How To: View WebCoRE Variables in SharpTools Dashboards

[josh]

You should be able to use the same WebCoRE steps from the first post, but instead of posting to myjson.com, you would POST to a SharpTools Rule which has an HTTP Trigger:

Create / Edit the WebCoRE Piston

1. Update your WebCoRE piston to PUT a local variable to myjson.com
   
   Note: Global variables use ‘@’ in their name and wont work with the image generator, so if you are using global variables, copy those to a local variable
   

   

2. Be sure the piston executes at least once so you can make sure the content in myjson.com is updated as you expect
   

So in my case, I created a new SharpTools rule with an HTTP Trigger and an action to copy the value that is received from WebCoRE into a SharpTools variable.

In this example, WebCoRE is sending over a variable called myValue and I’m copying it into a SharpTools variable called $myText.

Note that it’s completely optional to define the parameter name in the Trigger section, but sometimes it’s helpful almost as a form of documentation to yourself for what you’re expecting to receive.

Then I updated the existing WebCoRE piston and changed the ‘Method’ to POST and the URL to the HTTP Trigger URL for my new SharpTools Rule (make sure to save the SharpTools rule first so the HTTP trigger becomes active!).

As noted in the original post above, WebCoRE global variables use ‘@’ in their name and wont work, so if you are using global WebCoRE variables, copy those to a local WebCoRE variable to send across.
