Get started with Zapnito webhooks

With webhooks, Zapnito sends a request to your system. Use them when you want to react as soon as something happens in your community, such as a new user registering or a piece of content being published.

When to use webhooks

You want to react to activity as it happens, without checking for changes.
You want to keep another system up to date, such as a CRM or data warehouse.
You want to start a workflow when an event occurs.

If you need to look up or change data on demand instead, use the API.

Choose an event

Pick an event from the webhook events list. This example uses user_registered.

Create a subscription

Send a POST request with the URL you want Zapnito to notify. Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with your token and https://your-community.zapnito.com with your community’s domain.

Create a subscription

curl -X POST https://your-community.zapnito.com/api/v1/rest_hooks/user_registered/subscriptions \
  -H "Authorization: Token token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com/webhooks/user-registered"}'

A successful request returns 201 Created with the subscription id. Keep it so you can delete the subscription later.

Receive the payload

Each time the event happens, Zapnito sends a JSON payload to your URL. See User registered for an example payload.
