How to use previous webhook log result?

Question

I am building an automation for my team. In that automation, I plan to first send a web request, save the result, then send another. I noticed that the log overwrote the first web request's result when I received the result of the second web request.

Is there a way to save both the requests' result? Because in my following actions, I need to use the results from both requests. In some posts, it mentioned that I can create variables to save the information. But I did not find it in the "action" section.

Any help would be appreciated!

Do you know how should I find the result for some responses in webResponses? I tried webhookResponses.first.body, webhookResponses.last.body, it all worked. But webhookResponses.second.body didn't return anything.

Thank you!

Thank you! I didn't find "Create variable" in "New action" part. Do you know why?

The web response one did help! I used {{webhookResponses.last.body.result}} and {{webhookResponses.first.body.result}} and it worked. Is there a difference between webhookResponses and webResponses?

Hi @Sere Walkens

To access the response data you will need to select the 'Delay execution' checkbox in the web request component.

On successful web request, you will be able to access response data using the following smart values:

* {{webResponse.status}} returns the response code e.g. 200
* {{webResponse.statusCategory}} returns the category of the response status - INFO, SUCCESS, REDIRECT, CLIENT_ERROR, SERVER_ERROR, OTHER
* {{webResponse.headers}} returns the response headers that you can access using dot notation e.g. {{webResponse.headers.Content-Type}}
* {{webResponse.body}} returns the response body, if the body is a JSON object then you can access values using dot notation e.g. {{webResponse.body.name}}
* {{webResponses}} returns a list of the 10 most recent responses this rule received. E.g. {{webResponses.last.body}}

You can also use the `Create variable` component to set any of the values in the response to a variable and use it as a smart value later in the rule.
