Webhook

How webhooks work

Webhooks are a way to receive information from external sources through a URL.

Creating a webhook

1. Go to the Developer Area → Webhooks
2. Click + Create webhook
3. Choose a type: Object or Function
4. Define whether it is active immediately or not

• Object webhook — requires selecting the table it inserts data into
• Function webhook — requires selecting the function it activates when data is received

After creation, the webhook page shows the full request history.

Object webhooks

An object webhook creates a record in a table using the data received through the webhook. The data is not processed or transformed — Jestor simply checks for valid field pairings for that table (e.g. name => "Jack") and creates the record using the valid values.

The fields a webhook can receive are listed on its page in the developer area.

Function webhooks

Function webhooks do not automatically create records. Instead, they pass the received data through the low-code automation of the associated function.

For example: data is sent to the webhook via URL parameters → the TreatData function modifies the name parameter to "Functions!" → the record is then created in the Accounts table.
