Webhooks

Webhooks are notifications that Unit21 sends when an event occurs on your platform.

From the Webhooks pane of the Unit21 UI, you can configure what events trigger a webhook, along with the endpoints where notifications are sent.

For example, this webhook sends notifications about any alert activity to a specially designated endpoint.

How to create a webhook

  1. Go to System>Webhooks, then click Create a Webhook.
  2. Add the Endpoint URL you want to send your webhooks to.
  3. Add the webhook events that trigger your webhook. For a description of the events, see the event reference in the following section.

The following list outlines the objects available for Unit21 webhooks, and briefly describes the events that trigger each webhook.
