Webhook – WorkDo Dash SaaS Add-on

Introduction

A webhook is a powerful mechanism that enables real-time communication between web applications by acting as an HTTP-based callback. When specific events occur in one application, it instantly triggers actions or sends data to another, eliminating the need for constant polling. This event-driven approach allows systems to stay synchronized and respond promptly to changes. Webhooks are widely used for sending notifications, automating tasks, syncing data, integrating third-party services, and enhancing real-time functionality, making them essential for building efficient, connected, and responsive digital ecosystems.

Here, I explain to you an example of how to work Webhook Add-On.

First of all, go to System Settings and scroll down until you find Webhook Settings. Then click on Webhook Settings, and here you can see the list of Add-Ons data that are connected to the Webhook Add-on.

You can see one “Create” button right side of this page. Click on this button and you will see a pop-up box.

In this box, you can see the first field, Module. In this module selection box, you can see a list of add-ons that can connect to the Webhook Add-On. From this list, I choose Create User under General. Because I want to get the Create User detail using a webhook Call.

Moving forward in this, you can see the Method fields. From this Method Selection box, you can choose the Method to connect Webhook call, like GET or POST.

• The POST Method is the most commonly used in webhooks. It is used to send data (like user info, updates, or notifications) to another server. This is perfect for tasks like creating new records in a connected app.
• The GET Method is used to retrieve data or trigger an action on another server using parameters in the URL. It’s generally used when you only need to notify or fetch something without sending a lot of data. For example, pinging a service or checking a status.

And last field, you can see the URL fields. In this field, you need to enter your Webhook URL on which you want to see the Created User details. Without this URL, you can not get a webhook call. In this URL field, I add my webhook URL to get information about the User.

On the right side of this page, you can also see a toggle switch button. This toggle switch allows you to enable or disable the webhook. When the toggle is green, the webhook is active and will work properly. When you toggle it off, the webhook becomes inactive. You can use this toggle to control whether the webhook is currently active or not in your system.

Here, I copied my webhook URL from one webhook site, and I pasted this URL in my Webhook settings.

Once all of these settings are completed successfully, after you create a new user, you can easily get that user’s information on your webhook-connected site.
