Dave and team, we appreciate the web hooks a ton. A couple of issues: Hooks were all setup and running fine, then with the rollout of the new dashboard today, they stopped working. I simply deleted them and re-created them and then they were back up and running. Any idea why we would need to d…

One answer to my one of my own questions that might be helpful for others. A web hook response will only show in the dashboard if your web server replies with at least 1 byte of data. If you server doesn’t reply with any content (outside of a header) the hook response will not show in the dashboar…

@jeiden and @jtzemp , maybe something for you guys?

Thanks for the bump Kenneth. Haven’t heard anything back yet. We now have 3 cores in-house for testing a new product/service and we definitely need to figure out how to get a core to only subscribe to it’s own web hooks and not that of the others (worst case scenario is that the server returns the…

@phippster , you can simply use a unique event name and set the myDevices flag to true and it should work well :smile: I’m not too sure about the quotes issues but if i hear anything i will post back here :wink:

@kennethlimcp That wouldn’t be a solution as you are limited to 20 web hooks total which means you would be limited to 20 unique events and therefore 20 devices and the firmware for each device would be different (unless you’re using the coreid for the event name). We are planning on deploying hund…

Just a stab in the dark here - which got me into trouble before, but I refuse to learn :wink: [image] phippster: If I attempt to use: Spark.subscribe("hook-response/LOGDATA", getLogResponse, Spark.deviceID()); it doesn't find any response. Could you retry this either by using Spark.subs…

@ScruffR Nope that did not help. We had previously tried using both the String() cast and C character array, but I went back and tried again with no success. Can anyone with expertise in this area please help. Our project has now been on a nearly 2 week hold since we cannot get subscriptions to …

Hi @phippster I was looking at the code on github for this and in particular the tests (since there are unit tests). The tests for the core-specific form always use a null event name to get all the events–maybe you could try that: Spark.subscribe(NULL, getLogResponse, Spark.deviceID()); You then…

@bko I appreciate the idea. Tried it but that didn’t work either. We don’t get any data back from that option. I’m wondering if the device specific code was just never created for the webhook responses.

Hi @joe4465,

Sure, I think one solution would be to use responseTopic:

Thanks,
David
