Custom Webhook integration

This custom webhook integration helps the bot to receive instant notifications about user actions, such as adding products to their cart or completing purchases.

Pre-built integrations may not suit all client setups. Implementing webhooks ensures seamless communication between our bot and both in-house and third-party systems, accommodating various client configurations. For example, clients utilizing third-party systems can still receive timely updates about user actions.

To configure a Webhook account, follow these steps:

1. In Development/Staging environment, go to Extensions > Integrations > Tools & Utilities > Custom Webhook. Alternatively, you can use the Search box to find a specific integration.

   

2. In Give account name, enter a unique name for the integration. You can use only lowercase alphanumeric characters and underscores (_).

   

3. Configure the other details based on the description provided in the following table.

   Option	Description
   Provider	Either choose Custom webhook to add a new webhook account or select a preconfigured webhook that you want to use.
   Domain name	Enter the domain for example
   Webhook payload	The data format or structure of the payload sent via the webhook. Describe the content and format expected in the JSON payload.
