Registering a Webhook
To your bot building platform with Zobot via Webhook, follow the steps:
- Navigate to Settings > Widgets > Add and give a name for your widget.
- Then, choose a brand for which you want to create a widget.
- Then, choose the modules.
- Then, choose the platform to build your widget on - Webhooks
- Then, click Create Widget.
- The Webhooks configuration window appears. Provide the URL to be invoked for creating a connection.
Webhook Pre-requisites
- The "https" URL is recommended for security reasons.
- Our server can not connect with the URL with the port number.
- Make sure the URL can be accessed in public API clients such as Postman and Talend API Tester to be accessible in our server.
- Once the URL is provided, it will be pinged to get validated with the read time out of 5 seconds.
- If it is not reached within 5 seconds, an HTTP HEAD request gets triggered to the URL to check the status code 200.
- Ensure the webhook returns the response within 10 seconds. If not, the bot will not work.
- Furthermore, generate a public key to secure your webhook.
- Then, click Save.
- You can preview your widget before you publish it in the Widget Preview window. You can choose the module of your choice and preview the widget.
- Once you are done, click Publish.
- You can also edit the URL, if required .
