Automation - Build Authorization Header Value from Previous Web Response

[Timothy Hidalgo]

Hello

I have a web response that validates correctly



The payload returned is:

{
  "access_token": "<snip>",
  "refresh_token": "<snip>",
  "scope": "useraccount",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 1799
}

I do have "Delay execution of subsequent rule actions until we've received a response for this web request" checked

I have another send web request that needs to use the access_token in its Authorization header value like so:

The full value is Bearer {{webResponse.body.access_token}}

Thus far I have not been able to successfully build this string :( and validating the second request returns authorization failed. I have tested copy/pasting the access_token into the header and it does work 

UPDATE ***

I believe the token is being passed at this point (after testing) however now it seems like the Web request URL isn't accepting the custom field value

https://some/api/endpoint?number={{issue.customfield_123456.value}}

Any help is appreciated

Looks like I've been able to answer this myself

The custom field value is text so it looks like in both cases all I had to do was remove the .value 

{{issue.customfield_123456}} worked.

Can I know from where this value is retrieved  : {{issue.customfield_123456}}  ?

Isn't adding Bearer followed by {{webResponse.body.access_token}} working still ?

Because I need same value to insert in my headers section for another webrequest to trigger, please help. Even adding {{webResponse}} in audit log also not helping/displaying any value.

It's working, smart values are working.  What I was missing is didn't change any value on the field value of Jira story as we created automation rule for webhook for story point estimate. 

As soon as I change value on the field "story point estimate" from existing value to the other, then my automation rule invoked webhook with authorization.
