Problem receiving webhook

OttoFMS

I’m trying to get a webhook from strava.com back to ottofms. I’ve reached out to Strava support and they seem to be at a loss as to what my problem is.

If I hit the url:
https://[my.server.name]/otto/receiver/Strava.fmp12/channel_activities?&apiKey=[my_fms_key]

the ottofms webhook response works great, a new record is created in the OttoReceiver layout… perfect.

I’m following Strava’s webhook subscription instructions here, I’m suppose to make a POST request. I do so as such:

curl --location --request POST 'https://www.strava.com/api/v3/push_subscriptions?client_id=[my_id]&client_secret=[my_secret]&verify_token=abcdef&callback_url=https://[my.server.name]/otto/receiver/Strava.fmp12/channel_activities?&apiKey=[fms key]’

However I consistently get 400 Bad Request. Strava support seemed to think perhaps having the key on the callback_url was causing an issue. If I don’t include the key obviously it won’t work. Or perhaps the fm server wasn’t responding within 2 seconds. The error seems to be immediate.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey Matt,

I suspect it is because of the “&” in the url that you’re sending as a query parameter there. It is probably splitting out that ampersand. If you url-encode the callback-url that you’re sending so that it is not reading it as a different query parameter does it work?

Hi Kyle, thanks for the response. I tried removing the ampersand. I also tried url encoding. neither seemed to make a difference.
