Using token in webhooks

Support
1

I would like to use a webhook for creating an entry in a guacamole database. Therefore I need a token for using the guacamole api getting it by authentificated with user and password. With curl it looks like this:

TOKEN=$(curl -s -k -X POST https://localhost/api/tokens -d 'username=admin&password=xxx' | jq -r .authToken)

This token can now be used in the header of a next curl command.
How can I do this with webhooks? Or must I use shellhooks for this case?
Kind regards

If the ask is “can I make webhooks make a call somewhere, pick something from the response and use the said thing in a following request” then I’m afraid you’d need shellhooks for that.

Would it be possible to generate the token once and use it every time the webhook fires?

Yes, this is the ask :smiley:
No, it is not possible to generate the token once among others because of valid time.
So, I will have look at using shellhooks for this.
