Using a Webhook to integrate with services like IFTTT or Zapier

Booth.Events supports using a webhook to integrate with third-party services like If-this-then-that (IFTTT), Zapier, or any other service that can receive a webhook call.

Webhooks are advanced functionality. We only recommend using this feature if you would describe yourself as technically skilled & very comfortable with technology. We do not offer support for setting up integrations with third-party services via webhooks.

Overview

It works like this: each time any file is uploaded by the iOS app (like a photo or video), the system will make an outgoing webhook request to the URL you provide. More details below.


How to turn it on / off

To turn this feature on you need a Pro+ subscription. You can start a free 14-day trial today to get started.

To turn it on go to your Account page, and in the Sharing Settings section hit Open on the Webhook block:

Sharing Settings on the Account  Page
Sharing Settings on the Account page

In the popup, paste in the URL where you wish the webhook request to be made to.

Configuring the Webhook

The easiest way to test your webhook is to use a free service like https://webhook.site - you can paste in your personal webhook.site URL and then try taking a photo with the iOS app (you must launch the event, not preview).

To turn it off, open the Webhook block again, remove the URL so that it is blank, and Save Changes.


Technical Details

The webhook request is an HTTP POST request with a JSON body, with Content-Type set to application/json
