Instant Trigger (webhook)

Instant Trigger is a trigger that is executed immediately when the data arrives to Make.

There is nothing to configure in this module except the interface. The data processing is handled by a selected Webhook.

Components

Communication

pageCommunication

• Communication is only optional in the Instant Trigger.

• It can be used for retrieving additional data.

• iterate directive is not available.

• pagination directive is not available.

• Only a single request can be performed.

Retrieving additional data for each bundle

If you need to retrieve additional data for each bundle, you can describe a request to execute for each bundle of the webhook:

{
    "url": "http://example.com/api/item/{{payload.id}}",
    "response": {
        "output": {
          "id": "{{payload.id}}",
          "data": "{{body}}"
        }
    }
}

Static Parameters

pageStatic parameters

The Instant Trigger module can only have static parameters. There's no reason to have anything mappable in the Instant Trigger as this module is always the first module in the scenario.

Interface

Exactly one bundle is generated with each incoming webhook.
