“I have a Make.com webhook that returns {"response": "..."}. I need to call it from a button click and display the response text in a text element. Step 1 is ApiConnector call, Step 2 should set custom state to Step 1’s response field. The custom state shows empty. How do I fix this?”
have you checked if the API call was initialized with proper data sample? And if bubble has already detected your response field.
Make sure the API call action is set properly before assigning the response to your custom state.
The webhook itself is likely empty; to confirm this, go to a site like webhook.site and send the request there from Make. If it arrives empty there as well, the issue isn’t on Bubble’s end—it means Make is sending an empty payload.
Also - if the payload leaves Bubble fine, check that your Make scenario actually ends with a Webhook Response module. Without it Make just returns an empty Accepted, so the API Connector has nothing to parse.
