There’s been a bug for a week or two where we were failing to properly handle some Stripe webhook events. I’ve now ported that hook from the Python API to the new Node API and confirmed that it works, which should mean our registration process isn’t subtly broken anymore. (Yikes!) ---

This morning I pushed some updates to our charge email handler to get us better debug info in cases where we fail to mark tasks as contested when users reply to charge emails. Also I think I may have fixed a bug with said worker from a previous attempt. ---

Could you tell us what changed in the API for this? I’ve had no success with POST requests over the past couple of days and I think it may have started about the time you made this change. I used to be able to use code like the sample below, but now it tells me “Missing `task`, `due`, `cents` field(s)” ```auto curl -X POST \ -H "X-Taskratchet-Userid: xx" \ -H "X-Taskratchet-Token: xx" \ -d "task"="task_name_here" \ -d "due"="8/7/2024, 11:59 PM" \ -d "cents"=500 \ https://api.taskratchet.com/api1/me/tasks ``` ---

@alys I’ve pushed a fix which I think should address the problem you’re running into. Can you try again and see if it’s still broken?
