If Keragon doesn't directly support a trigger from your specific app, the HTTP Webhook trigger provides a flexible and powerful alternative. This guide walks you through setting up and utilizing an HTTP Webhook trigger effectively.
What are Webhooks?
Webhooks are automated messages sent from apps when certain events occur. They allow apps to send real-time data to other apps immediately after specific events, enabling automated workflows and integrations.
Setting Up an HTTP Webhook Trigger
Follow these simple steps to configure the HTTP Webhook trigger:
-
In the workflow editor, click the "+ Add a trigger" button.
-
In the drawer that opens, search for "HTTP" and select it.
-
Choose the "HTTP / Webhook" event from the available triggers.
-
Click "Save".
-
Click on the newly added "HTTP / Webhook" trigger.
-
Select the "Copy Trigger URL" button to copy your unique webhook URL.
-
Click the "Publish" button in the workflow editor to activate your workflow.
-
Navigate to your vendor’s application dashboard.
-
Paste the copied webhook URL into the vendor’s webhook settings.
Receiving and Viewing Webhook Data
Once your webhook URL is configured and you’ve sent a test event:
-
Return to Keragon.
-
Click the checkmark icon (✓) in the upper-right corner of your workflow editor or visit your Runs page.
-
Expand the HTTP Webhook step and click on the Outputs tab to view incoming webhook data.
Mapping Webhook Data to Workflow Steps
After receiving webhook data, you can easily pass this data into subsequent workflow steps:
-
Click on the workflow step where you want to use webhook data.
-
Select the specific input field.
-
Use the variable selector to choose data received from the webhook.

Important Considerations
Not all apps support webhook functionality. Before using Keragon's HTTP Webhook trigger, confirm webhook support in your vendor’s application by:
-
Reviewing the application's documentation.
-
Contacting their support team or your account manager.
By leveraging Keragon’s HTTP Webhook trigger, you can effectively integrate and automate workflows even when direct app support isn't available.
