How to Create a Unique Value Inside a Webhook on Make.com

Have you ever wondered how to create a unique value inside a webhook? This is a common challenge for many Make.com users, especially when trying to automate tasks on platforms like Monday.com. In this article, we'll walk you through a step-by-step solution to this problem.

The Problem

The challenge is to create an automation on Monday.com that sends an email to the user responsible for a task when its deadline arrives. The email should contain a "Done" button. When clicked, this button should trigger a sequence of actions that changes the task's status to "Done" on Monday.com. The tricky part is making sure the system recognizes which task to change based on its item_id.

The Solution

Here's how you can solve this:

  1. Set up a trigger that checks the item deadline in Monday. Once the deadline is reached, it will activate the webhook scenario for sending the email.
  2. Incorporate the following code in the email body to trigger the webhook: <a href="https://hook.eu1.make.com/fppm6xf76orikoy4xie9566570j9j7q1a?id=YOUR_PULSE_ID">Done</a>.
  3. Replace YOUR_PULSE_ID with the appropriate webhook pulse ID to ensure it corresponds to the relevant webhook for updating the status.
  4. Upon clicking the “Done” link, the corresponding webhook will be triggered to update the status back.

Additionally, make sure to map the sending of the email directly from the Monday data itself.

Updating Status

To update the status, use the following steps:

  1. Trigger the webhook using the pulse ID with a custom webhook URL, such as https://hook.eu1.make.com/fppm6xf76orikoy4xie9566570j9j7q1a.
  2. This webhook will then update the status column in the Monday module.

Conclusion

With these steps, you can successfully create a unique value inside a webhook and automate your tasks on Monday.com. Remember, the key is to correctly map the pulse ID to the relevant webhook. Happy automating!
