Hey legends,

Im trying to create a simple Action/Webhook with Activepieces.

All my testing works until I am waiting for the response, which is empty. My prompt just says “Display the entire JSON response to the user”

Is there any specific JSON or formatting or Headers or quirk to know about the response?

Currently I am just putting:

{  
“status”: 200,  
“message”: “Success”  
}

and here is the pickaxe’s response;  
"Successfully sent data. Result: {}

This indicates that the webhook request was sent successfully, but the response was an empty JSON object. This could mean that the webhook endpoint processed the request but didn’t return any specific data in response."

Thanks for any help!

@fluent_friends did you add the response format in the action code in Pickaxe?

I’m not familiar with Activepieces but should not be too dissimilar to Make

Thanks ab, Yes I have tried it, but whenever I include anything like a ‘response format’ (i just ask chatgpt to edit the python code to include it) the testing goes from giving me an empty response JSON{} to repeating to me the initial POST JSON that I send.

But i have moved to N8N and im already getting better results.

Thanks for the reply
