Webhook

jannes

We want to use : https://www.calculoid.com/web-calculator-templates-by-calculoid
for onboarding customers (in a WordPress-website) and send data via a webhook (REST-API) to AIM.

Is it possible ? Can AIM "listen" to receive incoming data ?
Which URL must be specified ?
How to set up the "process" in AIM which is receiving the data ?

DEMO: the CRM app EXPOSING object via REST. Easy!>

jannes

Hi Jaymer,

I used the CRM-with_REST.bsv (in my AIM called "CRMRest").

I added in BO "REST_custs" the property : communication = REST
Name : custs
Base URL : http://<IP server>/AwareIM/REST/CRMRest
HTTP Verb : GET

Request body : application/json
Use this string : name

In PostMan :
http://<IP server>/AwareIM/REST/CRMRest/custs?name=All

Authorization :
    Username : admin 
    Password : password

But there is no response yet.

Any idea ?

Jaymer

I’m not sure exactly what you’re saying.
You say you used this BSV, but then you made a new BO.
That’s not what the instructions say to do.
I think I would go back and create a CRM app using the sample application.
Then import my demo BSV over the top of that, just like it says in that other thread.
Publish it, And it should work right away with no changes.
Try to get that working first before you try to work with your BSV

Hi Jaymer,

Your example is workin now.
I can enter an URL now in the browser to request a service in AIM.
That's great. Thanks!

The next step to let Calculoid work with it.
However, the result = exception: Unrecognized content type application&Configuration Tool connection issue;x-www-form-urlencoded in the body of the request

The content-type should be :
Content type: text/html;charset=utf-8

Is there a way to specify the content-type in your example ?

Not at my desk, but that would be up to aware.
I’m not sure if there is any setting on the REST screen to set a Type.

It looks like the content-types that can be exposed are application/json or text/xml

In the upper right of the REST screen, there's a section:
Reply Returned by the Service

Aware is probably setting the header to match the type selected by those radio buttons.

Calculoid support responded :

The webhooks, for now, send the data in application/x-www-form-urlencoded content-type/format.
Unfortunately, there is no other option.

Let us don't give up.
It would be a nice add-on when Calculoid-forms could be used.
I asked Vlad to look also.. hope it helps..
