Webhooks
Connecting Wingback to your application
Webhooks provide a powerful tool for real-time notifications regarding changes in your Wingback account. They facilitate automated communication between Wingback and your services, enabling you to keep your system in sync with your Wingback data.
Webhooks are an essential tool for extending the functionality of your Wingback integration. They allow you to listen for specific events and trigger actions within your application based on these events. This could be anything from sending a welcome email when a new customer signs up, to updating a customer’s account status when a payment is successful.
When creating a new endpoint, you’ll have the option to select the specific events it should subscribe to.
The following table provides a list of events currently supported:
Creating a New Webhook
You can create and manage webhooks via the Webhook Interface, which can be accessed from the settings menu in the Wingback application. The interface provides an endpoints overview, an event log, and a copy of the event catalog.
When creating a new endpoint, you’ll have the option to select the specific events it should subscribe to.
Keep in mind that events can be triggered by a variety of actions, either from the customer using the self-serve billing portal, changes to customers and plans in the customer portal by your sales, accounting, and customer success teams, or plan changes triggered through the API.
Event Catalog
We’re constantly expanding the event catalog. If you need a specific event that’s not listed, don’t hesitate to reach out!
