Create a trigger using REST Hook Trigger Type

Infinite Blue Platform recommends using REST Hook trigger type to create any trigger. In this method, Zapier generates a Webhook URL. The user can post any request to Webhook URL from Platform using Object Script or HTTP Post trigger. This method doesn’t impose any no extra load on the Platform server. 

• Enter the required details and below content to Directions field as displayed in the below screenshot in the Settings tab of the Trigger form. When done, click Save and Continue.

  Copy

  Copy the below content to Directions field in the Settings tab of the Trigger form

  Copy the generated REST Hook URL and use it inside the Infinite Blue Platform trigger. 
  Example: Create an object script trigger for the desired object.  Use rbv_api.sendJSONRequest Server API to send the data to Zapier. 
  Sample object script trigger code: 
  url = "https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/7082424/or6p7tg/";  
  data = '{"lastName": "{!lastName}", "name": "{!name#text}" }';
  
  var zapierResponse = rbv_api.sendJSONRequest(url, data, "POST", "UTF-8", null, null, null,null);  

• Now, navigate to API Configuration tab.

• In the Configure your API Request section:

  • Select Trigger Type as REST Hook.

  • Switch to Code Mode in the Perform List section and paste the below code.

    • Modify the <HOST_NAME> value to your actual Host Name and click Save & Continue.

    • From the below example, replace the lead value, with the <OBJECT INTEGRATION NAME> value of the object where the Zapier trigger is configured.

    Copy

    const options = {  
      url: 'https://<HOST_NAME>/prod1/api2/data/lead',  
      method: 'GET',  
      headers: {  
        'content-type': 'application/json',  
        'accept': 'application/json',  
          'JWT': bundle.authData.JWT
      },  
      params: {  
        },  
      body: {  
      }  
    }  
    ;  
    return z.request(options)  
      .then((response) => {  
        response.throwForStatus();  
        const results = z.JSON.parse(response.content);  
        return results.results  
      ;});
