Can pass trigger token with webhook?

I am not well versed with webhooks, asking on behalf of a dev, can you pass trigger tokens like {{trigger.subject}} with webhooks?

Thank you!

    Well, you can't create correct JSON like that. The string field (the {[trigger.token}}) is going to be JSON-encoded, then you have it inside another JSON string = broken JSON.

    Another workaround I have found useful is to use the {{campaign.description}} token in webhooks so that the same webhook can be used for different smart campaigns but have different payloads or be sent to different endpoints by editing the description of the campaign sending the webhook

    I mean yeah... but a {{my.token}} for that would be less disruptive, allowing the Description to be used for its original purpose.

    What if you have multiple campaigns within a single program then a {{my.token}} won't work if you want to use a single webhook?
