Using webhooks

5 min read

Webhooks let Orbix notify an external URL when something happens on your site — like a new form submission, order, or booking — so you can connect Orbix to your CRM, automation tools, or custom backend.

How webhooks work

  • You provide an endpoint URL that can receive HTTP POST requests.
  • When a subscribed event occurs, Orbix sends a JSON payload to that URL.
  • Your endpoint responds with a 2xx status to acknowledge receipt.

Set one up

  1. 1Open your site and go to API & Webhooks.
  2. 2Add a new webhook with your endpoint URL.
  3. 3Select the events you want to receive (e.g., form submitted, order created).
  4. 4Save, then trigger a test event to confirm your endpoint receives it.

Good practices

  • Use an https endpoint.
  • Verify and log incoming payloads on your side.
  • Return quickly (2xx) and process heavy work asynchronously.
Tip · For programmatic access beyond events, generate an API token on the API Tokens page. Keep tokens secret — treat them like passwords.
