Reddit Flow Is Failing
Status: Closed · Asked by John Brocas (Jock) on · 0 views
The flow that posts from our magazine to reddit is faililng consistently. Can support please help.
Hey @Jock
Kindly share the task history id from your workflow in which you are getting failed Reddit action step.
where do i get that?
Please allow us some time, we are currently looking into it.
Ok no problem
Hey @Jock
As we have checked your tasks history Id, we couldn't find any error in the data flow.
If you are having trouble getting the response from your trigger event then kindly recapture the webhook response once. Perhaps your webhook URL might not be intact in your triggering application.

how do i do that?
Hey @Jock
Kindly follow the given steps once to capture the webhook response from your "StoryChef" account.
- Login to your StoryCheif account
- Go to your relevant Workspace
- Navigate to the top right dropdown > Channels
- Click on Custom Website
- Click on Add New Destination button
- Copy the Webhook URL above & paste it under the webhook field.
- Save the Settings
Kindly try this at your end and then make a test submission by Publishing, Editing or Deleting a Story.
I done all that and it is only publishing a test, it is not publishing the article.
Hey @Jock
Could you please record a short video on how you are capturing the webhook response?
Hey @Jock
As we can see from the video you didn't capture the webhook response at all, please capture the webhook response from your StoryChef account.

Hey @Jock
Could you please try the same scenario using webhook.site and let me know if you are able to receive the notifications?

Ok i am not all that informed on how to do these. You keep asking me to do things on one line with no real help or instruction. In reality, your support is not entirely professional as you are expecting me to know how to use this. A screencast on video would be far superior than written text that assumes i know what you are on about.
Hey @Jock
Sorry for the inconvenience, but we have checked the webhook data from StoryChef on Webhook.site and it seems like data is not being pushed from StoryCheif at all.
Though we have contacted them for the same and would recommend you to check with their team for the same.

Now that finally makes sense, would it be better to not use them and use wordpress instead?
Hey @Jock
Yes, you can try Webhook by Pabbly trigger event to capture the webhook response from the StoryChief account. If WordPress supports StoryChief webhook triggers.

No i meant not using the webhook on sc and just using wordpress.. By the way Story Chief said they responded to you and waiting on your response.
Hey @Jock
Yes, the trigger event wasn't capturing the webhook response from the StoryChief but now as we checked it is working accordingly.
You may refer to the following short recorded video on the same.
Well it is still not working, even after they said it would
I captured the webhook perfectly fine but it still only publishes the word publish, its failing on all counts within pabbly. https://d.pr/i/2IoWsq
Because you have mapped the trigger event(meta event) instead of the title which you have to use from the trigger response in the Reddit action step.

Please map the appropriate data in the action step which you want to pass on Reddit action step.
Moreover, we can see your automation is capturing the data from StoryChief correctly and passing the data to "Reddit". Please do the correct changes and then try again.
Like this
Hey @Jock
You cannot pass anything in the URL field, you need to pass a valid URL in the action step.

Hey @JockYou cannot pass anything in the URL field, you need to pass a valid URL in the action step.
It would be easier to show a video on what should be here. I am afraid i still do not understand. What url? what do i add, you are acting like i should be an expert in these automations. You may understand this, but I do not.

You need to pass the post URL in the action step which is coming from your trigger response.
You can try the following field and try it accordingly.

Further, you may ask Reddit what else you can pass in the URL field of their action step.
I got it now, thank you.
