How do I configure webhooks to notify events to an external system?

About this task

Webhooks are used by applications to provide real-time information to other applications.

You can create webhooks in Developer Portal to notify the specified events to an external application URL. For example, an API is published, or an application is shared. For the list of events that you can notify, see List of events.

This use case starts when you want to configure a webhook and ends when you have configured one.

To configure webhooks

  1. Click the menu options icon from the title bar and click Administration.
  2. Click Webhooks from the left pane.
  3. Click Create.
  4. Provide the URL of the destination system to which the notification has to be sent.
  5. From the Type list, select the type of destination that you want to send notification:
    • System. To notify an external system endpoint.
    • Provider. To notify a provider endpoint.
  6. Select one of the following from the Security field:
    • Basic. Select this option if the destination requires basic authentication, and provide the corresponding user name and password.
    • None. Select this option if the destination requires no authentication.
  7. Select the required event type.

    You can select more than one event type.

  8. Click Save.

    Your changes are saved.

The webhook is added. Notifications for the selected events are triggered and sent to the specified endpoint.
