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.
