
To set the fail-safe message, just click on the fail-safe message place holder and start editing the already existing message.
Creating the variables
- First, add the variable name in the variable name placeholder.
- Then select the block type for which you want to create the variable from the dropdown.
- Lastly, click click on “Add API Response.”
- Once this is added, you can use webhook blocks to power the regular blocks available in the recipe builder
- Question block, button block, slider block, list block, catalogue block
