Webhook

First, let's define what a webhook is and how it works. A webhook is a way for an application to send automated notifications or data to another application in real time. It allows the first application to send a request to a specific URL (called a "webhook URL") when a specific event or trigger occurs. The second application, which has the webhook URL configured to receive requests, can then process the request and take some action based on the information received.

Step-by-step Configuration

  1. Choose a webhook provider. There are many different services and tools available for creating and managing webhooks. Some popular options include Zapier, IFTTT, and Webhook.site.

  2. Create an account with your chosen webhook provider and set up your webhook. This process will vary depending on the specific provider you are using, but generally, it will involve creating a new webhook and configuring the events or triggers that will cause it to be triggered.

  3. Set up the destination URL for your webhook. This is the URL that will receive the webhook request when it is triggered. The destination URL should be publicly accessible and should be configured to handle the type of information that will be sent in the request.

  4. Test your webhook to ensure that it is working properly. You can use a tool like Postman or curl to send a test request to your webhook and verify that it is received and processed correctly.

  5. Integrate your webhook into your application or service. Once you have tested your webhook and confirmed that it is working properly, you can integrate it into your application or service by triggering it whenever the relevant event or trigger occurs.

  6. Go to your Device on Qubitro Portal and choose Rules. When you go to create a new rule, choose webhook. You can enter the URL you have done in step 3.

  7. Once you fill in the requirements, you have to configure your trigger event, and then all done.
