Webhooks

Webhooks are special components, that allow the direct execution of a flow by sending an HTTP POST request. The request can contain additional data will be sent to the components data output.

When a Webhook component is added to the flow, the endpoint URL and the needed security token are automatically added. The cURL field has a pre-defined sample POST command, that can be used to trigger the flow.

When sending data with a webhook, it is necessary to extract the correct payload. This is typically done with a Parse or Parse Selected component.

Webhooks are a great option to create a quick connection to an agent. The drawback is, that the connection is only in one direction and the flow can't send any results back.

Each flow can only have a single Webhook component, and it's not possible to add a second.
