Question

Webhooks and JSON

I have one of my developers working on an integration with close.io. They currently only accept application/JSON calls to their API. I have set both Request Token Encoding and Response Format to JSON, but it does not seem to be sending the data in JSON format. Is there a workaround for allowing this? If not is there a solution that does not involve us creating an intermediary page to pass along the information encoded in JSON?
 
Thanks.

Luke,

When we built and tested the webhooks, we did not include the "www" in the wsdl URL.  This threw everything off.  It is worth a try, after we added this, the JSON data came through without an error.

Hi Rodney,

I am not sure I understand 100%. When I use the webhook to send to a third party, I need it to go out with the header of "content-type: application/JSON" instead of "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" because this third party require json as the content type. I have chosen JSON in both drop downs, but it still seems to send as form-urlencoded.  Any ideas on this?

Thanks.

Old thread but figured I'd respond in case anyone stumbled across - there is another post that describes the simple solution for this:

Re: webhook does not permit the json type in template - body of post

All you need to do is go to Webhook Actions > Set Custom Header, then add the pair: Content-Type, application/json.
