Hi @Sneha Gole

welcome to Atlassian Community!

Unfortunately, it is not possible to use your own variables (based on custom fields' values in issue) in webhook's url.

But I can image another approach could work for you.

Do you have Jira server or cloud?

If you have Jira server, I would recommend you to use ScriptRunner add-on and create post function with groovy script, which will take the values from the issue and use them to create url and body of the request.

hiiiii @Hana Kučerová  I have remove custom fields ..now i have just create transition with none screen selected.

 and i have set "  https://10.0.9.84:443/API/Engineering/Analysis/Validate?Plant=EAES&PartNumber=E171476Y001001  " url in webhook ..

when i check the log file its show like below

does it means  webhook  is sent from myside correctly ?

Hi @Sneha Gole ,

that looks good! Were you able to get the data in the other application?

[Sneha Gole]

No ..im guessing may be its because of network policy 

[Sneha Gole]

The data in other application is not updated what should i do now?

Hi @Sneha Gole ,

did you try to check atlassian-jira.log? 

If the remote systen doesn't "catch" the webhook POST, there should be record about it.

[Sneha Gole]

hii @Hana Kučerová  No there is no such logs about it

can you please tell  me how to post json data in webhook?

Hi @Sneha Gole,

please check Exclude body parameter in configuration of the webhook in Jira administration. The checkbox should by unchecked.
