Describe the problem/error/question

The webhook node displays no body when using the new Quickbooks payload format (same as in https://help.developer.intuit.com/s/question/0D5TR00001Agpj60AB/webhooks-with-cloud-event-payload-format-sends-empty-payload).

the "body":{} param is missing!

(This is the result with Raw Body = TRUE, with Raw Body = FALSE, it at least shows the "body", but it's null ({}))

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to the new Quickbooks payload format not being properly handled by the webhook node, resulting in an empty body.

Guidance

  • The rawBody option is set to true, which might be causing the issue, as the payload format has changed. Try setting rawBody to false to see if the body is populated, even if it's null.
  • Verify that the binaryPropertyName option is correctly set to data, as this might affect how the payload is handled.
  • Check the Intuit documentation for any specific requirements or changes in the new payload format that might be causing the issue.
  • Test the webhook with a different payload format or a minimal test payload to isolate the issue.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue seems to be related to configuration and payload handling.

Notes

The issue might be specific to the new Quickbooks payload format and the n8n version being used (1.123.27). Further investigation and testing are needed to determine the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by setting rawBody to false and handling the null body in the subsequent nodes, until the root cause is determined and a proper fix is implemented.
