This article takes you through custom actions in automation.
Webhooks
Use webhooks to automatically post activities to a URL of your choosing. They can be used to push data to third-party applications directly from an automation.
Click Webhook and the Webhook Properties pop-up box will appear.
Attribute | Description |
Name | Enter any name for the webhook. |
URL | Enter the URL you want to post the data to. |
Content Type | Choose the format you want the data to be posted in. |
Save Response | Allows you to save the response from a webhook and use it to send dynamic email content or in other automation actions. |
Custom Headers | For security purposes, you can choose to enter a custom name-value pair in the webhook header and then reject all webhook calls where this header isn’t present. |
Notify on Failure | Get notified everytime a webhook fails. |
Retry Count | The number of times you want to retry on failure. |
Note: The latest data generated using the webhook is the data retrieved just before the execution of the action you specify in the automation.
For more information on Webhooks, see Webhooks.
