Getting access to Webhooks
Access to Webhooks will be granted once your organization has signed and gained access to Social Media Management APIs. If you have not yet gained access to Social Media Management APIs, please follow the complete guide on our Help Center here.
When your organization has gained access to APIs, the options mentioned in the Webhook subscription guide below will become available.
Tip:
Still not seeing the option to subscribe to Webhooks as described below? If you have signed and gained access to Social Media Management APIs already, please contact your Social Media Management Account Manager for help resolving the issue.
Subscribing to Webhooks
Once your organization has been granted access to Social Media Management Webhooks, any Admin user can begin subscribing to new Webhooks by following the steps below:
- In the lower-left corner of Social Media Management, click the Manage settings (cog) icon, then select Organization admin.
- From the left-hand navigation sidebar, select Integrations & API.
- Select Webhooks.
- Under Webhook Services, your Secret will be displayed. Your third party or application developer must use this secret to generate the correct HTTP response during our automated verification process.
- Next, click either Create New Webhook or New Subscription (if Webhooks have already been created).
- Enter a secure destination URL. The destination URL defines where the information will be sent. The URL should be generated either by you or the third party receiving the Webhook data.
- Click Save & Continue.
- Enter name and description. The description is optional.
- Click Save & Continue.
- To verify, click Verify & Save.
