Webhooks

Webhooks are an efficient way to send important data automatically from one application to another. Webhooks are often used for:

• Sending you a message when you're not online.
• Telling different delivery services about an order.
• Changing the price of a product.
• Collecting important data.
• Connecting with your accounting software.
• Placing an order.

When a webhook fails, an email is sent to the account owner's email address. This email is sent only when the webhook is first created and if a webhook is failing. If the webhook destination keeps sending a response other than 200 status, the webhook subscription is automatically deleted from your Popup admin.

Create a webhook

When an event occurs, such as a user sign-up or account information update, this can trigger a notification to another application. This allows the second application to take actions, such as updating its own records or triggering a process.

Steps

1. From the Popup admin, go to Settings > Webhooks.
2. Click Create webhook.
3. Choose an Event and Format, then enter an URL.
4. After the URL is validated, click Create. 

Edit a webhook

Steps

1. From the Popup admin, go to Settings > Webhooks.
2. Select the Edit icon beside the specific webhook you want to edit.
3. Make the necessary changes on the Event, Format, or URL.
4. After the URL is validated, click Save.

Delete a webhook

Steps

1. From the Popup admin, go to Settings > Webhooks.
2. Click the Trash icon beside the specific webhook you want to remove.
3. Click Confirm.

If the webhook destination consistently returns a response other than 200 status, the webhook subscription is automatically removed from your Popup admin.

Send test notification for a webhook

You can send a test notification email to preview how the emails will look when they are sent to your chosen destination.

Steps

1. From the Popup admin, go to Settings > Webhooks.
2. Click the three dots icon next to the specific event, then click Send test notification.
