Create webhooks
Webhooks are notifications that the AppDirect platform can send to specified URLs when certain events occur in the system. You can configure webhooks for the events you want to keep track of, so they are sent to a system where you can collect and analyze the data.
For example, you can create webhooks to send notifications when users are created, when products are modified, when subscriptions are canceled, and so on. These event notifications can be sent to an external customer relationship management (CRM) system so you can track sales, product orders, and subscriptions. Similarly, you can transmit relevant information to enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, billing systems, back ends, and other systems you use for business analysis.
The AppDirect platform sends notifications by HTTP POST request, and the notifications themselves are in JSON format. For moe information, see Webhooks.
