How to Create and Manage Webhooks

What is a webhook?

Webhooks are user-defined HTTP callbacks that deliver real-time data to other applications when a specific event occurs in the BoldDesk. So that integration of various applications or third-party APIs with BoldDesk can be performed easily.

When a ticket is created in the BoldDesk, the ticket data is sent to the configured URL via an HTTP request.
