Voiceflow not seeing HTTP POST request handler's response data
I have a simple php http POST request handler (HANDLER below). When I make a request to it with my own php file , it succeeds and gets the returned status, message and data items that the HANDLER sends. (REQUESTOR OUTPUT below). However, when I call the handler using VoiceFlow's API step, it succeeds, but the response does not contain the status, message and data items, which are in the response I send. (see VOICEFLOW RESPONSE DISPLAY). Why not?
--------------------HANDLER
<?php
// Check if the request method is POST
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] === "POST") {
// Process the request
$postData = $_POST; // Get the POST data
// Perform any necessary processing or validation
// Generate response
$response = array(
"status" => "success!",
"message" => "Request processed successfully",
"data" => $postData // Return any data as needed
);
// Send JSON response
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($response);
} else {
// Handle other request methods (optional)
http_response_code(405); // Method Not Allowed
echo "This endpoint only accepts POST requests.";
}
?>
--------------------- REQUESTOR OUTPUT
Response: {"status":"success","message":"Request processed successfully","data":{"username":"john","password":"password123"}}
--------------------- VOICEFLOW RESPONSE DISPLAY (no status, message nor data included. why?)
