are there any plans to add webhook as an action for automations?

Hello Braun! Actually webhook action already exists, but it's not exposed in UI yet. You can use this mutation to create webhook action:

mutation {
  create_action (input: {
    config: {webhook: {
      url: ""
    }}
  }) {
    id
  }
}

And then create a hook with that action_id 👆

ah ok cool!

Quick update @Braun Reyes that I'm working on a PR with the UI version of that too.

Also @Braun Reyes -- I designed this API and it's actually far more powerful than our previous one, you can customize the JSON payload. This makes it a bit more work in the UI so that's a part of the delay there. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions about how to set it up.

I would love to know how to format the json payload

So it's configurable as the

payload

field during action configuration/creation. It defaults to dumping all the data from the event so that will give you a good idea what data is available from the event. You can then include any of those keys in your JSON payload using

{key}

(like Python string formatting).

ok let me see if I can make sense of it

e.g.

mutation {
  create_action(input: {config: {webhook: {url: "<http://test.prefect.io/>", payload: "{\"event-id\": \"{event.id}\"}"}}}) {
    id
  }
}
