Webhooks

A webhook is a way for one application to send real-time information to another application as soon as an event happens.

Think of a webhook like a "digital notification." For example, think about when a package is delivered to your house.

• Without a webhook: you have to constantly check your mail to see if a package has arrived (this is called "polling").

• With a webhook: The delivery person rings your doorbell the moment they drop the package off. You don't have to check; the information comes to you instantly.

DailyStory supports webhooks for many activities that occur, such as opt outs. Webhook management is found in Account Settings > Developer > Webhooks.  To learn more, please see our developer documentation on webhooks.  

How it Works

In technical terms, a webhook is an automated message sent from an app when something specific happens. It carries a "payload" of data to a unique URL—kind of like a digital shipping address—that you provide.

Why use Webhooks?

Webhooks are the foundation of modern automation. They allow you to:

• Sync Data: Update your CRM the second a customer makes a purchase.
• Send Alerts: Get a Slack or Microsoft Teams notification the moment a lead fills out a form.
• Trigger Workflows: Start an onboarding email sequence immediately after a user signs up.

DailyStory supports a number of webhooks that developers can use to receive data from the DailyStory platform. To learn more, please see our developer documentation on webhooks.
