Webhooks

The Enplug integration hub allows you to use Webhooks to display real-time data from your preferred external data source.

Requirements

To use the Webhook integration, you’ll need the following:

• A Professional or Enterprise Enplug account
• A data format compatible with a Webhook, most commonly a JSON data file (Required fields in the data file: Product ID)

Adding a Webhook Integration

To add a Webhook integration:

1. Login to Enplug.
2. Click the gear icon in the bottom-left corner of the screen to launch the Settings menu.
3. Click Integrations.
4. Click New Integration.
5. From the available options, select Webhook.
   • Keep the Active toggle on to keep an integration active. 
   • Enable the Auto-Update toggle to download new data when available.

6. Click Copy URL.

   

7. Click Create.

At this point, you’ll use your API program to pull data into your integration using the webhook URL.
