Hey Darren,

I'm just seeing your response! I just re-tested it from my own dashboard and got it to work successfully. We may have to look into other areas that might be causing this issue. Please feel free to schedule a call!

Hi AllanHeo - Its not Darren T sorry - its Darren B 🙂 I've chatted to you on the old Slack groups previously

I did some more testing what what I was after and rather than fixing the result to two static URLs, I decided to pass in the URL via the API call as a callback URL parameter: canvas_entry_properties.${callback_url} 

However, I found that there is some restriction on what you can put in the Webhook URL field. It seems to always want a HTTP scheme as a minimum e.g.

https://{{canvas_entry_properties.${callback_url}}}  (Saves OK)

{{canvas_entry_properties.${callback_url}}} (Throws error on Save)

Cheers

Darren
