I have created a Zapier Zap with the following steps:
Catch Hook (Trigger): A webhook which catches post requests with a param customer_id
Find Customer (Action): Stripe integration which takes the customer_id parameter from (1) and retrieves the customer from Stripe
The setup works correctly in the Zapier setup flow, however, when I post to the endpoint from (1) I simply get a 200 return from step (1) alone. Instead I want to receive the data as returned by step (2).
Is this possible using Zapier?
You can't get data back directly when sending a webhook to Zapier. You can read this answer for more info, but the idea is that your zap steps happen asynchronously instead of right away.
You can either add a 3rd step to send the result somewhere (perhaps to the server that's making the initial request to Zapier?) or, run a little webserver yourself that can reply to your initial request with the response you expect.

When the call ends, I want to send data to Microsoft teams. For that purpose, I am making a POST request using the Twilio webhook. I have added the link for HTTP request in CALL STATUS CHANGES. But I also want to send data collected during calls. Is there any way to do that?
Article here(https://www.twilio.com/docs/usage/webhooks/voice-webhooks) doesn't mention anything about passing data.
My POST request URI looks something like this:-
https://xyz?Name=Himanshu&Phone=1234567890
I want Name and Phone data to be collected from Memory.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
When Twilio sends a webhook request about a voice call it will send a whole bunch of parameters including CallSid, To, From (the number user called from), AccountSid, CallStatus and more all of which are listed here.
I would not recommend making the Twilio webhook directly to Microsoft Teams as Twilio expects there to be a response to the request. Also, Twilio cannot know the name of your caller either.
Instead, I would recommend setting up the webhook request to go to your own application where you can parse out the data you need from the request, collect other data like name, and then make the request to Teams to complete your interaction.
I have difficult to understand how webooks works. From documentation (https://quire.io/dev/api/#webhook) there is a section about Notification, and so:
"If the app wants to receive notifications of a specific projects or tasks, it can follow the projects or apps by sending a PUT request to the URL. To add a follower, the body of the request can be"
First question: Where should i send the put request?
What i want to do is to send task creation (and edit) on a specific nodejs server (listening over https). I have added my server url to "webhook" section in my app settings.
Second question: If above step is correct, what are the next steps?
Thansk, Nicola
1) the PUT request is sent to the resource you want to follow:
e.g. to follow an existing task you have to update a task using the addFollowers parameter
Four your case you'd have to follow a Project and see filter the notifications are posted to your webhook endpoint.
More detail was given in this duplicate question in github
2) next steps would be to implement your webhook endpoint and listen to notifications.
I'm updating a webapp to Stripes SCA ready flow with PaymentIntent.
So far I have working (on my local test server):
Generate Intent on frontend and pass secret to form
Use Elements to collect card into
Use handleCardPayment to create the charge
Now here's the part where I am unsure. The handleCardPayment responses all seem to indicate a succeeded event, but the documentation warns to not use this repsonse, but instead wait for the Webhook response and only then fulfill customer orders.
Step 5: Asynchronously fulfill the customer’s order
You can use the PaymentIntent returned by Stripe.js to provide
immediate feedback to your customers when the payment completes on the
client. However, your integration should not attempt to handle order
fulfillment on the client side because it is possible for customers to
leave the page after payment is complete but before the fulfillment
process initiates. Instead, you will need to handle asynchronous
events in order to be notified and drive fulfillment when the payment
succeeds. Documentation
So far so good, I've set up test webhooks and tunneling through ngrok I can actually receive the paymentIntent from the Stripe webhook.
Now, my question comes at this point, where the Stripe documentation ends. How should I deal with the UI from the point of the "Pay" button being pressed, and how do I in the frontend detect that the webhook has been triggered?
I am wondering if I should poll my own server, which in turn retrieves a database result that indicated if the webhook for this order has been received? Or what is a reasonable way to deal with this, technically and from an UX perspective?
Any pointers?
I just implemented this, and I decided to poll my own server for the update and ask the user to wait. The webhook marks our internal representation as "paid", so we don't need to poll Stripe. If the webhook doesn't come within 30 seconds, we tell the user that it's ok to leave the page, and we'll email them the result.
Technically, these webhooks can take up to 7 days to come in, so that's why Stripe doesn't want you to have the user wait. In reality, it almost always comes in within 5 seconds, and I would rather just have the user wait and see a final confirmation in the same session.
I've set up a ZAP so that when a subscriber is added to my aweber email list they are automatically added to a product in my membership plugin called DAP or digital access pass.
As per the instructions of the membership plugins developers, I am using a webhook in the zapier 'post' section.
It's not working. Quite simply the webhook doesn't appear to be calling anything.
Now, weird thing is that zapier logs show the webhook has been sent and has had success. But from DAP's end nothing is being received.
The support team at DAP tell me that the script isn't being called, because nothing appears in their logs.
They show me this by putting the webhook URL into a browser and calling it that way, and THEN the relevant info arrives in the DAP logs.
Zapier told me they do not trouble shoot and so advised that I post here.
Would appreciate any help. Thank you very much.

You can easily test if Zapier is making a call or not by sending the request to http://requestb.in
Steps:
Create a request bin and copy the URL.
Request bin screenshot
In Zapier, replace the webhooks post URL with the requestb.in URL.
Now, whenever the Webhook makes a post request, you should be able to visit the inspect page of your bin and check if a request was received. Just add ?inspect to the end of the URL. For example, if your Request bin URL is https://requestb.in/wbto8jwb then you should visit https://requestb.in/wbto8jwb?inspect
The inspect page will show all the requests received.
With this, you will know if Zapier is sending the requests. If the requests are being received by request bin then there is something which needs to be fixed by DAP.
Note that it could also be something in the configuration of the Webhook that is causing the request to not be recognised by DAP. It will help if you add more details to your question - what format is the DAP team expecting to receive the data in?
Below is a sample Webhook implementation in Zapier.
I have added a hook to POST data to a request bin (https://requestb.in/wbto8jwb)

When I test this step, the request is received in the Request Bin Inspect page (https://requestb.in/wbto8jwb?inspect).

Update:
You can also make a direct call to the DAP API by using a tool like https://www.hurl.it/. From the drop down in destination, select POST and put the URL here. Click on Add body and paste the raw data from request bin. Now ask the DAP team to check if the request was received.
I'm trying out few examples in Api.ai console. I see there are examples where the agent responds by using the values that are extracted from the user query or from the context. But is there a way to display response that is formed using the output of the action performed?
For example -
User: Is my pizza order confirmed?
Action: check order status
Response: Yes, it's confirmed (or "No, it's not")
You will have to use some custom webhook to do this, either integrating with a 3rd party API or will a server side call of your own to a database- in this case the webhook would take the user's ID and query if their pizza is ready or not, and this would then be passed back to API.ai.
Here is an example using a 3rd party webhook to do what you are asking:
https://github.com/api-ai/apiai-weather-webhook-sample
Yes you can do this with webhooks.
Typically, you would save the status of the order in your db, then you could have an intent that would:
Understand the query of your user (Is my pizza order confirmed)
The intent would call your webhook
the webhook would return the status order.
Api.ai would then give the answer.
When you use webhooks you need to return the speech response, the displayText, optionally the data that your apps need, the contextOut and the source.
I guess you would also need to have implement some context in api.ai so that you could now who is asking about the satus of the order. You would then be able to use the sessionId
Matt is correct here. You must use a webhook. Unfortunately the documentation from API.AI is currently very poor. Here's a screenshot example of an incoming post request. My message function will return an object with a desired response. In this case, I am using a Telegram chat bot. If you are not using any messenger, you can drop the data key: value. FollowupEvent is also optional.
Node.JS code with Restify
On your API.AI intent, make sure to check off Webhook. If you end getting the text response 'Broken' here, then something went wrong and you should check your error codes.
API.AI intent
And lastly, under the fulfillment tab, make sure to enable the webhook and point it at the right endpoint.
