I have tried using the logic in homey using the URL provided with the myevent tag and = it to a name and paste it into the customer webhook in ubiquiti protect alarm and set as POST and it doesnt work when triggered. Anyone facing the same issue? Or did i use a wrong webhook for this? Not expert with webhook need some help on this.

What’s the value of `(ⓐ Tag)` in the first card? It should be `my_event`

Just an FYI, Might not be possible to use a tag in the trigger card, and has to be written.

what i did was … [https://webhook.homey.app/](https://webhook.homey.app/) [homey id] /my\_event?tag=fingerprint is place in unifi protect alarm webhook post
where fingerprint is my tag value.
so in the trigger i check tag is exactly fingerprint.

The “When” card should contain the _event_ name, so `my_event`

so putting this in the unifi protect UI for post
[https://webhook.homey.app/](https://webhook.homey.app/) [homey id] /my\_event?tag=fingerprint is not correct? Cos my\_event doesnt has a naming convention here.
should i change to …my\_event=fingerprint?tag=yes

If you have this:
The URL should be:
```auto
https://webhook.homey.app/[homey id]/event_from_ubiquiti?tag=fingerprint
```

Any idea if it is also possible to pass json or variable from Unifi Protect?
Or do I need to hard code each tag in Unifi Protect Alarm for Homey?
According to this article the Unifi HTTP POST Alarm should send additional information but I haven’t been able to capture it with ‘tag’:

Homey’s webhooks are very limited, only “event” and “tag” (passed in the URL) are supported.

Thanks for your reply!
This triggered me to check if someone had made an alternative webhook app and there is 🙂
> **[Webhooks](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/skogsaas.webhooks/Webhooks/)**
>
> Webhooks with full access to request headers, query and body
When using the webhook URL as can be found in the config of this app
(e.g. [https://webhooks.athom.com/webhook/123456789abcde?homey=](https://webhooks.athom.com/webhook/123456789abcde?homey=)‘_homey id of your homey_’&event=‘_event name as defined in unifi protect_’)
The json can now be read…
E.g. these Unifi Protect Alarm settings
now returns the expected json:
```auto
{
"alarm": {
"name": "Person of interest (Webhook)",
"sources": [
{
"device": "E0631DABCDE",
"type": "include"
}
],
"conditions": [
{
"condition": {
"type": "is",
"source": "face_of_interest"
}
},
{
"condition": {
"type": "is",
"source": "face_unknown"
}
},
{
"condition": {
"type": "is",
"source": "face_known"
}
}
],
"triggers": [
{
"device": "E0631DABCDE",
"value": "John Doe",
"key": "face_known",

},
{
