2️⃣Create a webhook. Add a webhook module to your scenario and set up its data structure by calling it from Postman and sending a JSON containing a name and a valid email in the body.Learn more This first call from Postman to your Webhook ensures knows what type of JSON objects it is supposed to expect. If you make any mistake in the JSON structure, you can always redefine the data structure by clicking on the Webhook, and then on “Redetermine the Data Structure”. You can now make another call from Postman with the right body.8️⃣Modify the scenario so it sends an email to the subscriber containing the following text : Clues : Your email won’t be correctly formatted unless you use a Make module that converts Markdown to HTML.
3️⃣Modify the “Webhook” scenario so that the reply-to address is the mailhook’s email address.CluesTo find the Mailhook’s email address, click on the “Mailhook” module. You can then copy the address. You’ll need to use Make’s native “Send Email” module to modify the “Reply-to” address. If you are not using Make with your school’s email, you won’t be able to do it.You can access the “reply-to” setting by toggling “Advanced Settings” at the bottom of the panel.You will need a “Google Restricted” connection to connect your “Send Email” module.
Webhooks and Mailhooks
⚠️ Test your scenarios and save them at every step!
⚠️Use your school email to log in to make.com, or you won’t be able to complete this practice!
In this practice, receiving data from a third party tool via a specific route will trigger a scenario. This is essentially the same thing as sending an API request, except that you won’t access a resource; instead, you will start a workflow ( a series of operations) in Make.
🟢 Level 1 - Trigger a scenario using a webhook
{
“names”: ”Laurent Dupont”,
“email”: “yourtestemail@gmail.com”
}
3️⃣Add a webhook response module to your scenario containing the following text: “Thank you! To finalize your subscription, verify your email address by replying to the email we just sent you!”. Test your Webhook in Postman again. It should return the response you just created.
5️⃣Create a database and name it Newsletter Subscriptions. Note that for new users, Airtable may automatically create a database for you. In this case, rename it.
6️⃣Create a table in the database you just created and name it “Subscribers”. It should contain 3 fields: Names, Email, and Verified.
7️⃣Add an Airtable module to the scenario. Set it up so that each time the webhook is called, the names and addresses of the subscriber are saved to the “Subscribers” table.
