Hello:
I am trying to use a webhook to call a REST API.
I am having a hard time getting my webhook to work.
I have to pass in a combination of parameters that came from the form and some parameters that I have to pass in that are not in marketo.
Possibly making a mistake in 3 places :
1. Payload template : Is there an example of a payload that I can look at so that I can format it correctly?
Tried this and am not sure it works
{ "PRODUCT": {{myproduct}} ,
"COUNTRY": {{lead.Company Name}},
"COMPANY_NAME": {{lead.Country Name}},
"EMAIL": {{lead.Email Address}}
}
2. Request Token Encoding :
I dont know what this should be
When I use a REST Client I set it to
application/x-/www.-form-urlencoded
3 Getting the response in XML
I am trying to map it to marketo fields I created : which I think will work
Any help on 1 & 2 will be appreciated.
thanks!
Anand
Well, what do you think that payload format is?
It isn't proper JSON because the values aren't quoted, and it certainly isn't proper WWW-Form-URL-Encoded (FUE). It looks like a regular JavaScript object. I don't recommend that transport format unless you know what you're doing and why.
I would recommend you leave #2 (Request Token Encoding) at URL-encoded and make the payload a URL-encoded string of values (just like in a query string) unless you have a clear reason to receive JSON on your server.
There is a great ebook from RingLead on how to structure webhooks. Maybe it's not quite what you mean here, but worth a look.
