Hi , in the particle.io events tab , I do see the event and the data sent by the device. Please how do put this data into “subject” in the below custom template POST request ?
@mmai, I don’t think you received any responses yet due to the vagueness of the question. Please elaborate on what you are trying to do. Are you making a POST request from a Particle device? Which one (Photon, Electron, etc.) Are you using a library to make the POST request such as the HTTPClient library? Are you using webhooks to get/send data? Your sample JSON above isn’t properly formatted with a preceding and ending { } or [ ]. Is the data JSON? Is this JSON-looking data to be included in the body of the POST or in POST parameters?
this other screenshot, scroll to bottom click edit . Then you will see the custom template link.How do I transmit data from Photon (“eureka”) to mm.net server , in any field of the form ? My call to mm.net works perfect with static data, as is.
You need to substitute your subject value with {{{PARTICLE_EVENT_VALUE}}}
If you looked at the default field definition for Webhook forms (before switching to custom) you’d have seen how it’s done.
BTW, that _EVENT_PREFIX bit of your event name seems to be redundant. Since the value is and event prefix by definition, it needn’t be called that way
thank you so much scruffr ! I will do that. If I become rich one day , I will send you a big check.
BTW, that _EVENT_PREFIX bit of my event name is voluntary put there to tell me what it is I am dealing with, as you say an “event prefix”. It’s learning process tag I put there, pretty wise , no ?
Cheers to you ! I was in programming like you in my first career. My first career was real-time systems C language programmer , from tracking systems to video games. Basically, I am a Jedi with the C language. Ask me anything. …i just read your profile: vic-20 6502’s. Remember Compuserve dial-up text adventure game "GO NORTH, PICK THIS, ETC. " ?
