Is it possible to identify which Flow triggered a specific webhook?

Results of attempting to include `$flow` in the webhook payload. Previewing the webhook: Note the populated “None”.

Thanks, @alex.hong . You can set up a webhook action in a Flow, but currently the only information that can be sent to a webhook destination is profile properties and event properties. Unfortunately, we maintain a Klaviyo integration on behalf of several Shopify merchants so polling the track and identity endpoint isn’t a very efficient workaround. To summarize, Flows can be set up with different triggers. We really just need a way of sending the trigger type in the webhook request. When listing events using the newest API version, the event has the following properties: "event_properties": { ... "$flow": "<FLOW_ID>", "$event_id": "<EVENT_ID>" ...},...The `$flow` property could potentially be a viable workaround, as we could use the API to determine more about what flow triggered the webhook, however, ‘$flow’ isn’t always available and it’s never available as an event property when viewing the event from the Flow UI.

Hi @nickriley , Can you provide some further information on this? It is possible to set up a list/segment-triggered flow (please see here: Guide to Creating a List-Triggered Flow ) and also a metric-triggered flow (please see Guide to Creating a Metric-Triggered Flow ), but not a flow triggered by a webhook. Can you please provide some further information so we can see if there is a workaround available for you? @alex.hong, in this case, I wouldn’t want to trigger a flow by a webhook. I would like to make a general webhook handler for Klaviyo Flows where I can identify which Flow sent the request to my destination URL, and do this on the handler side. Perhaps being able to send the event or Flow ID in the webhook JSON payload configured in the Klaviyo Flow UI if possible?

Is it possible to set a custom "$source" property value via API?

Hey @alex.hong , Thanks for the welcome!To clarify, I suppose it’s not just have it be set to our company name. For our use case, we maintain several apps that add profiles to a specific list. Because these apps are just using the Klaviyo REST API, all the profiles get their $source value set to “API”. It would be really nice if we could differentiate between these. The source can be manually set to a custom string in the UI, but I’m having trouble finding any documentation for setting it via API. Regards,Nick
