So, with my limited scripting and Java skills I've been trying to set up a script that will call a webhook so I can later trigger something there. I managed to set up the basic ping but I came across the ideal of sending some record ID's I need which can save me a step later on.

My error is surrounding inputConfig and how to parse it into the JSON body (I guess?)

The error most likely lies in line 4 and 5, hopefully it's understandable what I'm trying to get done. For line 4 and 5 I also tried "" but that simply sends over the whole thing and not the input I setup in the script (picture attached below)

 

let inputConfig = input.config();

let body = {

"ping": "Survey Ping",

"company_id":${inputConfig.contact_id},

"contact_id":${inputConfig.company_id}

}

let response = await fetch('https://n8n.joinowners.co/webhook-test/tally-onboardinglaunch-survey', {

method: 'POST',

body: JSON.stringify(body),

headers: {

"Content-Type": "application/json",

"Accept": "application/json",

},

});

console.log(await response.json());

 

 

Hey @Manuel-Tanco! 

Give this a shot:

 

const config = input.config();

const { company_id, contact_id } = config;



const body = {

ping: "Survey Ping",

company_id: company_id,

contact_id: contact_id

};



const url = "https://n8n.joinowners.co/webhook-test/tally-onboardinglaunch-survey";

const options = {

method: "POST",

headers: {

"Content-Type": "application/json",

"Accept": "application/json"

},

body: JSON.stringify(body)

};



let data = await fetch(url, options)

.then(response => {

console.log(response);

return response.json();

});



console.log(data)

 

As some additional insight into why your original script wasn't working, you were trying to insert the values of inputConfig.contact_id and inputConfig.company_id using template literals, but you forgot to properly enclose the values inside of backticks. So you'd switch it from this:

let body = {

"ping": "Survey Ping",

"company_id": ${inputConfig.contact_id},

"contact_id": ${inputConfig.company_id}

}

To this:

let body = {

"ping": "Survey Ping",

"company_id": `${inputConfig.contact_id}`,

"contact_id": `${inputConfig.company_id}`

}

You actually don't have to do this at all. You can actually just simply invoke the properties without enclosing them inside of the template literals like this:

 

let body = {

"ping": "Survey Ping",

"company_id": inputConfig.contact_id,

"contact_id": inputConfig.company_id

}

Okay understood, I was having a hard time trying to get synced with the correct way of writing it down. Thank you @Ben_Young1 !
