Webhook Quick Start Guide
Test out our webhook alerts in 10 seconds.
Step 1
Make sure you've signed up. It's free, and you only need a valid email address — we ask for no personal information.Step 2
Visit webhook.site, an incredibly useful tool for testing webhook notifications. As soon as the page loads, you'll be given a unique URL where you can receive webhook requests. Copy that URL and paste it into our webhook configuration window. Click "Set". Once submitted, we immediately verify the URL and let you know if it succeeds. Switch back over to webhook.site and you'll see that a test message has already appeared. You can click "Send a Test Message" in our webhook configuration window to test things further, or simply create some crypto alerts and watch the webhook notifications flow in.Our Webhook Reference gives examples of what each alert type looks like as a webhook notification.
Step 3
You're all set! There are lots of services that already accept webhook notifications, making it easy to integrate with our Cryptocurrency Alerting platform (even if you're not a programmer!). Sites like Zapier, Integromat and IFTTT are great resources for this. Below, we've listed some of the things you can do with webhooks.Automating & Extending Our Platform
Since webhook events follow a standard format and structure, there are endless combinations of workflow automations already available to you:- Add a row to a Google Sheet when your ETH wallet receives an airdrop.
- Create a Trello Card or an Asana task when the Bitcoin Mempool Size spikes.
- Open a GitHub Issue when Tether drops below $0.99.
- Create a QuickBooks entry when your BTC wallet increases.
- Trigger a PagerDuty incident when a critical wallet balance changes.
- Open up a JIRA story or create a Basecamp Todo when a certain price breakout occurs.
- Apply a Currency Converter to your price alerts.
Taking Things Further
Of course, you can also provide us a URL that you personally control. As long as this URL can receive HTTP POST requests and return a 200 status, we won't have trouble sending it webhook notifications. This can let you fully integrate our platform with your existing workflows and infrastructure. The sky's the limit.Don't forget, we also have a REST API where you can programmatically manage and create your alerts as well.
