Google Apps Script Webhook Redirect

A few days ago my Google Apps Script based webhooks stopped receiving data. Did Particle stop following redirects?

Before the change I’d get a response like this, the important part is the last line which includes a json response:

{"error_code":0,"result":{"responseData":"{\"system\":{\"set_relay_state\":{\"err_code\":0}}}"}}

Oddly the response body has part of the redirect html but not the full thing, I left it as-is, that’s exactly how it was listed in the Particle Integrations response. Here’s what has been happening since then, full redirect response html but no json that would result from following the redirect:

So no Json result anymore and I’m not sure how to get it back. Google’s redirect is a security feature that has existed for years. Any ideas?

I believe I’ve had the exact same thing happening since Friday Jul 7 at around 7pm EDT. Not with Google however, but with AWS Cloudfront. I resolved it by editing my Webhooks definition to be httpS rather than http, but clearly this was a change of some sort.

I too would like to know if there’s any way to “recover” the missed events.

Thanks @fragma and @horganic, we will look at this and update you with findings.

This redirect issue has been fixed!

If you do see anything amiss, do let us know. We are happy to revisit and dive in.

That fixed my issue, thanks.

Awesome.
