How To Use The Custom Webhook Action?

The Custom Webhook Action is a game-changer for businesses that rely on real-time communication between their CRM and third-party services. It simplifies data sharing by allowing you to send and receive information directly to and from external systems. With features like customizable HTTP methods, secure authorization options, and seamless parameter setup, it helps streamline workflows, ensuring accuracy and saving time. Here’s how to use it effectively.

In the workflow builder, pick a suitable Trigger and then select the Custom Webhook Action.

📌NOTE: This is a Premium workflow action.

Select Event

Start by choosing the event that will trigger the webhook. For example, select options like CUSTOM, POST, or GET based on your requirements.

Select Method

Pick the HTTP method that best suits your data exchange needs:

• POST: For sending data to a server.
• GET: For retrieving data.
• PUT: For updating existing data.
• DELETE: For removing data.

Fill URL

Enter the URL where the data should be sent. This is the endpoint for the external service you want to interact with. No coding is needed—simply paste the URL, and you’re ready to go.

Authorization Method

Choose the appropriate security method to protect your data and ensure secure access. Options include API keys, bearer tokens, or other authorization techniques specific to the external system.

📌NOTE:

• For Basic auth, Bearer token, and API key authentication methods, you can view existing keys and create new ones. 
• Keys are user-specific (only the creator can manage them), and for security purposes, key values are not displayed - only the assigned name.
• Updating a key will automatically delete the previously existing one.
• Keys can be populated using custom values you have created.

Headers & Query Parameters

Headers provide additional context for your data request, such as content type or authentication details. Query parameters allow you to filter or customize the response data, making your requests more efficient and precise.

Content-Type

Specify the format of the data being sent, such as application/json or application/x-www-form-urlencoded, to ensure compatibility with the receiving system.

Raw Body

Use the Raw Body section to include custom values or specific information in your data payload. You can also check the box to Save responses from the webhook, allowing you to store and review them for future reference.
