How to use an endpoint with url parameters in Hasura actions

[Tristangva]

I am at the moment trying to convert an endpoint like https://example.com/check?param1=value1 to graphql with Actions. To fill value1, I want to use an input from an input type as I configured in the type configuration. I am unable to find any examples online using this format.

Hey @Tristangva

If I am correct, this - https://example.com/check would be your webhook/action handler for your action right ?

Request URL transform

Acc. to your use case, you can use "Request URL" transform in your action. Reference - https://hasura.io/docs/latest/actions/rest-connectors/#request-url

So if you want to have param1 to have value supplied from your request's body input say arg1, you can supply query param under "Change Request Options" section while creating action via console.

See attached screenshot

So your GraphQL mutation would look like

mutation MyMutation {
  testAction(arg1: {value: "value123"}) {
    name
  }
}

where testAction is my action. And upon hitting your endpoint, in your backend, it will have req.query pointing to { param1: 'value123' }. In your backend, assuming that req is reference to request param passed into function as argument (like function testActionHandler(req, res))

Is this what you were trying to achieve ? Like Passing value, supplied from gql mutation to your custom param ?

Or I might be wrong in understanding your use-case, so do let us know, thanks !
