Response Object from Trello Webhook isn't the correct response object

[Jacob Meldgaard Beckermann]

Hey Atlassian community,

I want to create a webhook for a card or board and whenever that webhook is triggered, I want to check if the type of the action is the correct one. I have a server up and running and can create the webhooks succesfully. However, the response/Payload I receive from Trello, whenever I move my card isn't the response shown in the Trello Webhook API documentation. 

I am uncertain of what I am doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated

Below is the function, which handles incoming requests send to the server.

const publicResources="public/"; function processReq (request, response){ var pathname = url.parse(request.url).pathname; var ext = path.extname(pathname); if(request.method =="GET"){ if(ext){ if(ext === '.css'){ response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/css'}); } else if(ext === '.js' || ext === '.mjs'){ response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/javascript'}); } else if (ext === '.json'){ // tjeker om request'en er en json fil console.log(request.body); // poster filen i consollen response.status(200).end() // responder til kalderen med en 200, og ender "samtalen" } response.write(fs.readFileSync(publicResources + pathname, 'utf8')); }else{ response.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'}); response.write(fs.readFileSync(publicResources +'index.html', 'utf8')); } } else if (request.method == "POST"){ console.log("A Webhook has send a POST request to this server!"); try{ let data = response; console.log(data); // poster filen i consollen response.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type': 'application/json'}); response.write('Success'); } catch (error){ console.log("An error happend  :" + error) //response.writeHead(500,{'Content-Type': 'application/json'}); response.write('Fail'); }
} else { //response.writeHead(500); }
 response.end(); }

 And below is the response, which I have logged to the console.

 The object is far greater that what I expected and there is no action or type in the response.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey @Jacob Meldgaard Beckermann - can you raise this in the Developer Community instead? They would be better suited to answering this: https://community.developer.atlassian.com/
