Webhook JSON Mustache Question

Cloud

Hi!

I try to send webhook Key/Value pairs only if the corresponding Key/Value pair exist in the EVENT I got. Works with a tiny problem. Here the Details:

The custom JSON I use in the Webhook Integration:

{
"Unit": "{{{Unit}}}",
"SeqNum": "{{{SeqNum}}}",
"TSSend": "{{{TSSend}}}",
"GoodCounter": "{{{GoodCounter}}}",
"TSGCnt": "{{{TSGCnt}}}",
"{{#RejectCounter}}RejectCounter{{/RejectCounter}}": "{{{RejectCounter}}}",
"{{#TSRCnt}}TSRCnt{{/TSRCnt}}": "{{{TSRCnt}}}",
"{{#OpState}}OpState{{/OpState}}": "{{{OpState}}}",
"{{#TSOpState}}TSOpState{{/TSOpState}}": "{{{TSOpState}}}"
}

If an EVENT with all Key/Value pairs triggers the webhook all looks great…

EVENT
{
"Unit":"Prod-001"
"SeqNum":"15"
"TSSend":"2024-06-10 16:02:06"
"GoodCounter":"4"
"TSGCnt":"2024-06-10 16:02:03"
"RejectCounter":"1"
"TSRCnt":"2024-06-10 16:02:06"
"OpState":"0"
"TSOpState":"2024-06-10 16:02:03"
"DevName":"PMT-000002"
}

WEBHOOK
{
  "Unit": "Prod-001",
  "SeqNum": "15",
  "TSSend": "2024-06-10 16:02:06",
  "GoodCounter": "4",
  "TSGCnt": "2024-06-10 16:02:03",
  "RejectCounter": "1",
  "TSRCnt": "2024-06-10 16:02:06",
  "OpState": "0",
  "TSOpState": "2024-06-10 16:02:03"
}

But if an EVENT triggers a webhook where a Key/Value pair was avoided an artefact appears => "": ""

EVENT
{
"Unit":"Prod-001"
"SeqNum":"10"
"TSSend":"2024-06-10 16:01:06"
"GoodCounter":"6"
"TSGCnt":"2024-06-10 16:01:06"
"DevName":"PMT-000002"
}

WEBHOOK
{
  "Unit": "Prod-001",
  "SeqNum": "10",
  "TSSend": "2024-06-10 16:01:06",
  "GoodCounter": "6",
  "TSGCnt": "2024-06-10 16:01:06",
  "": ""
}

Here another example…

EVENT
{
"Unit":"Prod-001"
"SeqNum":"1"
"TSSend":"2024-06-10 15:59:30"
"GoodCounter":"0"
"TSGCnt":"2024-06-10 15:59:30"
"OpState":"1"
"TSOpState":"2024-06-10 15:59:30"
"DevName":"PMT-000002"
}

WEBHOOK
{
  "Unit": "Prod-001",
  "SeqNum": "1",
  "TSSend": "2024-06-10 15:59:30",
  "GoodCounter": "0",
  "TSGCnt": "2024-06-10 15:59:30",
  "": "",
  "OpState": "1",
  "TSOpState": "2024-06-10 15:59:30"
}

Where is my fault?

Thanks for any help

The fix works something like this:

{
"Unit": "{{{Unit}}}",
"SeqNum": "{{{SeqNum}}}",
"TSSend": "{{{TSSend}}}",
"GoodCounter": "{{{GoodCounter}}}",
{{#RejectCounter}}"RejectCounter": "{{{RejectCounter}}}",{{/RejectCounter}}
{{#TSRCnt}}"TSRCnt": "{{{TSRCnt}}}",{{/TSRCnt}}
{{#OpState}}"OpState": "{{{OpState}}}",{{/OpState}}
{{#TSOpState}}"TSOpState": "{{{TSOpState}}}",{{/TSOpState}}
"TSGCnt": "{{{TSGCnt}}}"
}

What you need to do is surround the components that may or may not exist entirely with the conditional, including the separators.

I also moved TSGCnt to the end, because otherwise you could end up with invalid JSON if the TSOpState did not exist.

Hi rickkas7, that works :slight_smile: Thx so much!

One info the WebGui shows an parse error but I just saved the new code which is possible and does the job...

Sorry, I forgot to warn you about that. Yes, it's flagged as an error but you can still save it and it will work properly.

ChatGPT 4o suggests this style of code but I did not trust because of the parse error. You are more trustfully :slight_smile: I think I should change my beaviour...
