WebHooks are automated messages sent from apps when something happens. They have a message—or payload— and are sent to a unique URL; named WebHook URL. This article will serve to assist with sending WebHook notifications to Zapier, to trigger alerts to other providers.
Before setting up the integration with Zapier, please read over our Alerts article to learn basic concepts and useful tips.
In order to set up WebHook notifications to Zapier, you will need:
- A Zapier premium account.
- Admin or super-admin user role within Hudu.
At any time, you can come back to the Hudu admin area >> Alerts >> edit specific alert to make changes to the alert.
