1. Internal Webhook
Custom webhooks are internal webhooks which can be used to pass on the data in between the flow execution.
Using webhook widget, you can simply invoke any configured internal webhook in between the flow and call any specific method to push some data.
You do not need to bother about the request body or need to specify the variables that needs to be passed. You can simply follow the 2 below steps to invoke any webhook in between the flow.
List of Internal Webhook
You can use any of the following internal functions. How to configure them is listed below.

Step 2: Configure Request
After you select the custom option, you need to configure the webhook/API request. To configure the request, you need to following configurations -
Method : You need to select the method based on the action you need to perform in the API request. The methods supported are GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE, PUT, OPTION, HEAD.
Authentication : The authentication method that is required to perform the action on the URL. You can select ‘none’ if there is no authentication required or you can select ‘basic’ and provide username and password for authentication.
Headers : Some APIs require you to send particular headers along with sending request, typically to provide additional metadata about the operation you are performing. So by clicking on ‘add headers’ and you can provide headers that are necessary by providing its key and value. You can add multiple headers and mark them as mandatory as well (if required).
Body Type : The type of the body in which the request will be send. It can be none, JSON or XML.
Body : Here you need to provide the request body, according to the body type selected
Query Parameters : Query parameters are appended at the end of the URL. They are extensions of the URL that are used to help define specific content or actions based on the data being passed. You can add multiple query parameters by clicking on ‘add query parameter’ and also mark them as mandatory by selecting the checkbox. You can provide the key and value of the query parameter in their respective text box.

---|
|
Step 3 : Configure Response
Once the request is configured, you need to configure the response of that request in webhook widget. In order to configure response, follow below steps -
Response Type : Select the type of the response that you will be receiving from API call. The response type can be JSON or XML for now.
Object Mapping : You can directly store a particular response object in the flow variable. To add any response object, click on the '➕' button.
In the ‘save in’, enter the flow variable in which you want to save the response object and in the ‘object map’, paste/enter the path of the object.
' JSON' Response Type : When the response type is JSON, in order to find the path of the object you can visit http://jsonpathfinder.com.
On this page, you can paste your JSON response and on the right side, click on the object whose path you need to find.
You will be able to see the path at the top right corner.
Copy that path and paste in the ‘object map’ area.
Replace ‘X' with 'data’
To know more, you can refer to the help section of the widget.

Outcome : Everytime the flow is executed, all the flow details (as mentioned in the format) will be send sent to the default webhook selected.
...
If you want to send some additional data at the end of the flow in some different format, then you can use a webhook widget after ‘on flow complete’ widget.
This functionality will be modified in the near future.
