Passing Data from Backend Workflow to Another Backend Workflow

Need help APIs
1

I use a service that compiles 6 sets of data and sends me a notification via a webhook when the data is ready. I am only allowed this one webhook for the service. The data is similar but comes back in different structures so I have created 6 different APIs to get the data back to me. When the webhook is triggered, I do a search on my database and call one of the 6 API calls to get the data. All of that works great!!

The problem I am having is that all of the data are lists and contain hundreds of fields. Previously, I have always “Scheduled an API workflow on a list” and then manually defined the parameters. However, with this many parameters, I was wondering if it is possible to auto detect the parameters like a webhook. This way, I could send all of the parameters for each record.

When I turn on Detect Data in the target endpoint, I get a new field _wf_request_data in the api trigger and I am not sure what it means.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I will not answer you question directly but in order to have just one WF (and not 6 differents) you can initialize just one endpoint by using a tool like Postman or Make.

The idea is the following > if you know all the structure of your payload send by your webhook, you can create manually your payload which combine all of the field you need (of course if you have a good API doc of your tier part).

I had the same issue with Hubspot who allowed only 1 endpoint, so I combined several in one by using this method.
