BetterCloud Custom Integration / Pre-Request Script Authorization Question

I can re-post there if its easier.

so in your pre-request script after you've gotten the API key, you ultimately have to return request data back which is used to execute the action you're creating

I'll see if I can find an example. @jb.lovell@justin.little@catherine.achukwu maybe be able to help out as well

Looking for an example real quick

From your script above, I'm guessing you'll need to grab the token out of there and callback to the webhook with it in the headers. In the video we're manipulating the webhook URL, but the same applies to the webhook headers.

its not really data transform but a an action pre-request

What you could do is, create a webhook that is making the same request you're making in the script. That'll return a token as a dynamic field so you can use it in later actions, if that's what you're looking for.

Yep, webhook to get the token and webhook to take the action, taking the token in as a dynamic field.

got it, i'll give that a go.

Really, best practice is to use an action pre-request script to get the token, then set that in headers for the attached webhook. Essentially the same thing you see in that video, just change out the getUserId function for a getToken function.
This will likely give you the best results. You can re-use that script for any other actions this was as well.

which is what i was trying to do, but didn't realize that the action was a webhook
