Webhooks provide a robust and efficient method for applications to transmit real-time data to other systems or applications, facilitating seamless communication and integration. As you all know, with NotifyVisitors, you can seamlessly integrate a webhook with your signup form to receive real-time data as events occur.

In this article, we’ll cover how you can test a webhook campaign within Notifyvisitors, enabling you to ensure that your data is being sent correctly. You can also review the responses generated by the webhook, which will give you valuable insights into the data being transmitted and ensure that your integration is working smoothly.

How to test webhook in NotifyVisitors Dashboard

To check if your webhook data is being transmitted properly, please follow these steps:

1. To begin with, navigate to the Onsite > signup form section in the dashboard. Now, you can either create a new signup form campaign or edit an existing one. While in the editor, navigate to the integration tab to create a new webhook or make changes to an existing one.

   

2. When you click the edit icon, a webhook configuration window will open. You can complete the configuration details such as webhook name, URL, URL key-value pair, etc. At the bottom right corner, there’s a “Test Webhook” button available. By clicking this button, a new test-webhook window will open. 

   

3. You can check the data of your webhook response on the left side of this test webhook window. You can manually edit and adjust this test request data if required. 

   

4. Now, click the “Submit” button to get a webhook response. If the test succeeds, you’ll receive a “success response” and a confirmation message.

   

5. If there are any issues, you will receive an error response outlining the problem. This response will include an error code that indicates the specific type of mistake and a comprehensive message that may show the reason for failure, which is the webhook provider returns. This will help to debug the webhook easily.

   

Conclusion

Overall, webhooks are a robust mechanism for real-time data sharing between applications, enhancing integration and communication. The NotifyVisitors dashboard simplifies the process of setting up and testing your webhooks, enabling you to monitor responses and debug the same if required. By following the steps outlined, you can ensure your webhook campaigns run seamlessly and efficiently. This feature is excellent for confirming webhook configurations, catching possible issues ahead of time, and ensuring that the payload fits the expected structure.
