Outbound Webhooks

SIGNL4 can notify your web-hook when specific events occur (e.g. somebody took ownership or has punched-in).

This page describes the JSON format of the notifications that are sent as HTTP POST to your web-hook.

You can register your web-hooks in the account management of SIGNL4 here. Please note that you cannot register the inbound web-hook from your SIGNL4 team as an outbound web-hook for event notifications in order to prevent infinite data loops.

Each notification contains a unique identifier as value of the id property. You may use it to ensure that you process notifications only once in case they are received multiple times by your web-hook. Moreover, each notification contains one or more objects for which the notification was triggered (e.g. a user object when a user has punched-in). You may query additional properties of these objects via the SIGNL4 API by using their id value.

We strongly recommend to utilize the X-S4-ExternalID parameter to match outbound webhook calls with the original inbound webhook call you used to submit an event to SIGNL4. Here is a video on how to parameter can be used for 2-way synching.

New Signl Created

The eventType value of 200 means that a new Signl was created for your team.

Some details are passed within the alert object.
You can use the eventId attribute to correlate this notification to a Signl that you have triggered earlier via the inbound webhook of your team (the inbound webhook returns an eventId for each submitted event.).
If you prefer correlation by an ID in your external system you can pass that value in a parameter named X-S4-ExternalID and you will get it back in the externalEventId property of the alert object.
