In this article we show you how to use webhooks to create integrations between Tātou and 3rd party platforms.
This is a technical article.
Before you start - What is a webhook?
Webhook is a user defined callback, used to send event notifications to different platforms. It can be used to create integrations or notifications when those events are triggered in Tātou.
In the example below we will illustrate how to use Tātou webhooks to sync employees to a 3rd party API.
Webhooks can send data out only, to receive data into Tātou platform, please use our Rest API.
Instructions
Step 1: Create a new webhook
On the Organisation settings, select the webhook tab and click in +new to create a new webhook.
Step 2: Fill in the details
When creating a new webhook you can select all events it will be subscribed to. In this example we are subscribing to all events related to the Employee entity.
Additionally you can set custom params as needed. The params will be sent with the body request.
Step 3: Check the recent executions
You can check the recent executions in order to get the result. It can be used to diagnose a failed request or to make sure the integration is working as expected.
