Webhooks API allows you to subscribe to events connected to a business account with your integration installed. Instead of making an API call, Webhooks can send an HTTP request to an endpoint you configure.
How are Webhooks and APIs different?
Webhooks and APIs differ in how they make requests. APIs will place calls for data regardless if there’s been a data update response or not. Webhooks receives calls through HTTP POSTs only when the connected system has a data update.
Using Webhooks
To set up a webhook, you have to register a URL. That URL will accept data and then can activate a workflow. You can specify the situations where data will be delivered.
To connect:
- Open the platform.
- Click Settings.
- Click Integrations.
- Under "Webhooks", click Connect.
Your token will be displayed in the API Token field.
- Click Copy to Clipboard to copy the token. You can then paste it in other apps.
