Webhooks allow 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 of whether there’s been a data update response. Webhooks receive calls through HTTP POSTs only when the connected system has a data update.
Using Webhooks or API
To set up a webhook, you have to register a URL. That URL will accept data and then activate a workflow. You can specify the situations where data will be delivered.
To connect to an API or a Webhook, you first need to access your API authentication token:
- Open the platform.
- Click Settings.
- Click Integrations.
- Under "Webhooks", click Connect.
- Click Copy to Clipboard to copy the token.
- Paste the API token into your other apps as needed.
If you do not see your API token there or you do not have an integrations tab, please contact support for assistance.
