This tutorial shows how to turn CSV data into JSON and post it to a webhook from an Advanced ETL Processor package. Use it when a file-based process needs to feed an API endpoint directly. The CSV file still gets to be awkward. The webhook does not need to know.
What You Will Learn
- Convert CSV records into a JSON request body.
- Configure the HTTP action to send the JSON payload to a webhook.
- Set request headers and authentication details where the webhook requires them.
- Check response data and execution logs after the package runs.
Before You Start
Use a test repository or safe sample data while following the tutorial. Production jobs are a poor place to experiment.
HTTP Action Docs
This tutorial uses the HTTP action to post generated JSON to a webhook. In practice, the important parts are the target URL, HTTP method, request body, headers, and any authentication the receiving API expects.
The HTTP Action docs explain the request tab, including request body, headers, and authentication. For a JSON webhook, check the body format first. A perfect package cannot rescue an endpoint from the wrong `Content-Type` header.
Use the variables tab when later actions need response values. Use the execution log tab and HTTP request debugging when testing the webhook response before scheduling the package.
