Webhook Creation and Setup
Editing And Managing Webhooks
Webhook Creation And Setup
Step One: Navigate to Admin > Developer tools from the left hand navigation menu.
Step Two: Select the Webhooks option from the top of the page, and then the Add A Webhook button on the top right hand side of the page.
Step Three: Fill out the information for this webhook
- Name: Create a name for the webhook.
- URL: Enter the URL the webhook will deliver information to
- Event Types: Toggle the event types you wish the webhook to include info for. You can select one, some, or all of the available event types.
Press Save when you've added all of the required info.
Step Four: When the webhook is saved, it will not yet be available. The webhook must be validated before the information is sent. Find your webhook from the list, and press the three dots and select Edit.
The webhook info will now contain the secret code that can be entered on your receiving side to validate the code. When you've completed that, press the Validate button to ensure the connection is properly set up.
Step Five: Once your webhook has been validated, return to the main webhook page. Select the three dots next to your webhook and press Activate to finalize activation. The webhook will now send a record whenever one of the selected event types occurs.
