Summary

Guides on setting up a Webhook action in Accoil Analytics to send trigger-based data to any webhook URL, ideal for platforms like Zapier.

How this helps

Facilitates the automation of custom actions in external platforms, expanding the utility of Accoil Analytics data.

With Accoil Analytics Action you can send data from a Accoil Analytics trigger to any webhook URL. This is ideal for triggering actions in platforms such as Zapier.

Creating a Webhook Action

Creating a Webhook Action is very simple.

Step 1: Add a new Action from the Action

Step 2. Select Webhook


Step 3: Set a Trigger



Step 4. Add a Webhook URL

This is the URL to which the data generated by your trigger will be sent. Once the trigger conditions are met, the data will be pushed to this endpoint - which is where you can use it.


Step 5a. Select Traits you want to send:


Use "Edit fields" to select which traits to select which traits you want to send in your webhook trigger. The data delivered via a Webhook is called its "payload" - editing fields here will allow you to add more (or less) data to that payload. This is the data you will use in the eventual actions generated by your webhook.

Step 5b. Send a test

When setting up an action triggered by a webhook (in Zapier, for example), you will often want to send some test data so that you properly define the action. To do this, simply click the Send a test link and we will send sample data using your fields to the endpoint entered.

Step 6. Set to Live

Once everything looks good, simply set your Workflow Live and it will start triggering immediately.
