What is a Webhook?

Ashley Grant

LogonBox servers provide the ability to create and configure Webhooks. A Webhook is a resource that allows incoming HTTP requests to trigger tasks in response to those requests based on the provided information. The tasks that can be triggered can also be chained together so that the result of one task feeds into another, allowing complex operations to be performed in response to external events.

The webhook above contains two steps, the Send Email step first generates the information that is to be used, an email address to send a message to, and the content of the email. The second step, Send Message, will then take the content, construct the email, and send it to the address that was specified.
