Is that your actual code where for the user token you typed

user_token

The user token would be a very long string.  You make a user token by going into you name at the top right, and then Preferences and then look for
Manage User Tokens

    Hey Mark, sorry for the confusion. I just pasted in the generic code that's in the quickbase documentation for api calls. I have a very long string that I'm using in reality.

      Why not just use an Automation instead of a Webhook?  Or is this being called from outside Quick Base?
      Any chance there is a leading or trailing space in your usertoken?

        Yes, I'm calling this from outside Quick Base.  I just checked for leading/trailing spaces that might be a simple solution but no such luck.

        I'm a bit surprised that I was getting an "Invalid Application Token" error at all since I thought that having a user token would eliminate that need.
