web action with random event id at the url

Lukas1818

I would like to make put request, but i need to pass a unique event-id at the url every time I make the request.
It is possible to use timestamps or a random number for the url?

Not at the moment. For next update coming shortly I have now added $RANDOM_UUID as placeholder for a unique uuid. Is that ok or do you think you need a number?

only number and chars (large and lower case) are allowed.
As example: CD66HAED5npg6074c6pDtLKalHjVfYb2q4Q3LZgrW6o

It would be nice it is possible to set the length of the UUID.

Thanks for your fast answer

No uuid is uuid-4 format so length is the same. But I have also added $RANDOM_INTEGER that you can use instead.

I did test $RANDOM_INTEGER. It does work in the Post Data filed without any issue.

But it seems it does work at the URL filed.

If I use "https://synapse.example.com/_matrix/client/r0/rooms/!cqYLYMBuozlZGjhayQ:example.com/send/m.room.message/$RANDOM_INTEGER?access_token=MDAxYWxvY2F0aW9uIGx1a2FzMTgxOC5kZQowMDEzaWRlbnRpZmllciBrZXkKMDAxMGNpZCBnZW4gPSAxCjAwMmVjaWQgdXNlcl9pZCA9IEBub3RpZmljYXRpb25zOmx1a2FzMTgxOC5kZQowMDE2Y2lkIHR5cGUgPSBhY2Nlc3MKMDAyMWNpZCBub25jZSA9IDk7bWJnWlQ9cipxcW0tbXIKMDAyZnNpZ25hdHVyZSAwyU6QLpCGA4ANYSENcDXJ17d8dLRrV51ZdmAadSBMogo" as URL, it did work one time.

But after this the webhook does not work any more (every webhook, which the same event id, will be ignored by the server).

If I add a string between "$RANDOM_UUID" and "?" it does work also work once.

Because of this I think the $RANDOM_INTEGER in the URL will not be replaced with a random number.
I do not know if the $RANDOM_INTEGER is been ignored or if the number is always the same.

I also notify that if I use  "$1" instead "$RANDOM_INTEGER" it does work, each time I pass a different string as parameter.

You are right. It only gets replaced in the post parameter. I did not think of the url containing it as well. Have added the replace to url part as well now for next release.
