Webhooks

A webhook is a user-defined HTTP callback. It is a mechanism that sends real-time information to any third-party app or service.

Webhooks allow you to specify a URL to which you would like Cockpit to post data when an event happens. So, for instance, if you wish to be notified every time a new collection entry is created, you can create a webhook for it. Webhooks can be created for almost all events in Cockpit.

Advanced options

All data will be send as application/json.

Using POST-data in the webhook destination script

Some hooks send data along to the webhook destination script as hook is triggered (like some of the collection-event-hooks which send the fresh new collection's name and configuration).

The data is posted to the webhook destination script in RAW-Post format.

// PHP example to get the raw request body

$body = file_get_contents('php://input');
