dynamic POST call with button

I am interested to know if bttn can be used the following way. 


I have a REST api (POST) that takes a unique session id and some other dynamic information.    I want the bttn to 'pair' with this POST call.  The tricky bit is the session id changes every time, say, 2 hours based on certain conditions.  How do I get bttn to recognise and use the POST call with right session id automatically?  Is there a physical ID on the bttn server that I can remotely configure the REST call for the button?

You could perhaps use the bttn REST API to dynamically change your bttn's POST data.


The dynamic webhook can be set up as follows:


1) create an API key under my.bt.tn user account settings

2) set your bttn's action as HTTP -> select 'call webhook' option and then select your new API key. Fill in the rest of the form and save your action.

3) have your server make a request to the bt.tn 'hook' API endpoint to set the URL and POST arguments (including the session ID)


4) repeat step 3 every time your session ID changes.


Please see the api documentation for details: my.bt.tn/api
