state and description in your request body to customize the masked email's state and description.Fastmail API Access: You will need valid API credentials for Fastmail configured with HTTP Header Authentication.
Authorization Setup: Optionally set up authorization if your webhook is exposed to the internet to prevent misuse.
Custom Webhook Request: Use a tool like curl or create a shortcut on macOS/iOS to send the POST request to the webhook with the necessary JSON payload, like so:
curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' https://your-n8n-instance/webhook/87f9abd1-2c9b-4d1f-8c7f-2261f4698c3c -d '{"state": "pending", "description": "my mega fancy masked email"}'
This template simplifies the process of integrating masked email functionality into your projects or workflows and can be extended for various use cases.
Feel free to use the companion shortcut I've also created. Please update the authorization header in the shortcut if needed.
