I tried using a tool API request , and it looks like it allows setting Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded required by Stripe, but it seems like it keeps sending the request body as json, and I keep getting an error. Has anyone resolved this issue or found a PCI-compliant workaround? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1412127320080126047/1412127320508071956/image.png?ex=68b7298d&is=68b5d80d&hm=d6c3e75707da6d2e4bcb2024112591e6ff5dd3f192b1e7a0c3aa7482755e3c4e&

Did you see a body-type function there?

No....I got your point. So, the task is not doable from within VAPI, correct?

Hi Harter, To make POST requests to Stripe API endpoints directly from Vapi, you'll need to use webhooks for server authentication. You can authenticate your server endpoints by using a secret token, custom headers, or OAuth2. For example, with custom headers, you might configure it like this:

json
{
  "server": {
    "url": "https://your-server.com/webhook",
    "headers": {
      "Authorization": "Bearer your-api-key"
    }
  }
}

If you choose OAuth2 authentication, you'll need to configure OAuth2 credentials for Vapi to obtain and refresh access tokens. For more information, you can refer to the [Server Authentication documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/server-url/server-authentication). Let me know if you need further assistance!

Hi, Thank you for your reply! The issue I can't figure out is how to send a request with body formatted as application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Does VAPI have this capability? Please let me know

I am not sure it does,. You can create a workflow to convert the message/info from json into any format you want before sending to the stripe API.

Thanks for the idea! You mean the VAPI workflow?

No, using make.com

Hi Harter, Yes, you can make POST requests to external APIs like the Stripe API from Vapi, especially within a workflow. You would typically do this by configuring a tool using the Vapi dashboard that can make HTTP requests to any external API endpoint. Here's a simplified example: 1. **Create a Tool**: In the Vapi dashboard, navigate to 'Tools' and create a new tool. Specify the API endpoint you want to call (e.g., Stripe) and configure any required parameters and headers, including an API key if needed for authentication. 2. **Integrate the Tool in a Workflow**: Use this tool within your workflow to handle specific actions or gather data as necessary. For more details, you might want to refer to our [E-commerce order management workflow](https://docs.vapi.ai/workflows/examples/ecommerce-order-management) example which demonstrates integrating with external APIs. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
