Introduction

Webhooks are a powerful tool that allows developers and site owners to listen for events from the devices or WhatsApp server, and then take action based on those events. This can be used to create automated tasks, such as sending an SMS message when a user signs up for a newsletter, or sending a notification to a user when they receive a new message.

Use Cases

  • Do something when you get a notification from an app: Webhooks can be used to do something when you get a notification from an app. This can be useful for automating tasks, or for getting notifications about important events.

How It Works

When an event occurs, such as a user sending an SMS message, the system will invoke the webhook URL and send the payload data. The webhook server will then receive the payload data and can do anything with it. Payloads are sent with POST method to ensure efficient delivery.

Here are some of the use cases for webhooks:

  • Create an autoreply bot for SMS and WhatsApp: An autoreply bot can be used to send automated responses to messages, such as a welcome message when a user signs up for a service, or a reminder message when a user has an upcoming appointment.
  • Save messages and chats to your own database: Webhooks can be used to save messages and chats to your own database, so that you can access them later. This can be useful for tracking customer interactions, or for analyzing data to improve your marketing campaigns.
  • Save notifications to your own database: Webhooks can be used to save notifications to your own database, so that you can access them later. This can be useful for tracking important events, or for getting reminders about upcoming tasks.
  • Send the payload to the specified email addresses: Webhooks can be used to send the payload data to the specified email addresses. This can be useful for sending notifications to users, or for sending reports to administrators.
  • Send an SMS/Chat when you get a notification from Facebook: Webhooks can be used to send an SMS/Chat when you get a notification from Facebook. This can be useful for staying up-to-date on important events, or for getting reminders about upcoming tasks.
