Webhooks setup wizard

The webhooks wizard makes it easy to test and configure a webhook trigger for your recipe. The guided setup takes you through:

• setting up your unique webhook address
• listening to a sample webhook event

When an event is received, the wizard automatically configures the trigger based on that event.

You may exit this setup wizard at any point if you wish to configure the trigger manually.

Create a webhook trigger using the setup wizard

1

Create the recipe by choosing the Trigger from a webhook option from the list of recipe starting points.

3

Provide a meaningful name in the Event name field. This name is used to generate a unique webhook address. Click Next to start listening for webhook events from your app.

To avoid recipes receiving webhook events from multiple sources, the event name must be unique across all your webhook recipes.

When you see the following screen, the setup wizard is ready to listen for webhook events from your app. Click the Copy button to copy the unique webhook address. This URL is used to register the webhook in your app.

For example, you can register this URL as a Payload URL in Eventbrite, shown here:

Inspect the webhook headers and payload to ensure that the event was received correctly. This sample webhook event serves as the template for all future events. Workato uses the payload and header data to configure the other parts of the trigger.

Click Skip guided setup if you plan to configure the trigger manually.

When you are satisfied, click the Setup webhook button to complete the setup.
