Setting Up Webhooks in Exactly.ai

Integrating webhooks into your Exactly.ai workflow can greatly enhance your productivity by automating processes and ensuring real-time communication between Exactly.ai and other applications. Webhooks allow you to receive real-time notifications about specific events in your account, enabling you to take immediate action based on those events.

What You Will Need

Before you begin setting up webhooks in Exactly.ai, make sure you have the following:

  • Access to your Exactly.ai account.
  • An endpoint URL where you want to receive the webhook notifications.
  • Basic knowledge of handling HTTP requests.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Webhooks

Follow these steps to set up webhooks in your Exactly.ai account:

  • Log into your Exactly.ai account.
  • Navigate to the 'Settings' section from your dashboard.
  • Select the 'Webhooks' tab from the settings menu.
  • Click on 'Add Webhook' to create a new webhook subscription.
  • Enter your desired endpoint URL in the provided field.
  • Choose the event types for which you want to receive notifications (e.g., 'New Data Entry', 'Data Update', etc.).
  • Click 'Save' to finalize your webhook setup.
  • Test your webhook by triggering the selected events and verifying that your endpoint receives the correct payload.

    • Handling Incoming Webhook Requests

    Once your webhook is set up, you need to ensure that your endpoint can handle incoming webhook requests. It is essential to validate the requests from Exactly.ai to confirm their authenticity and prevent any malicious data from being processed.

    You can validate incoming requests by checking the request headers and payload format. Typically, Exactly.ai will include a signature in the headers which you can use to verify that the request is genuine.

    Webhooks in Exactly.ai provide a powerful mechanism for integrating with external systems and automating workflows. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily set up webhook notifications for various events that matter to your business. Make sure to monitor your endpoint and refine your webhook logic as necessary to best suit your operational processes.
