Create a webhook to receive calls from the Flow REST API.
Establishing a webhook endpoint on your server is similar to crafting a new page for your website—it’s a straightforward process that opens up exciting possibilities for interaction.
When a webhook transmits data, it does so in the form of JSON embedded within the body of a POST request. Within this organized data, there is plenty of event information waiting to be extracted and transformed into a user-friendly Event object after parsing the JSON.
To successfully create your webhook, ensure it adheres to the following essential requirements:
- Support for HTTPS: Your endpoint must secure the data transmission with HTTPS, ensuring privacy and integrity.
- A valid SSL certificate: Obtain a trusted SSL certificate, which acts as a digital passport, verifying the authenticity of your server.
- An open port for requests: Ensure that an accessible port is configured to accept both GET and POST requests, allowing seamless communication between systems.
By meeting these criteria, your webhook will be well-equipped to handle incoming data with precision and reliability.
