Setting up Webhooks

Webhooks are a way that you can listen to real-time events from Acceptd. A webhook is a free, open standard that allows multiple applications to communicate. Acceptd supports webhooks for a number of different events.

In order to set up a webhook in Acceptd, you'll first need to create an endpoint in your receiving system. Once you have a URL ready to accept webhook events you may configure it using these steps, even if your organization is not currently accepting applications in Acceptd.

1. Navigate to Organization and select Integrations from the dropdown menu
2. Click the Create Integration button and select Webhookto create a new webhook
3. Complete the fields on the next page:
   1. Name - The name you'll use to identify the webhook in Acceptd
   2. Payload URL - The URL where webhook events should be delivered. For data security, the Payload URL must use HTTPS
   3. Events - The event(s) that should trigger a POST request to the Payload URL. Multiple events can be enabled for a single webhook, or separate webhooks can be configured for each event type.
   4. Enable this webhook? - Check this box to activate the webhook

When a webhook is configured correctly, Acceptd will send send a POST request to your webhook's URL and respond via JSON. You can use the Secret Token to verify the authenticity of webhook notifications sent from Acceptd using Hash-based Message Authentication Code (HMAC), SHA-256 Encryption.

Clicking on an existing webhook will display it's Recent Activity. If a webhook notification fails 5 consecutive times, the webhook will be automatically disabled and your organization's administrative contact will receive an email alert.
