Calling Webhook

This tutorial walks you through creating a custom tool in Ciniter that calls a webhook endpoint, passing the necessary parameters in the request body. We will use Make.com to set up a webhook workflow that sends messages to a Discord channel.

Setting Up a Webhook in Make.com

Sign up or log in to Make.com.
Create a new workflow containing a Webhook module and a Discord module, as shown below:
From the Webhook module, copy the webhook URL:
In the Discord module, configure it to pass the message from the webhook body as the message sent to the Discord channel:
Click Run Once to start listening for incoming requests.
Send a test POST request with the following JSON body:
```
{
    "message": "Hello Discord!"
}
```
If successful, you will see the message appear in your Discord channel:

Congratulations! You have successfully set up a webhook workflow that sends messages to Discord. 🎉

Creating a Webhook Tool in Ciniter

Next, we will create a custom tool in Ciniter to send webhook requests.

Step 1: Add a New Tool

Open the Ciniter dashboard.
Click Tools, then select Create.
Fill in the following fields:

Field Value
Tool Name make_webhook (must be in snake_case)
Tool Description Useful when you need to send messages to Discord
Tool Icon Src CiniterFlow Tool Icon
Define the Input Schema:

Field	Value
Tool Name	`make_webhook` (must be in snake_case)
Tool Description	Useful when you need to send messages to Discord
Tool Icon Src	CiniterFlow Tool Icon

Step 2: Add Webhook Request Logic

Enter the following JavaScript function:

const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const webhookUrl = 'https://hook.eu1.make.com/abcdef';
const body = {
    "message": $message
};
const options = {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(body)
};
try {
    const response = await fetch(webhookUrl, options);
    const text = await response.text();
    return text;
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
    return '';
}

Click Add to save your custom tool.

Step 3: Build a Chatflow with Webhook Integration

Create a new canvas and add the following nodes:
- Buffer Memory
- ChatOpenAI
- Custom Tool (select make_webhook)
- OpenAI Function Agent
Connect them as shown:
Save the chatflow and start testing it.

Step 4: Sending Messages via Webhook

Try asking the chatbot a question like:

"How to cook an egg?"

Then, request the agent to send this information to Discord:

Sending message via agent

You should see the message appear in your Discord channel:
