Generic Webhook
Webhooks are automated messages sent from applications when something happens. They have a message, or payload, and are sent to a unique URL.
Webhooks are a simple mechanism and nearly every service can integrate with Fylamynt by calling webhooks.
When creating a workflow, Fylamynt provides a generic webhook trigger node that can be called by any external application in order to automatically run the workflow.
The webhook integration in a Fylamynt workflow lets you:
- Trigger the execution of a workflow, after validating the webhook input.
Details needed to set up a Generic webhook in Fylamynt:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Webhook Trigger URL | Fylamynt Webhook URL created specifically for each workflow to be used by the application. |
Webhook API Key Name | Fylamynt API Key Name for webhook authentication |
Webhook API Key Value | Fylamynt API Key Value for webhook authentication |
The Webhook trigger is not configured in the same way as other Fylamynt integrations. Every application handles webhook configuration differently, so please follow the instruction provided by your application to configure a webhook. As an example, we are making use of Squadcast's outgoing webhook to trigger a workflow.
In Fylamynt, create an API Key resource:
- Navigate to Settings -> Resources -> API Keys
-
- Click Add New
- Enter the name for the API Key and click Save
-
Create a new workflow:
- On the workflow page, select New Workflow
- Enter the name of the Workflow.
- Select the Webhook trigger type.
- Click Create Workflow
- In the Workflow editor, select the Webhook node
-
- The Action Configuration Panel will show on the right-hand side of the canvas.
- Here you will find all the information necessary to create the webhook in your application.
- From the dropdown box, select the API Key resource created earlier.
-
- Once selected the API Key value is displayed.
-
Now turn your attention to your application, in this example use case, Squadcast to configure the outgoing webhook with the information provided in the Action Configuration Panel.
- Login to Squadcast
- Navigate to Settings -> Webhooks
- Click Configure New
-
- Enter a name for the webhook.
- Click Create
- From Fylamynt's Action configuration panel, copy the provided URL and paste it in URL section, leaving the default as POST.

- From Fylamynt's Action configuration panel, copy the Webhook API Key value and paste it in the value field of the 'x-api-key' key name
-
- Click Update
Whenever a Squadcast incident is created, the newly create Fylamynt workflow will be triggered.
