Does the "When a HTTP request is received" trigger support optional elements?

Posted on by Jakob Gillinger

I'm building a flow that should get triggered whenever a webhook from Jira is activated. There are some elements that I'd like to use, but are optional and have the value "Null" if unassigned. Normally, to allow both a string and the null in a property, you'd write something like:

"types": ["string", "null"}

However, from what I've experienced, the event seems to only pass the values of elements that have a single type assigned to them - leaving them empty otherwise. But if I only use "string", any request with the value as null will fail - I can't use something like "minimum" either, since the element is present, just incorrectly assigned.

Is it even possible to have the event default strings with null to "", or do I have to make sure any value I care about is guaranteed to not be null?

@cegekaJG It should be possible to edit the Schema

{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"name": {
"type": "string",
"required": false
},
"age": {
"type": "integer",
"required": true
}
}
}

Like I said, that doesn't work, because the element is present - the problem is that it is assigned null. So instead of
"timeZone": "Western Europe"
the webhook sends:
"timeZone": null
