Webhooks


What are Webhooks?

Webhooks are user-defined HTTP callbacks that are triggered by specific events in a web application. When an event occurs, the source application sends an HTTP POST request to a predefined URL, allowing the receiving application to take action based on the event data. This mechanism is particularly useful for integrating different systems and automating workflows.

How Stax Webhooks Work

Stax Webhooks allow you to subscribe to specific events within the Stax platform. When one of these events occurs, Stax sends a payload containing relevant information to the designated endpoint. This enables your application to respond to changes in real-time, such as updates to transactions, customer data, or other critical events.

Key Features

  • Real-Time Notifications: Receive immediate updates when events occur, enabling timely responses.
  • Customizable Endpoints: Define your endpoints to handle incoming webhook requests.
  • Event Filtering: Subscribe only to the events that matter to your application, reducing unnecessary data processing.

Setting Up Stax Webhooks

To set up Stax Webhooks, follow these steps:

Develop an endpoint in your application to handle incoming HTTP POST requests. Ensure it can parse the JSON payload sent by Stax.
