Accessingwebhook payload within a flow

Hi, I’m new to WP webhooks and trying to use it for my first automation flow. Scenario is that I’d like to listen for an incoming webhook (via received_http_request trigger), then run some custom PHP code (via custom_action). So, a simple 2-step flow seems to be the answer.

The incoming webhook gets intercepted OK, but I can’t figure out how to access the JSON payload within my custom PHP function. I can see that payload data as being available within the Action settings for the custom_action step (see screenshot below) but when I try to access it within the PHP function, the $response_body array doesn’t have anything to do with the webhook data

Here’s what I see when I dump down the $response_body array

So, instead of seeing my incoming webhook payload in the [content] section, it seems I’m getting some internal WP Webhooks data in there instead. What am I missing?

Also, I see references to some helper functions in the example provided (eg. WPWHPRO()->helpers->validate_request_value) but I can’t find anywhere that documents this. Any pointers, please?

I’ve got around this issue temporarily by passing the ID field I’m looking for into the php function using the $identifier parameter for the function (as per the initial screenshot), but I’d really like to know how to access the entire webhook payload within the PHP function itself.

Thanks

Julian
