Getting Started with Webhook

Here is the video illustrating the procedure of creating Webhooks.

Webhooks are user-defined callbacks that are triggered by specific events. They help start the execution of a particular task when specific actions take place and push data from one application or server to another on the occurrence of an event (also called trigger). They are useful for the integration of Smartflo with the CRMs of your choice. Also, they provide responses in real-time and hence, eliminate delays in accessing important information.

You can configure Webhook by setting up the HTTP Method, and URL to receive data, and selecting the trigger options, all explained below in detail. Follow the below-mentioned steps to add a Webhook:

Go to Services > Webhook.
Click Add Webhook.

Enter the general details as per the fields described in the table below.
