You can use webhooks within the Limio application to be notified anytime a specific event occurs. Limio can be configured to generate a webhook whenever any significant event occurs, which can then be handled by a designated endpoint in your application. You just need to specify the URL that needs to receive the data within the settings of the Limio application. Every time that event occurs in Limio, Limio makes a call to that endpoint sending the JSON object involved in the action.
Here is an example of the URL you have to set in the Webhooks fields: https://your-domain.com/your-endpoint
Why webhooks?
Webhooks are intended to be used for background tasks and asynchronous changes. A key use case is to notify a third-party application such as a billing or entitlement that a new order has been created or a subscription has been changed, and needs to be added to the third-party systems.
Authenticating Webhooks
Should the webhook need to be authenticated this can be done by adding a Basic Auth authentication provider in the Limio App. Select Basic Auth and enter the Name, Username and Password fields, where name is the base url of the endpoint that the webhook is being sent to.
How do I configure a webhook in Limio?
In order to receive a webhook you need to configure an endpoint for the appropriate endpoint type. You can find the webhook configuration in Settings > General Settings > Webhooks.
