🟣Webhook
The Webhook block is a Trigger block. It allows you to launch an automation scenario. Information is sent to it in real-time in the form of several components, and you can automatically receive information in return by connecting the Write block at the end of your scenario (with the filled data content containing the return information).
Key Components and Functionalities
URL: Each Webhook block has a unique URL. External applications send data to this URL to trigger the Voltask automation.
Methods: You can specify the HTTP methods that the Webhook block accepts (for example, GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE, PUT). This determines how the external application should send data to the webhook. GET is selected by default. For your information, here are their meanings:
GET: Used to request data from a server. Parameters are usually included in the URL.
POST: Used to send data to a server to create or update a resource. The data is sent in the request body.
PUT: Replaces all current data of a target resource with the provided data.
PATCH: Applies partial modifications to a resource.
DELETE: Deletes the specified resource.
Body Type: This parameter defines the format of the data received by the Webhook block (for example, JSON, text...). Text is selected by default.
Exposure Options: Voltask offers options to expose the details of the incoming request. Expose Body is enabled by default. For your information, here are their details:
exposeUrl: Provides access to the URL of the incoming request.
exposeBody: Provides access to the data sent in the body of the request.
exposeFiles: Manages files uploaded as part of the request. It should be enabled if you also want to send files.
exposeMethod: Provides access to the HTTP method used for the request.
In the Celestory Creator, the information that arrives at the Data input point of the Voltask Write block exits via the Result output point of the Voltask Webhook block.
