Outbound Webhooks

Web & Chatbot Engineering·Technical Definition

Webhooks deliver real-time HTTP POST notifications to your backend whenever key events (like completed chats or captured leads) occur.

Core Technical Definition

Outbound Webhooks are automated HTTP POST notifications dispatched to external endpoints when specific events—such as captured leads or answered inquiries—occur.

How Webhooks works in practice

Instead of external systems constantly polling an API for new records, webhooks push data immediately as events happen.

Payloads contain event metadata, timestamps, and customer data, protected by HMAC-SHA256 request signatures for tamper verification.

How SiteMind implements Webhooks

SiteMind dispatches real-time webhooks for `chat.answered` and `lead.captured` events with HMAC-SHA256 signature verification and payload testing.
