Using GCP Cloud Function to create a Python Webhook

Create your Cloud Function

Go to Cloud Function inside Google Cloud Console and click on Create Function

Configuring your Cloud Function

Write the name of the function then select "Allow unauthenticated invocations" in the Trigger and click Next

Setup the Code

In Runtime, select Python 3.11. Delete the initial contents of main.py and requirements.txt.

Create your webhook listener code in main.py

By default your source code will have two files (main.py - contains code and requirements.txt - dependencies)
The "Entry Point" will the name of your main "def" function.

Copy and Paste the code to your main.py in your cloud function
---------------------------
import os
import functions_framework
import json
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import requests

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/test', methods=['POST'])
def webhooktest(*args, **kwargs):
   jsondata = request.json
   data = jsondata.get("payload") 
   print(data)
   return(data)

Copy the contents of requirements.txt below to your requirements.txt in cloud function

Deploying your cloud function

Click on "Deploy" to deploy your cloud function. The cloud function is successfully deployed when you see the green circle with check

Get the generated cloud url

Done. The url generated is your webhook url.

Below is the Python Test Script for sending data to your webhook url

import requests
from requests import request
import json

webhook_url = "https://us-central1-xxx-xxxx.cloudfunctions.net/webhook_test/test"

testdata = {"current": {"url": "https://test.com"}, "payload": {"signup": {"method": "home page", "referrer": "https://auth.wehelpcode.com", "destination": "https://test.com"}, "user": {"id": "4465-a4b4-640a81c5bd75", "first_name": "Code", "last_name": "Gray", "email": "test@test.com"}}}
testresponse = request('POST', webhook_url, json=testdata)
print(testresponse.text)
