I try to send webhook for some interogation. How to treat failed requests into an if/else block?

[Richard Vencu]

I am querying a webhook for some value. If the value is not found I get this error from the webhook:

Action details:

Send web request

Error response HTTP body:{"errors":{},"errorMessages":["The property worktype does not exist."],"httpStatusCode":{"present":true}}Error publishing webhook. Response HTTP status:404

I tried to use an if/else block with these conditions: {{webhookResponse.status}} equals 200 and 404 but I am still getting the error like the condition is never tested (i.e. the failed send webhook test stops execution of the rest of the rule).

I used another API endpoint and condition as a workaround for this problem:

Hi @Richard Vencu ,

Have you worked around your issue then or did you still need some assistance?

[Richard Vencu]

Thanks for asking. My particular problem is solved but the general question still stands.

Is it possible to test webresponse status code and follow if/else branches in case it is not 2xx type?

Hi @Richard Vencu,

I'm afraid not. We have got an improvement tracking this, which would add the option to allow the rule to continue on a non 2xx response.

@Simmo , thanks for creating the ticket, any idea when we can expect the resolution. This is important to handle it because , in my scenario I have multiple calls and actions based on the status if its 200,404,400 or 500.

I am adding comments , doing some other actions but in this case i would not be able to do anything if the status received other than 200.

Hi @Muhammad Ramzan ,

I'm afraid it isn't prioritised at the moment. The best cause of action for you to take if you want to try and get it pushed along is to raise a support ticket.

Cheers,
