Webhook input not available in scripting step? - zapier

Question

I have an internal app that uses a webhook listener and some scripting to manipulate the input data. I'm posting this to it:
curl -X POST -d '{
"assignment_id": 12345,
"updated_custom_fields": [{
"name": "RNVIDAYEBB",
"value": "updated!"
},
{
"name": "QUFTXSIBYA",
"value": "and me too"
}
],
"custom_fields": [{
"id": 981,
"name": "RDEXDPVKRD",
"fields": [
{
"id": 4096,
"name": "RNVIDAYEBB",
"default": "EDJEAJICYW",
"required": true,
"value": "Blah"
},
{
"id": 4097,
"name": "QUFTXSIBYA",
"default": "",
"required": true,
"value": ""
}]
}]
}' "https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/......"
My script is as follows:
update_custom_fields_by_name_pre_write: function(bundle) {
var updatedFields = _.map(bundle.request.data.custom_fields, function(group) {
return _.map(group.fields, function(field) {
return _.extend(field, _.findWhere(bundle.request.data.updated_custom_fields, { name: field.name} ));
});
});
bundle.request.data = updatedFields;
return bundle.request;
}
I know that the merging logic is good, but it appears that the custom_fields and updated_custom_fields arrays are not present in the bundle.request.data object. Anyone know how to get access to them in the script?

Answer 1

It seems like you should be using update_custom_fields_by_name_catch_hook to capture the incoming static webhook data (instead of _pre_write). If you use that, you can capture the data within bundle.cleaned_request.custom_fields and bundle.cleaned_request.updated_custom_fields.
