Send Web Request to a Python Server through JIRA Automation

Akhila Rao _RBEI_ETC4_

Hello,

I have a Python server running with Flask. Currently it is running in my local machine.

Whenever there is a change in the due date, I want to send a web request to the server by sending some custom message.

When, i try to validate it gives me 408 error and when the automation is triggered, it gives me "Webhook request was sent, but timed out after 30 seconds on the remote host so the result is unknown (but most likely successful)."

When i send this via Rest Client, i recieve the message.

Does the endpoint have to be another Jira Rest End point or any endpoint can be used?

My webhook URL for the webrequest endpoint goes like this: http://IP_Address:5000/post

I would start by checking the log on the Flask side to see what it received in the web request from the automation rule and compare that to what the log shows from a successful request from a REST client (I assume that by client you mean something like cURL or Postman).

It would also be helpful if you share the configuration of your automation rule web request action including headers and body.
