Generic Webhook Trigger

What it is

This block will output the contents of the generic input for the webhook.

How it works

This block creates a webhook endpoint that receives and outputs any incoming HTTP payload. When external services send data to this webhook URL, the block triggers and outputs the complete payload as a dictionary.

Constants can be configured to pass additional static values alongside the dynamic webhook data.

Inputs

Input Description Type Required
constants The constants to be set when the block is put on the graph Dict[str, True] No

Outputs

Output Description Type
error Error message if the operation failed str
payload The complete webhook payload that was received from the generic webhook. Dict[str, True]
constants The constants to be set when the block is put on the graph Dict[str, True]

Possible use case

External Integrations: Receive data from any third-party service that supports webhooks.

Custom Triggers: Create custom workflow triggers from external systems or internal tools.

Event Processing: Capture and process events from IoT devices, payment processors, or notification services.
