Webhooks

Webhooks are the opposite of API calls. Instead of you asking Wemob for information, Wemob sends you information when something interesting happens. You give Wemob a URL you control, and it sends a POST request to that URL every time one of the events you've subscribed to fires.

What webhooks are#

Common reasons to use webhooks:

• Post a message in your team chat when a deploy succeeds or fails
• Send yourself an email when someone makes a purchase from your store
• Sync new orders into your own back-office system
• Kick off a build or backup job when something changes

Create a webhook#

Available events#

• app.created — a new project was made
• app.deployed — a project was successfully published
• app.deploy_failed — a publish attempt failed
• order.created — a customer placed an order in your store
• order.paid — an order was successfully paid for

What the payload looks like#

Every webhook request is a JSON POST with a consistent shape: an event type, a timestamp, and the relevant data. The Studio's webhook page shows you an example payload for each event type, so you know exactly what to expect.
