Webhook replacement variables

[5310]

First, thanks for the previous help provided on using Web hooks. I have my code functioning and now want to clean up some of the processes to provide the web hook body from firmware instead of the integration form.

I currently have a ‘POST’ web hook with the following custom body:

{
  "location": {
    "address": {
      "line1": "351 N Main",
      "line2": "none",
      "city": "Nolos",
      "state": "OH",
      "zip": "44122"
    }
  },
  "services": {
    "fire": false,
    "police": false,
    "medical": false,
    "other": true
  },
  "name": "Nivlek Trahreg",
  "phone": "14444470569",
  "pin": "12234"
}

How I want to use a web hook where I can provide the data from firmware. So I tried this:

{
  "location": {
    "address": {
      "line1": "{{{line1}}}",
      "line2": "{{{line2}}}",
      "city": "{{{city}}}",
      "state": "{{{state}}}",
      "zip": "{{{zip}}}"
    }
  },
  "services": {
    "fire":  "{{{fire}}}",
    "police": "{{{police}}}",
    "medical": "{{{medical}}}",
    "other": "{{{other}}}
  },
  "name": "{{{name}}}",
  "phone": "{{{phone}}}",
  "pin": "{{{pin}}}
}

The code I used is

 testData = String::format( "{ \"line1\":\"%s\",\"line2\":\"%s\",\"city\":\"%s\",\"state\":\"%s\",\"zip\":\"%s\",\"fire\":\"%s\",\"police\":\"%s\",\"medical\":\"%s\",\"other\":\"%s\,\"name\":\"%s\",\"phone\":\"%s\",\"pin\":\"%s\"}",  line1.c_str(), line2.c_str(), city.c_str(), state.c_str(), zip.c_str(), (fire ? "true" : "false"), (police ? "true" : "false"), (medical ? "true" : "false"), (other ? "true" : "false"), name.c_str(), phone.c_str(), pin.c_str());

Particle.publish("498 testData", testData);
delay(10000);
Particle.publish("nla_alarm_create", testData, PRIVATE);     
delay(60000);

The testdata looks good but the POST returns a 400 error.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

First I'd like to remind you of the reference documentation

Device OS API | Reference Documentation

which appears to be ignored in this code

@5310

Particle.publish("498 testData", testData);

Next, I have reformatted your post so that code blocks are properly formatted (by means of the preformatted text feature ) which reveals that your webhook definition is missing several closing double quotes.

What ScruffR said. Also, there’s a mustache template tester in the docs that will preview exactly what will be sent and validate the resulting JSON if you’re generating JSON.

You sure do have a toxic way of helping but thanks anyways. If I was perfect I would be asking. In the end, those fixes didn’t change anything.

my English is bad bad but what did you want to express I guess that even the oldest highlanders didn't know.

the Help doesn't mean the "solution on the plate" which in this case appears that any way you get it from both @ScruffR and @rickkas7

I don't use Web hooks anywhere but thanks to @rickkas7 link it took me 7 minutes to figure out how you should formatted your Web hooks

@5310

Particle.publish("498 testData", testData);

remove the space from your event name

@5310

"other": "{{{other}}}

missing closing double quote

@5310

"pin": "{{{pin}}}

missing closing double quote.

@5310

those fixes didn’t change anything.

which fixes ??? nobody fix nothing here just point you from where to start !

Best Regards
