Call a n8n webhook

You need to declare the new action with its scope in the users.js model

forest/users.js

// forest/users.js
const Liana = require('forest-express-sequelize');

Liana.collection('users', {
  actions: [
    {
      name: 'Notify with slack',
      type: 'single',
    },
  ],
});

Then implement the action as needed in the route route action:

routes/users.js

// routes/users.js
const express = require('express');
const router = express.Router();
const Liana = require('forest-express-sequelize');
const models = require('../models');

const Liana = require('forest-express-sequelize');
const superagent = require('superagent');

router.post(
  '/actions/notify-with-slack',
  Liana.ensureAuthenticated,
  async (request, response) => {
    const { query, user } = request;
    const [userId] = await new RecordsGetter(
      models.user,
      user,
      query
    ).getIdsFromRequest(request);

    try {
      await superagent
        .post('https://user.app.nn.cloud/webhook/123456/abcde/')
        .send({ userId });
      response.send({ success: 'Called webhook' });
    } catch (e) {
      return response
        .status(400)
        .send({ error: `Failure calling webhook: ${e.message}` });
    }
  }
);

module.exports = router;
