Hi all, I’m using Glide’s “Trigger Webhook” action to send a payload to my backend, and I’m trying to include a custom field called session\_patch\_id as a shared secret for basic authentication. In my test environment (like webhook.site), I can see the session\_patch\_id sometimes appears in the JSON payload — but other times it’s completely missing, even though the field is hardcoded into the webhook body. Here’s a sample of the payload I’m expecting: { “order\_id”: “abc123”, “amount”: 7900, “reader\_id”: “tmr\_XXXXX”, “attempt\_number”: 2, “session\_patch\_id”: “update\_batch\_9472-patch” } but on many runs, it gets sent without the session\_patch\_id, like this: { “order\_id”: “abc123”, “amount”: 7900, “reader\_id”: “tmr\_XXXXX”, “attempt\_number”: 2 } Is Glide removing the field? The data is stored on a single row within my admin table, much like the reader\_id. ---

What type of column is it? Is it a computed or non-computed column? ---

non computed. Its just a text column. ---

That does seem odd. What do you see in the Glide workflow run logs? Is it also missing from there? You say that the value is stored in your “Admin” table. Is that also your User Profiles table? If not, are you running the workflow in the context of your Admin table? If not, how is the workflow accessing the value? ---

The payload I showed before is what I see in the run logs when I send to webhook.site. When I send to my backend, my code is rejecting with a 401 because its not passing my authentication. Admin table is my user profiles table yes. I am not running my workflow in the context of the admin table. The workflow is accessing the value through user profile which has been working fine for the reader\_id ![Screenshot 2025-06-30 at 11.38.37 am](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/f/3fe45ceac733a694903d8649655b6a59bb18ffa4.png) ---

Only other thing I can think of is are you triggering the workflow as the same user every time? And does that Session column have a value in every row in your User Profile table? And again, what do you see for the data payload sent in the workflow run log? Other than that, I’m about out of ideas… ---

Yep. Triggering the workflow as the same user. Only one record in the user profile table. ![Screenshot 2025-06-30 at 11.51.18 am](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/e/7ee8b9325663ef48a6a371297c385dbc2cacfe92.png) ---

I have even tried deleting the session column and creating a new one. Renaming the column. Doesn’t work. I could try putting that value in a different table, but don’t love that as a solution. A bit bummed this functionality isn’t very consistent. It must be user error though right? Many others would be experiencing this behaviour too… ---

Can you try clearing your cache and send it again? I don’t see any reason why reader\_id would populate and not session\_patch\_id. ---

What happens if you try it from the published App instead of the builder? ---

Im primarily testing from the published app. Actually, don’t think I’ve ever triggered it from the builder. ---

Okay, so I just tried from the builder and the session id is in the run log: { “body”:{ “amount”:2400 “order\_id”:“mYPfF5RxXyIURVHWOOfh” “reader\_id”:“tmr\_\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*” “attempt\_number”:1 “session\_patch\_id”:“update\_batch\_9472-patch” } “endpoint”:“[https://webhook.site/59959f73-67b8-4f95-a4f0-e0e7ea50a697](https://webhook.site/59959f73-67b8-4f95-a4f0-e0e7ea50a697)” } No clue why it worked that time. ---

Does that session value ever change? If so, when? ---

Never changes. I only created it because I realised I couldn’t send a secret key in glide headers. So created a secret key on the user table. Then I named it something “non obvious” like session\_patch\_id because I thought maybe glide didn’t like the fact that I was passing my secret key in the payload. ---

Okay, that’s just weird. Couple of suggestions: - Add a “Wait for condition” immediately before the Trigger Webhook, and check that the Session value is not empty - If you have a plan that supports it, use Call API instead of Trigger Webhook. Then you can pass a secret in the header. ---

Thank you. I’ll try that. I don’t have the API plan… bit too pricey for my needs.
