How to setup a Webhook Automation in Socialbu?

What's a Webhook?

A webhook is like a magic doorbell for your app. It lets your app know when something important happens, just like how a doorbell rings when someone is at your door.

What You Need:

- A SocialBu account where you can create automations.

Setting Up the Webhook

Go to Automate: Open your SocialBu app and go to the "Automate" section. Then click on +New Automation and assign the name to your Automation.

Select an Event:
- Look for a dropdown called Select Event under the When section.

Choose Webhook is triggered from the list.

A special URL will be generated for you (like an address for your magic doorbell).

Send a POST Request: To activate the magic doorbell, you need to send a POST request (a type of message) to the special URL. This tells your app to start doing the actions you picked.

Choose What Happens Next

In the "Perform these actions" section, choose what you want to happen when the webhook is triggered. You can following actions:
1. Send an email
2. Publish a post
3. Add a post to a queue
4. Send an HTTP request (another type of message)

You can also attach pictures or videos if you need to.
You can schedule when you want the action to happen.

Save Your Automation

Click Save: Once you’ve set everything up, click the Save button to keep your automation.

And that’s it! You’ve set up a webhook. Now your app will know right away when something important happens and will do exactly what you want it to do.
