Hi!

Im using the API workflow as a webhook to receive messages from another platform, this usually works perfect and detects the data correctly but for this data structure and getting these “/” characters and bubble its not detecting the structure of the data. Below its what Im receiving. Funny fact its that if I use Integromat I receive the same message but without “/” I them call the bubble service again, but I dont want to pay for integromat+bubble.

Thanks on any ideas.

{  
“body”: {  
“data”: “{“event”:“INBOX”,“from”:“50672015677”,“to”:“50687010393”,“text”:“Alo”}”  
},  
“headers”: {  
“x-forwarded-host”: “[chats-app.bubbleapps.io](http://chats-app.bubbleapps.io)”,  
“x-forwarded-proto”: “https”,  
“x-forwarded-port”: “443”,  
“x-forwarded-for”: “::ffff:104.131.61.28”,  
“content-type”: “application/x-www-form-urlencoded”,  
“content-length”: “125”,  
“connection”: “close”,  
“host”: “[chats-app.bubbleapps.io](http://chats-app.bubbleapps.io)”  
}  
}

Hi @rfuentesd,

I’d start by running this json through one of the online validators (eg. [https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/](https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com/)) as it doesn’t look valid. Then I’d use one of the webhook testers out there (eg. [https://webhook.site/](https://webhook.site/)) to narrow down where the problem lies.

Hi Mebeingken,

Thanks for the help, Im actually able to receive the json in other platform well, like integromat, I tried with webhook.site (which it didnt know and its great) and it collected correctly the data part but bubble ads these \ charatercs, below an example:

**This is what I receive on webhook.site**  
data `{"event":"MESSAGEPROCESSED","from":"50672015677","to":"5491234567890","custom_data":"your own id 1234"}`

**This is what I receive on bubble** I have to put a screenshot because the extra \ characters disappear on the editor

So I have to use a middleware but this middleware (integromat) I would prefer not to pay.

Thanks
