How to create and configure webhooks
Blog post from Unified.to
Unified.to offers a guide on creating and configuring webhooks, enabling users to receive real-time data updates from customer accounts. Webhooks are tied to existing connections, and users can create them via the Unified API or the Unified.to app, each offering options to configure data object types, events, and filters. The guide explains that webhooks can be virtual or native, with virtual webhooks catering to API providers lacking native support. Users have the option to include all historical data during webhook creation and can specify fields to include in webhook payloads. The guide also addresses handling webhook data retrieval, managing duplicate events, and troubleshooting, emphasizing the importance of verifying webhook authenticity and utilizing filtering capabilities to tailor data reception. Additionally, it outlines the retry mechanism for failed dispatches and provides insights into distinguishing between created and updated events.
