Webhook Integration Guide

Webhooks are user-defined HTTP callbacks that trigger events in external systems. They allow you to automate flow by sending real-time notifications when specific events occur.

Webhooks enable asynchronous automation in Lamatic.ai, providing high-performance triggers to integrate with your applications or third-party services easily.

Webhooks Overview

Webhooks facilitate seamless communication between systems in Lamatic. Here’s a quick breakdown of how they function:

• Unique Identifier: Each webhook-triggered flow has a distinct webhook ID.
• Request Handling: Incoming requests to this ID initiate the configured flow.
• Flow Execution: The flow runs predefined actions based on your setup.

Setting Up Webhooks

Follow these steps to configure a webhook in Lamatic:

1. Create a New Flow
   Begin by creating a new flow within your Lamatic dashboard.

2. Add Webhook Node
   In the “Nodes” section, search for “webhook” and add it to your flow.

3. Configure Endpoint
   Copy the generated webhook endpoint and select “Fetch” to activate it.

4. Test the Webhook
   Send a sample payload or event to the endpoint to verify functionality. A webhook accepts any JSON body, whatever you send becomes the trigger node’s output, available to downstream nodes as {{triggerNode_1.output.<field>}}.

   curl -X POST "<YOUR_WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT>" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "topic": "hello world",
       "source": "my-app"
     }'

   With the payload above, {{triggerNode_1.output.topic}} resolves to "hello world" anywhere later in the flow.

5. Build Your Flow Logic
   Once the test payload is received, continue developing your flow logic based on your automation needs.

Accessing Automatic Documentation

Lamatic automatically provides webhook documentation to streamline integration:

• Locate Documentation
  Go to the “Install Steps” or “Setup” section in your Lamatic dashboard.

• Review Instructions
  Use the provided documentation for step-by-step integration guidance.

Deploying and Utilizing Webhooks

After configuring your flow, activate and start using your webhook:

1. Deploy the Flow
   This step finalizes your webhook setup within the project.

2. Send Requests
   Begin sending requests to your webhook endpoint to trigger the flow.

3. Monitor Activity
   Check the “Logs” section to review incoming requests and troubleshoot as needed.

Lamatic’s webhook capabilities allow you to build robust, event-driven flow that seamlessly integrate with your systems, creating efficient automation possibilities.
