Error publishing webhook. Response HTTP status: 401

[vincenzo.spatafora]

Dear ALL,

I have created an automation rule for editing (PUT) in a specifc confluence page the value of a field (called in my case "% Completion").

But you get an error message saying:

Error publishing webhook. Response HTTP status: 401

Do you see a reason for that?

Find please attached my rule.

Thanks in advance, Vincenzo.

Hi @vincenzo.spatafora 

401 means permission issue, you are not authenticate. Are you sure to provide the right Authentication param ?

Hi @Florian Bonniec

thanks for your reply.

No, I'm not sure: how can I authenticate myself? I don't know that.

Thanks, Vincenzo.

Hi

I will use a service account if you can instead of your own, as it's this user that will be use for the action.

Also I would save the token as secret first then use the secret.
