How to I properly get a webhook to fire for AddRecord?

Try add a line like this 

 <usertoken>bxv4tx_bjix_8xxxxxxxx</usertoken> 


The Webhook actually runs under a userid and takes on that userid's permisisons.  So decide what userid it will run under, and then sign on as that user and go to "My Preferences under the user's name at the top right and then

Manage User Tokens


That will give you a long code, similar to the App Token, but in this case it essentially logs in under that userid to execute the Webhook.

A consideration is to choose a userid which will perhaps out survive your personal access to the app.  For example if you are an App Admin for a Company and you set up a bunch of obscure webhooks under you own userid and then choose not to be immortal, or at least choose not to be an employee for te next 100 years, then its a better idea to set up a Userid which will be owned by the IT department, and last longer than perhaps your personal access to the app.  

Once that userid assciated with the Usertoken l no longer has access to the app, then it will fail.

Mark, Thank you. the usertoken worked perfectly!!!

Can you point me to any more good resources for learning how to more robustly write the "message body" portion of webhooks? I'm a quick learner but the help is pretty thin. I prefer more examples to emulate...Thanks!!!!!

The help is pretty thin, I agree.  The best examples are in the API help under a particular API call where they give examples.

here is the API guide

http://help.quickbase.com/user-assistance/Default.html#apicalls.html

here, for example is the example for API_AddRecord

<qdbapi>
   <udata>mydata</udata>
   <ticket>auth_ticket</ticket>
   <apptoken>app_token</apptoken>
   <field name="event_name">party at Lindisfarne</field>
   <field name="description">dress in style of the epoch</field>
   <field name="location">lindisfarne island</field>
   <field name="start_time">06-08-0793</field>
   <field name="end_time">10-14-1066</field>
</qdbapi>

Example Using Field IDs

<qdbapi>
<udata>mydata</udata>
<ticket>auth_ticket</ticket>
<apptoken>app_token</apptoken>
<field fid="8";>party at Lindisfarne</field>
<field fid="9">dress in style of the epoch</field>
<field fid="10">lindisfarne island</field>
<field fid="11">06-08-0793</field>
<field fid="12">10-14-1066</field>
</qdbapi>


So best I can figure you do not need that <udata> line
You do not need <ticket>
but you do need the <usertoken> which is not documented there.

Thanks. Here's another question: I had a table with 6 new records added (via connected CSV), but the webhook only fired on 1 of the records? Shouldn't it have recreated 6 new records ?

I know that Webhooks are "gated" to not run more than 10 per second on any single table.  But I can't explain why 6 did not fire.  You will need to put in a support ticket on that one.

API_AddRecord is for single record changes. API_ImportFromCSV is what's needed for your multiple record changes however. Here's what I built to accomplish that previously:

<qdbapi>

<usertoken>USERTOKENREMOVED</usertoken>

<records_csv>

<![CDATA[

%repeatOn%

[old.FieldName1.csv],[old.FieldName2.csv],[old.FieldName3.csv],[old.FieldName4.csv],[old.FieldName5.csv]

%repeatOff%

]]></records_csv>

<clist>22.16.18.88.12</clist>

</qdbapi>

This issue is that with multi-record edits, only one webhook would fire.  You would need to add 6 records under one webhook fire to capture the 6 changes.

Similar to how multi-record notifications work, try wrapping your data in %repeatOn% so that if multiple records are added at the same time, all records will be added.  Also, switch your api to API_ImportFromCSV so you can add multiple records.

Thanks!

Hate to ask this and sound like a dummy.  What is <udata> and what is <ticket>??
