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.

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 would like to 'export' data out of ActiveCollab into another 3rd party tool (Helix ALM), but I'm confused about how webhooks function. Do webhooks execute a POST when changes are made in ActiveCollab, or are they executed by the 3rd party app and Activecollab returns the information that is requested in them? I'm trying to understand if ActiveCollab is 'pushing' data when changes are made, or if the data is being requested by 3rd party app. If AC is pushing data out, does it do so when ANY change is made or can it be configured to POST on specific/configurable changes?
I have reviewed the webhooks documentation but I'm unclear on the intended functionality.
https://activecollab.com/help/books/my-active-collab/webhooks
ActiveCollab sends out POST requests on relevant model events. These events are JSON encoded, and system will set User-Agent header to Active Collab when making a request.
No filtering for custom webhooks is currently available. You'll receive all webhooks, and you should filter them out on your end. Each webhook has event_type property set that you can use to find events that you are interested in.
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.

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 writing a mobile notification system using twilio in node.js and I am currently able to send SMS messages to users. But I would like users to reply back with a response. I would need to gather the phone number the user sent the text from as well as the contents of the message (to query my mongoosedb)
I couldn't find much info on this so any help is appreciated.

Check out this blog post which introduces you to our Node helper. If you scroll down to the section titled "Generating TwiML to handle inbound calls and SMS", it will walk you through receiving an SMS message from Twilio.
The basic idea is that when your user replies to your message, Twilio is going to tell you that by making an HTTP request to some URL that you have configured for your Twilio phone number. That URL is some endpoint that you have created in your Node app.
As part of that request, Twilio is going to pass some form parameters to you. In your going to use the request object that is passed into the POST function to get the parameters that Twilio passes you:
console.log(request.body.from);
console.log(request.body.to);
Heave over to this page on our website to see all of the parameters Twilio will send you when we
Hope that helps.
