Data and research requests take hours or days. Rather than have an assistant check back on them, a webhook has Ploti POST to a URL you choose the moment something changes: a dataset is delivered or fails, Ploti needs the user’s answer, or a research request’s report or answer is ready. Use it to wake a routine or alert the user wherever they are.

​
Setting one up

Ask your assistant to create a webhook for an https URL; it uses the create_webhook tool. If the receiver needs its own credential, such as a routine’s bearer key, include it and Ploti sends it with every POST. test_webhook sends a test event, and list_webhooks and delete_webhook manage the ones you have. Each POST is signed with Standard Webhooks using the secret create_webhook returns once, so the receiver can confirm it came from Ploti.
