2. Business Requirement
The webhook integration is required to enable seamless communication between the Admin UI and external systems. The webhook should support both static and dynamic endpoint URLs, allowing flexible configurations based on business needs. This integration will help in automating data exchange and triggering external actions based on system events.
3. Current Webhook Configurations
Scenario 1: Static Endpoint URL
If a webhook URL is configured under the Setup section of the Admin UI, the endpoint URL remains static. The Body Type can be selected as either:
NONE (default payload)
JSON / FORM_DATA / URL_ENCODED (custom payload)
Scenario 2: Dynamic Endpoint URL
If the endpoint URL needs to be dynamic (i.e., unique for each request), it must be configured directly within the webhook widget.
In this case, we need to:
Select Webhook Type as CUSTOM
Define the Method and URL (using a flow key variable)
Configure Authentication (if applicable)
Define a custom payload in JSON / XML / FORM_DATA / PLAIN_TEXT
Specify variables for each header, from which values will be dynamically fetched
Unlike the static endpoint configuration, this approach does not provide a direct option to select the query parameters to be passed in the payload. Instead, these must be defined explicitly within the request configuration.

4. Potential Enhancement
When configuring custom webhooks, having a direct option to select query parameters within the payload configuration is essential for the following reasons:
1. Ease of Configuration
Eliminates the need for manually defining query parameters within the webhook request.
Reduces complexity, especially for non-technical users configuring the webhook.
2. Flexibility in Data Handling
Allows users to easily choose which parameters should be included in the payload.
Ensures consistency in how data is passed to external systems.
3. Reduces Manual Errors
Manual entry of query parameters increases the risk of misconfiguration.
A direct selection option minimizes the chances of missing or incorrectly formatted parameters.
4. Enhances Scalability
When integrating with multiple endpoints, a structured selection approach ensures uniformity.
Makes it easier to manage webhook configurations across different processes.
