Custom Call Webhooks

Introduction

Marketing Edge Custom Webhooks build upon the standard call webhook functionality by allowing for the payload of the webhook to be defined according to the needs of the client or external system rather than requiring that a system accept the default webhook payload for calls.

Custom Webhooks allow you to register endpoints to receive HTTP requests with Call Data that has been defined in the webhook template. You can create new webhook template and webhook configuration through configuring them within the Marketing Edge portal. Note that this requires Administrator access.

Custom Webhook Template Configuration

Creating a webhook template will consist of assigning a unique Name, that will be referenced when associating the template to a webhook configuration, selecting a content type and specifying the message body. When specifying the message body, it is expected that the format will match the selected content type, but there is also a handy verification button that will ensure your payload is properly formatted.

Substitution tokens will be used to specify which Marketing Edge parameters will populate the parameters of the message body with data when sending the webhook, and a searchable list of all possible parameters will be displayed for reference purposes. See the Appendix for more details on the Marketing Edge parameters that can be assigned to a Custom Webhook.

Custom Webhook Configuration

You can configure webhooks within the client account under the “Settings” -> “Webhooks” menu. You can configure a callback URL that we will send an HTTP POST request to after each call is completed. Additionally, any time a call object is modified within the call log, we will send an HTTP POST request to the given URL as well. This allows you to avoid polling our API endpoints for updates to inbound calls.

Adding a new or editing an existing webhook will present the user with the webhook configuration listing all available Custom Webhook Templates. Public and Private Keys for verifying messages are available as with standard webhooks, and there is also the option of specifying basic authentication credentials that will be passed with every webhook message posted for this webhook configuration

Webhook configurations using Custom Webhook Templates can be configured to be triggers for Call Start, Call End and Call Processed events and the corresponding messages will be sent for ALL calls for ALL numbers within the organization. If the desired behaviour is to only send messages for calls to a subset of the numbers within an organization webhook filters can also be specified for the configured to ensure that messages will only be sent when the configured criteria is satisfied.

Substitution Parameters

When creating a custom webhook template it is essential to understand how to leverage substitution parameters to ensure that the webhook payload is populates with the correct data. See below for details on all of the possible substitution parameters that can be used in defining a custom webhook
