AutomationWhat is Webhooks?
With Webhooks another system can give Slimbot a signal as soon as something happens, and trigger a flow to respond immediately. This way your tools talk to each other without intervention. Perfect for creating integrations with software you already use.
How does it work?
- Create a webhook address in Slimbot and copy the link.
- Paste that link into the external system that needs to send a signal.
- Choose which workflow starts as soon as a message comes in.
- Test the integration and set it live.
Use cases
Webshop: have your order system pass on every new order directly.
SaaS entrepreneur: respond to a new sign-up from your own app.
Marketing: capture submissions from external landing pages.
Payments: process a successful payment from Stripe or Mollie immediately.
Benefits
- Connect systems that otherwise don't talk to each other.
- Response in real time, without delay or manual work.
- Works with virtually any tool that can send notifications.
- Easy to set up with a ready-made address.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a webhook and a trigger?
A trigger responds to events within Slimbot and to standard integrations. A webhook lets an external system of your choice send a signal itself, including software without a ready-made integration.
Is a webhook secure?
Yes. Every webhook address is unique and secret, and you can set up additional security so that only your systems are allowed to send messages.
