Access value of a webhook that has been POST to xano API.

Tim

It all sounds unbelievebly simple doesn't it.

I've watch a few tutorials and gone through the docs.

But in my webhook i don't get any variable i just get a big json object.

For example in the tutorials you guys make it super simple and your webhook has

data {
email: "value"
etc.etc.
}


My webhook i just get a JSON object how can i store the whole thing as a variable or something?

Because right now i need to access the id in the webhook and i've got no idea.




Any help woule be greatly appreciated.

You have to use dot notation like data.id or data.name to access the values. 

Remember JSON is a text "object" (a string really) that can contain just about anything including arrays.  "Objects" are noted in {curly braces} and arrays in [brackets]. It helps to know a little about JavaScript to understand the notation. 

There are a host of data manipulations available in the API function stack (revealed when you add anything to your function stack).  It's a bit overwhelming at first but stay with it.  It gets easier.

In one of the videos there is a mention of webhooks.site  

It offers a URL that redirects form submissions (from your front end) to that site where you can see what the JSON looks like formatted and unformatted.  Helpful.

Remove the input object and use the Utility Function Get All Input (Webhook).[Captura de Tela 2022-04-19 às 14.58.07.png]
