Webhook Automations

Configuration
1

Could anybody give me an example of how to access the payload (e.g. query string or POST data) of the webhook used to trigger an automation? I cannot seem to get this to work.

For example I have configured an automation with webhook ID"announce-visitor" and I trigger it with:
http://[HA URL]:8123/api/webhook/anounce-visitor?key=myValue

I try to send a notification using this YAML:

metadata: {}
data:
  message: Trigger data: {{ trigger.data.key }}
action: notify.mobile_app_iphone

but I get only “Trigger data:” in the notificaition.

I have the webhook set to GET using the gear icon in the webhook settings. What am I missing?

Hi ,

I have one home assistant instance webhooking to my home if they want my attention.

Sending:
In a script I do…

    - service: shell_command.person_detected
      data: {"message":"{{message}}"}

and in the shell I send:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-type:application/json' --data '{"message":"I spy a {{message}} person"}' https://hooks.nabu.casa/gAAAAAblahblahandalotmorecrapherethatwastheoriginalwebhookcode

To Recieve:

- trigger:
  - platform: webhook
    webhook_id: person-cottage-isejgoeirhgeoigho0ggeoigoeieo0ooeib
    allowed_methods:
      - POST
      - PUT
    local_only: false
  action:
    - alias: "Notify phone(s)"
      service: notify.message_dad
      data:
        message: "{{ trigger.json.message }}"
        live_message: " {{ trigger.json.message }}, with my little eye, at the cottage"
