Zapier Rest Hook Subscription - rest

Question

I’m having some trouble with getting my zapier REST Hook subscribe working. The Authentication setup is working.
I receive the POST subscribe from zapier with the “target_url,event” data. As soon as I POST any data to the “target_url” for some reason the unsubscribe url is then called which disables the “target_url”. So every attempt to POST or GET to the “target_url” just responds with “please unsubscribe me!”. Any help would be appreciated

Post Data To Zapier target_url

}]
Response from Zapier target_url
{
"status": "success",
"attempt": "5a85c059-19c0-4129-a44f-79be9f8ea270",
"id": "10593f34-d7a2-4cdd-b805-6da0d8ace9eb",
"request_id": "5a85c059-19c0-4129-a44f-79be9f8ea270"
}
After the response from the "target_url" the unsubscribe is called.

Answer 1

Hope this helps someone. I spent way to long on this.
When you are testing your Zap will be automatically put in "Off" mode. As I learned that any Zap that is "Off" will automatically "delete/unsubscribe" a subscribe. But when you turn the Zap to "On" the POST subscribe will be triggered again with a "target_url" that is usable.

Answer 2

From the Zapier documentation it looks like you are supposed to return a 201 to confirm receipt of the subscription. This may be needed to confirm registration on the remote server.
You can do this with:
http_response_code(201)
I realize this is assuming that you are working with PHP, but your development environment is unspecified. Does this apply?
