Webhooks

The Webhook integration allows external web systems to trigger alarms, events, and workflows in evalink directly over the HTTPS protocol – without requiring any additional infrastructure.

With Webhooks, you simply register a URL where event data in JSON or XML format can be sent. This makes it easy to connect complex external systems such as IoT platforms, tracking devices, or automation services like IFTTT and Zapier with minimal effort.

Because Webhooks only require a browser, a device, or any web-enabled platform, the integration is extremely simple, flexible, and fast to set up.

Another advantage: third-party software can interact with evalink in a loosely coupled way via Webhooks – without the need for specific API calls or complex programming.

And it works both ways: Webhooks can not only be received by evalink, but also be sent from evalink as a workflow step. This means that whenever a workflow is executed, whether triggered automatically or manually. evalink can also send Webhooks to external systems to trigger actions, synchronize data, or notify third-party applications.

Key Benefits

• Simple integration – no extra coding, protocols, or special devices required.
• Universal connectivity – works with almost any external system that supports HTTPS.
• Bidirectional workflows – Webhooks can both trigger evalink workflows and be sent as workflow steps to external systems.
• Instant response – trigger alarms, workflows, and actions in evalink with a simple HTTPS callback.
• High flexibility – compatible with IoT platforms, tracking solutions, and automation tools like Zapier or IFTTT.
