How can I access my own extension's JIRA API using "Send webhook"?

[Yiraphic __ Peeters]

I was wondering if it was possible to access my own extension's private JIRA API using "Send webook". I've been trying to send some information to a POST function in my own rest resource but when I run the code Jira Automation throws the following error: Error publishing webhook. Response HTTP status:403.

If I were to guess it has something to do with authentication but I've no idea how I go about authorizing the rest call.

Hi Jeffrey,

Yes you can. You need to generate a basic auth header using a valid username and password. Then place it into the headers section of the send webhook action.

You can generate a basic auth header using something like postman.

Then switch to headers and copy the value from there.

Hope that helps.

Scott.
