Webhooks

Webhooks are notifications sent by an application to a target URL as soon as an event happens. Typically, you can define specific events to receive notifications for.

For example, you can configure a webhook trigger to create new trigger events when Urgent tickets are created. Your recipe can then send an SMS message to notify the corresponding account manager.

NOTE

This connector doesn't require you to establish a connection.

The Workato webhooks gateway listens to all events. When an event is received, the gateway will direct this to the appropriate recipe. This trigger event will result in a job and execute the actions in that recipe.

Rate limits

This trigger is subject to our webhook gateway's limits.

Payload size limits

The payload size limit for the webhooks trigger is 10 MB.

Additional considerations

Consider the following information before you use the Webhooks connector:

• The maximum number of webhook recipes that can listen to the same URL is 100.

• Webhook recipes can't use the same URL for different webhook types.

  • For example, you can't use the same webhook address https://webhooks.workato.com/webhooks/rest/{UNIQUE_ID}/lead with PUT/POST with JSON payload as the Webhook type in one recipe and GET request as the Webhook type in another recipe.

  Webhook types must be the same across all identical URLs
