Unable to trigger a make.com webhook

i have created a chatbot with a role:-

You role is get phone number of the pet shop

and i have created a make webhook with the following prompt

Ask the user for the pet shop name and get the phone number

However the trigger is never fired when I specifically give the pet shop name in the prompt

It will say it’s unable to get the phone number

Even when i ask it to trigger a make.com webhook after i have given it a pet shop name

What am I doing wrong ?

Many thanks

hey @netmstr congrats on building your new chatbot!

The 1st issue I caught is that you are giving a role to the Action’s Trigger prompt “ATP”.

The ATP needs simple instructions as to when it should be triggered without too much added detail after that.

E.g ATP: “Trigger this action everytime after the user input a query.”

That :backhand_index_pointing_up: simple!

This section of the prompt “…Ask the user for the pet shop name and get the phone number…” should be part of your chatbot’s Role (Core chatbot prompt).

" Even when i ask it to trigger a make.com webhook after i have given it a pet shop name"

That section :backhand_index_pointing_up: should also be merged with your Role (Core prompt) as well.

Think of the Role (Core prompt) as the manager handing out SOPs to the Department Managers - and connected actions as the Department Managers.

Wow. Thanks. It really works. I think the prompt role is very important

By the way, how do I know when pickaxe does fire a trigger

Nice. 100% the Prompt section is the SOP for your Pickaxe.

Q: “By the way, how do I know when pickaxe does fire a trigger”

When you’re testing in the back-end, scroll down after the AI answers a query > you’ll find this magnifying glass icon >

Tap it to see the details of what your AI did to answer that query (I.e., what KB docs it looked into/which actions it triggered (or did not)/amount of tokens used/which prompt-chained Pickaxes it communicated with/which MCP servers were triggered, etc).
