In this article, we will take a look at how 99minds can integrate with external webhooks. As explained in this article, you may want to execute an action outside the scope of the 99minds API. You can create a rule and an action that will send real-time information to an external application called a Webhook. The request is sent in the form of a HTTP request (GET, POST, PUT, ...).
To create the new Webhook in 99minds app, navigate to the top right corner of the screen and select Manage. Select the Webhooks tab. Click here to read about the Data Settings in detail.
