Stuck at a step for creating webhook, using Power Automate custom connector and Enterprise Survey123

NigelGriffiths — Fri, 04 Oct 2024 07:59:01 GMT

Hello, this is my first time creating a webhook and I am having some difficulty understand what may be prerequisite knowledge.

I have been following the documentation for both setting up the custom connector in Power Automate cloud:
How To: Create an ArcGIS Survey123 Connector for Microsoft Power Automate for Use with Arc (esri.com)

And for within Survey123:
Webhooks—ArcGIS Survey123 | Documentation

I have reached the end of the documentation for the Power Automate side, but need to get the Payload URL when creating the webhook in Survey123

In Power Automate, the custom connector has been successfully validated and I have been able to retrieve my survey list, and get the schema for my survey:

Which order and where do I need to go to retrieve the Payload URL from Power Automate for use within the Survey123 webhook, and also how exactly should the webhook.events be defined for when simply a new survey is submitted.

Once this is done, how do I then bring this connector into Power Automate cloud to create the flow. So what when a new survey is submitted, this custom connector is activated by the webhook. I suspect it may be something to do with the AddData page but the documentation is not specific enough.

Any further information or guidance would be greatly appreciated, as I feel I am nearly there.

You do NOT need to make webhooks manually for Power Automate (or Make). They are created by those applications.

First, set up the Custom Connector in Power Automate (if you are using Enterprise). Looks like you did this. Great!

Next, just make a flow...

Then, select a survey from the drop-down:

Finally, add literally any other step so you can Save the flow:

Now save the flow. Congrats. A web hook has been made.

Amazing, thank you so much for the help I have tested the webhook and worked like a charm. Turning off the new designer view made it much easier to find the custom connector.

Much appreciated.
