Hey @careerbuggy – thanks for your response.
I think we haven’t had an active case regarding this setup in the past (that’s probably also why we don’t have a specific documentation for that use-case).
Anyways, I believe the action that works best for you is our custom_action webhook endpoint.
It allows you to catch any kind of data you send to the webhook URL, which you then can process within an own, WordPress callback.
To read more about the custom_action endpoint, feel free to check out our web view of the plugin: https://wp-webhooks.com/?wpwh=wp-webhooks-pro&wpwhtb=recieve-data
Once there, simply look for the custom_action accordion, click on it and open the description for an example.
How our plugin works in general is basically quite simple:
For incoming connections to your website (Called Receive Data tab within our plugin):
Let’s assume you send over a JSON from an external API or webhook to our plugin action URL, which has the following Payload:
{
“action”: “custom_action”,
“some_data”: “first value”,
“more_data”: “Another Value”
}
What we call arguments within our plugin, are usually the keys of the data you send over. In case of the JSON above, the so called arguments would be action, some_data and more_data
For outgoing data that you send to external websites or services (Called Send Data within our plugin tabs):
You simply add the endpoint URL within the webhook trigger. Once that’s done, you can send a demo request to the endpoint to see if our static data arrives. If that’s the case, you are set up.
I hope that makes it more clear so far.
If you have further questions or you would like to dive deeper into the topic, feel free to open a support ticket at https://ironikus.com/contact/ – I will then personally take care of it.
This way, we can also share pictures and get it solved in the quickest way.
(And of course we are going to extend our documentation based on that case ?? )
Looking forward to your reply.
