Webhooks

Return to the docs

Webhooks are used to send notifications to a destination (URL), triggered by an event. Developers can use webhooks to send notifications to a URL or third-party web application.

Any event recorded by Abtz Analytics on your website will trigger a webhook. When triggered, the webhook notification will contain the event data sent to your URL in JSON format as a POST request.

🚨 Given its nature, Abtz Analytics webhooks are sent only once and there is no retry.

Adding a webhook

Follow the steps below to enable webhooks for your website in Abtz Analytics.

Every change you make is automatically saved.

1. Go to Settings → General → Webhooks
2. Click on the switch to Enable
3. Fill in the endpoint URL
4. Done! 🎉

Managing your webhook

Follow the same steps from Adding a webhook.

Webhook event payload example

This is how a webhook payload will looks like when reaching your endpoint.
