Your plan must enable webhooks. You must also have an account with the right webhooks roles and permissions to set up webhooks.

Fulcrum servers make HTTP POST requests to the webhook URL.

See the Webhooks Developer Documentation for more details.

Creating the Webhook

Create a webhook within Fulcrum with the following steps:

  1. Click Webhooks tab in the navigation pane/sidebar on the left side of the web app.

  2. Click Add Webhook.

  3. Enter the webhook’s name.

  4. Enter the webhook’s URL.

  5. Save the Webhook.

Using Webhooks

Once a webhook has been created and is active, it will begin to receive HTTP POST requests at its URL as events occur within the organization.

Active/Inactive

Webhooks are active by default. This means that new events will automatically be sent to the webhook’s URL via an HTTP POST request. If you wish to leave the webhook in the organization but prevent any events from being sent to that URL, set it to be inactive. To do this, when editing a webhook, simply uncheck the Active?checkbox and save the webhook.

NOTE: Plans are limited to having 10 total webhooks.

Next Step

Please see the Webhooks Developer Documentation for more details on how to receive, use, and respond to these POST requests.
