Essentials
Webhooks Configuration
Semaphore provides a webhook configuration portal that allows you to set up and manage notifications for various events related to your account.
Accessing the Configuration Portal
To access the webhook configuration portal, follow these steps:
- Send a POST request to the following endpoint:
- Replace
YOUR_API_KEY
with your actual API key. - This request will redirect you to the Svyx portal.
- Navigate to the webhook configuration portal:
- After executing the request, you will be directed to the Svyx portal where you can configure your webhooks.
Configuring Your Webhook
Once you’re in the Svyx portal, follow these steps to set up your webhook:
-
Enter your webhook URL:
- In the portal, input the URL where you want to receive notifications.
-
Save the configuration:
- Save your settings to activate the webhook.
Ensure that the endpoint you provide is capable of receiving POST requests, as this is how Semaphore will send notifications.
Best Practices
- Security: Implement authentication on your webhook endpoint to ensure that only Semaphore can send notifications to it.
- Reliability: Your endpoint should respond with a 2xx status code to acknowledge receipt of the webhook. Semaphore may retry failed deliveries.
- Processing: Design your webhook receiver to process notifications asynchronously to avoid timeouts.
Webhook Events
Semaphore can notify you about various events through webhooks. Some common events include:
- Company data updates
- Search results availability
- Document processing completion
For a complete list of available webhook events and their payload structures, please refer to our Webhook Events Documentation.
By properly configuring and utilizing webhooks, you can create a more responsive and efficient integration with Semaphore’s services.
