Webhooks

New in Tiki25, Webhooks can be used by an external system for notifying your system about a certain event or update.
They are for example, a universal means of sending data about contacts and their activities to a third party in real time as a change or activity occurs.

To allow web applications to communicate with each other in an automated way, Webhooks allow interaction between them through the use of customized callbacks.

In other words, a webhook triggers an action following an event. It allows you to receive an alert when a chosen event occurs in another system.

In Tiki25, we have integrated this system because some functionalities might need these kinds of callbacks in order to finalize with the actions they serve.

Requirements

For this to work in Tiki, some configuration needs to be done but before that here is all you need:

• the URL of the system from which you want to receive events. You need so to create a webhook in your caller system giving the correct tiki-webhooks.php url (it is output in Tiki admin)
• The secret key which you should find and copy from the administration panel of the calling system.
