Getting status as 424 and Failed Dependency error when hitting the web trigger of Forge App

Forge

I have created a forge App with a webtrigger and wrote a function which accepts a set of unique Id’s and return the email id’s from Jira. I see function is getting executed successfully and i can see the final response in the logging. But when it comes to the API end point output i see below error.

Error:
{“timestamp”:“2025-06-09T06:57:57.990+00:00”,“path”:“/x1/x5jmVL4mS4Ndy5uOf7gRo27uAK0”,“status”:424,“error”:“Failed Dependency”,“requestId”:“a8a36d96-5771026”}s

Curl command:
curl --location --request POST ‘https://79697648-7256-40d6-85a3-c3ff9824c642.hello.atlassian-dev.net/x1/x5jmVL4mS4Ndy5uOf7gRo27uAK0’ --header ‘X-Api-Key: 1234’ --header ‘Content-Type: application/json’ --data-raw ‘{

]
}’

Hi,

In my case, when I see this error, one of those 2 solve the problem:

  • restart forge tunnel (if you are using one) - sometimes forge tunnel is not stable
  • regenerate webtrigger url for your particular environment and re-deploy

Hope this will help

Hi

Solution :
Even I faces this While working on web trigger .

Only we have to send response in specific format

Example:

manifest.yml
webtrigger:

  • key: testing-api
    function: TESTING-api
    response: dynamic data by default.
    type: dynamic

function:

  • key: TESTING-api
    handler: testing.run #

Example Handler Function
testing.js

import api, { route } from "@forge/api";
// Resonse give correctly
export async function run(req) {
  try {
    console.log(" Webtrigger invoked: addAttachment (TEST MODE)");

    // Step 1: Parse request
    console.log(" Raw request body:", req.body);

    // Step 2: Use dummy payload
    const body = {
      issueKey: "TEST-123",
      fileName: "dummy.txt",
      fileContentBase64: "ZHVtbXk=", // "dummy" in base64
    };
    console.log(" Dummy payload prepared:", body);

    // Step 3: Prepare dummy Jira API response
    const data = {
      success: true,
      status: 200,
      attachment: {
        id: "10001",
        filename: body.fileName,
        size: 123,
        mimeType: "text/plain",
      },
    };
    console.log(" Fake Jira response generated:", data);

    // Step 4: Returning response
    console.log(" Returning success response with status 200");

    return {
      statusCode: 200,
      contentType: "application/json",
      body: JSON.stringify(data),
    };
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(" Error in addAttachment (TEST MODE):", err);

    const errorData = {
      success: false,
      error: err.message,
    };

    console.log(" Returning error response with status 500");

    return {
      statusCode: 500,
      contentType: "application/json",
      body: JSON.stringify(errorData),
    };
  }
}

Few changes as I’m using forge recent version 12.6.1

modules:
  webtrigger:
    - key: get-projects-trigger
      function: get-projects      
      response:
        type: dynamic

  function:
    - key: get-projects
      handler: projects.run

app:
  runtime:
    name: nodejs22.x
    memoryMB: 256
    architecture: arm64
  id: ari:cloud:ecosystem::app/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

permissions:
  scopes:
    - read:jira-work

project.js file

import api, { route } from "@forge/api";

export async function run(event, context) {
    try {
        console.log("📡 Webtrigger called");

        const response = await api.asApp().requestJira(route`/rest/api/3/project/search`);
        if (!response.ok) {
            console.error(`Jira API failed: ${response.status}`);
            return {
                body: { error: `Jira request failed: ${response.status}` },
                statusCode: response.status,
                contentType: "application/json",
            };
        }

        const data = await response.json();
        console.log("✅ Projects fetched:", data.total);

        return {
            body: JSON.stringify(data),
            statusCode: 200,
            contentType: "application/json",
        };
    } catch (err) {
        console.error("❌ Error:", err);
        return {
            body: { error: err.message },
            statusCode: 500,
            contentType: "application/json",
        };
    }
}

this might help someone.
