Overview

Learn about Wristband's webhook support.

ℹ️

Wristband webhooks are powered by Svix.

Intro to Webhooks

Webhooks are how Wristband notifies your application of significant events that occur within the platform. At their core, webhooks are just POST requests to a predetermined endpoint. The endpoint can be whatever you want; for example, you could create one endpoint that consumes all Wristband webhooks with a URL structure like: https://yourapp.com/webhooks/wristband.

Event Types

Each webhook event sent to your configured endpoints has a type associated with it; for example, v1.user.created. The type indicates several things:

  1. The trigger that caused the event to get sent. For instance, an event with type v1.user.created is triggered when a new user is created in your Wristband application.
  2. The structure of the payload sent to your webhook endpoints. Events with the same type will always have the same payload structure.
