Last updated May 16, 2024
Introduction
Webhooks are a powerful mechanism for real-time communication between applications. By setting up webhooks in Haiper, you can receive instant notifications and updates whenever specific events occur within the platform, such as new tasks being created or updated.
Getting Started
Before setting up webhooks for real-time data sync, ensure you have access to Haiper's webhook settings and permissions to configure webhooks.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Access Webhook Settings: Log in to your Haiper account and navigate to the webhook settings section. Here, you'll find options to create, configure, and manage webhooks for real-time data sync.
- Create New Webhook: Click on the "Create New Webhook" button to initiate the webhook creation process. Provide a name for your webhook and specify the URL where Haiper should send webhook notifications.
- Choose Trigger Events: Select the events or actions that should trigger webhook notifications. Haiper offers a variety of trigger events, such as task creation, task updates, project milestones, and more. Choose the events that are relevant to your integration needs.
- Configure Payload Format: Specify the format and content of the webhook payload. Customize the payload to include relevant data fields and information related to the triggered event, such as task details, project information, or user actions.
- Set Up Authentication: Optionally, configure authentication settings for your webhook to ensure secure communication between Haiper and your webhook endpoint. Choose from authentication methods such as basic authentication, OAuth, or API keys, depending on your integration requirements.
- Test Webhook: Test your webhook to ensure it functions as expected. Trigger the webhook manually or simulate a test event in Haiper to verify that notifications are being sent to your webhook endpoint and received successfully.
- Handle Webhook Notifications: Set up logic on your webhook endpoint to handle incoming webhook notifications. Parse the payload data and process the information according to your integration requirements, such as updating records in your database or triggering automated workflows.
- Monitor and Debug: Monitor your webhook activity and debug any issues that arise during testing or deployment. Use Haiper's webhook logs and error messages to identify and troubleshoot any communication errors or webhook failures.

By setting up webhooks for real-time data sync in Haiper, you can receive instant notifications and updates whenever specific events occur within the platform. Whether you're integrating Haiper with your CRM system, triggering automated workflows, or building custom reporting dashboards, webhooks provide a flexible and efficient way to keep your workflow synchronized and up-to-date.
