Webhooks: trigger and send events
Last Updated
>
Start automations from your systems and send signed events back out.
Webhooks connect Shard to your own systems, in both directions.
Trigger an automation with a webhook
Create an automation and choose the Webhook received trigger.
Copy the unique URL Shard generates.
Send a POST request with your event data to that URL.
Use the data in your conditions and actions.
Send a webhook from an automation
Add the Send webhook action, enter the destination URL, and choose which data to include.
Verify the sender
Every webhook Shard sends includes a signature header. Check it on your side before trusting the payload.
Retries
If your endpoint doesn't reply with a success status, Shard retries a few times, waiting longer after each attempt.
Tip: reply quickly with a success status, then do any heavy work afterward.
