Overview

Note: Webhook functionality is a paid, add-on feature in addition to your Goldcast package. Organizers interested in using Webhooks to monitor Event Activity should reach out to their CSM to discuss their options.

The Goldcast platform allows you to track Event User activities using Webhooks. In this document, we will be reviewing the steps for connecting a Webhook from an external platform to an event in Goldcast.

Webhooks: are used to connect two different applications. These are the automated calls, in which a condition or event is set on the workflow/API call, and the action is taken place only when the event or condition occurs. For example, when a support ticket is created in Zendesk, push this ticket to JIRA or create a Trello card or when a new user signs up on xyz.com, the automated call can be configured in such a way asking the server to send out a welcome email to the signed-up user. 

A webhook is a lightweight API as it’s only one-way data sharing triggered by events. A REST API is a two-way or bi-directional call that can push and pull data.
