Help with event-triggerd function

Support
1

Hi all - I’m having trouble getting my event-triggered function to work, it doesn’t seem to be firing at all.

description

I want to trigger a branch deploy when a form submission is created.

The netlify function doesn’t seem to be firing after form submission.

However, when I manually invoke the function file from my local dev environment, the build trigger works.

submission-created.js content

Here’s the contents of my submission-created.js function file:

'use strict';

const axios = require('axios').default;
require('dotenv').config();

const buildHook = `https://api.netlify.com/build_hooks/${process.env.HOOK_ID}`;
const branch = 'render-comments';
const title = 'triggered+by+submission-created+build+hook';
const params = `?trigger_branch=${branch}&trigger_title=${title}`;

exports.handler = function(event, context, callback) {
  axios
    .post(`${buildHook}${params}`, {})
    .then(function(response) {
      console.log(response);
      callback(null, {
        statusCode: 201,
        body: 'Comment submitted!'
      });
    })
    .catch(function(error) {
      console.log(error);
    });
};

If it’s useful to know - i’m running all this on a development branch, not on the master branch which is deployed in production.

Thanks for any tips!

Actually, after further investigating my netlify site dashboard, I found the log for the function on my dev branch. Here is the error message from the log:

(it seems like an axios error, but not sure why that would be the case since the axios call works for me locally)

It looks like the error is “Page not found”. I suspect that your env vars aren’t accessible. Are you defining these env vars in a netlify.toml file? If so, then you may have run into a bug. That said, can you try setting your env vars in your site’s dashboard instead and see if that helps?
