Update Webhook Docs
in progress

Update: Everything below was written on these docs https://www.taskade.com/feedback/automations/p/support-for-full-payload-parsing-in-webhooks.
These docs would lead users to believe that receiving payloads is not supported - however after playing around I realized if you know the exact shape of the data you can configure the webhook trigger accordingly.

I’ve been trying to integrate meeting transcripts with Taskade using inbound webhooks, and I’ve run into a couple of limitations that are making it tricky:
Nested JSON / Payload Parsing:
Right now, Taskade only seems to support flat key-value string parameters. Many services (like the one i am using) send structured JSON payloads — with nested objects like "data": { id: "123", title: "Test" }. It would be super helpful if Taskade could parse full JSON payloads, or at least allow referencing values inside nested structures (e.g., data.title).
Limiting users to just params for sending data makes sending long doesn't feel ideal. Having support for raw payload parsing would make it much easier to handle and process longer content in automations.
Just wanted to throw this out there as a feature request.
Thanks for all the great work 🙌

This is a completely valid point — documentation that implies a capability exists (full payload parsing in webhooks) when the actual behavior does not match is genuinely misleading and wastes developer time. We take doc accuracy seriously and this needs to be corrected.
We are flagging the webhook documentation for an immediate review and update to accurately reflect what is currently supported versus what is planned. The docs should never create false expectations about payload parsing behavior, and any gap between documented behavior and actual API response needs a clear note. If you can point us to the specific sections that were most misleading (trigger payload structure, response format, etc.) that will speed up the correction. Thank you for the detailed writeup — this level of specificity makes it much easier for us to fix both the docs and potentially the underlying implementation. We will update this thread once the docs are corrected.

Hi there, thanks for your post! What link did you mean to provide? It seemed that you linked your forum post instead, so I'm not exactly sure what docs you are referring to.
