Create your first webhook URL

Create a new webhook

1. Go to the Webhooks page
2. Click on the "Create" button
3. Fill in the form with the following information:
   • Name: The name of the webhook
   • Application: The application to link the webhook to
   • Device: The device to link the webhook to
   • Message: The message to send when the webhook is triggered
4. Click on the "Create" button
5. Copy the URL of the webhook

In the message we specify * to get all the JSON and determine what parameters we need.

How JSON parser works

Webhooks are essential for real-time data transmission between applications. Follow these steps to configure webhooks efficiently and ensure seamless integration with your systems.

1. Define Your JSON Payload Structure
   Identify the data format you wish to receive. To capture the full dataset, use the wildcard symbol * in your configuration. This ensures the entire JSON payload is delivered without filtering.
2. Extract Specific Data from Nested JSON
   For targeting individual fields within nested objects, use the syntax %objectName.field%. For example, %params.name% extracts the name value from the params object.

{
  "event": {
    "title": "New Order",
    "message": "A new order has been placed with ID 12345",
    "tags": ["order", "new"],
    "users": [
      {"first": "Dale", "last": "Murphy", "age": 44, "nets": ["ig", "fb", "tw"]},
      {"first": "Roger", "last": "Craig", "age": 68, "nets": ["fb", "tw"]},
      {"first": "Jane", "last": "Murphy", "age": 47, "nets": ["ig", "tw"]}
    ]
  }
}

To set up the webhook, you would configure it like this:

• If you want to display the entire JSON, simply use the *
• To get the title of the event, use %event.title%
• To get the message, use %event.message%
• To get the tags, use %event.tags%

Title: %event.title%
Message: %event.message%
Tags: %event.tags%
Users: %event.users.0%
First user: %event.users.0.first% %event.users.0.last%

Here is an example of how the output would look using the provided configuration based on the example JSON:

Title: New Order
Message: A new order has been placed with ID 12345
Tags: ["order","new"]
Users: {"age":44,"first":"Dale","last":"Murphy","nets":["ig","fb","tw"]}
First user: Dale Murphy

More information about the variables can be found in the GJSON Path Syntax.
