When you log in to your portal, click on Advanced in the left panel, and then click Webhooks. You can create Emitter Webhooks and enable Receiver Webhooks.

Enter the Webhook URL and type of Webhook you want to create (complete guide available here). You can also test your Webhook by sending a POST request at the bottom of the page:

The full list of webhook events are:

  • Sync notifications: LinkedAccount.fully_synced_initial and LinkedAccount.synced

  • Issue notifications: Issue.created and Issue.resolved

  • Common model notifications (common_model_name will be the actual name): common_model_name.added, common_model_name.changed, common_model_name.removed

Webhook payload

  1. The hook object: contains information about the webhook itself, including the triggering action

  2. The linked_account object: contains identifying information about the linked account that triggered the webhook.

  3. The data object: this is the part that changes depending on your webhook configuration!

    • A “Linked Account Issue” webhook will send an /issue object.

    • A “sync notification” webhook will send a /sync-status object.

    • A “data changed” webhook will send the actual Merge common model. So, a “candidate.updated" webhook will send the candidate object, and an “employee.created” webhook will send an employee object

Example sync status payload:
