How to use event's parameter on REST API payload

C

We have the following payload and would like to use the event’s parameter {{TRIGGERED_ON}} on the “timestamp” key.

{
  "something": [
    {
      "akey": "avalue",
      "type": 0,
      "points": [
        {
          "timestamp": 1234567890,
          "value": 0.1
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Seems like a good use case for the Expression Evaluator processor. It can modify the record’s field on the data in motion.

This is needed to be done on the “Subscription” section of Control Hub as a webhook payload

Ah, got it. Our docs have some examples about doing things like that.

Using the parameters as string has no issue, the timestamp needs to be sent as number, and so the curly brackets for the parameter conflict with JSON formatting.

Not sure I follow as the examples include sending a JSON payload. What error are you seeing?

HTTP 400 Bad Request error.

Tried with the following and also wrapping {{TRIGGERED_ON}} with double quotes

{
  "something": [
    {
      "akey": "avalue",
      "type": 0,
      "points": [
        {
          "timestamp": {{TRIGGERED_ON}},
          "value": 0.1
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Can you take a screenshot of the whole subscription configuration screen? Be sure to blur out any sensitive info.
