      Webhook Integrations - Creating and Editing

      A webhook is an HTTP-based callback function that provides event-driven communication between Konexus and your systems.

      In order to receive webhooks, you must create one or more subscriptions. Subscriptions define what event types you would like to receive web hooks for, the URI they wish to receive them on, and the type of security required by that URI. Subscriptions can be created using the Konexus web application or Konexus Subscription API.

      Access to integrations requires integrations to be enabled on your account. Please reach out to your Konexus Account Manager to enable access.

      Creating and Editing Webhook Integrations

      The Following outlines the process for both creating and editing webhook integrations within the Konexus system. For more technical documentation, visit the Webhook Integrations Overview page.

      Event Filters

      What is an Event Filter?

      An Event Filter is a set of conditions that should be applied to the webhook integration. These conditions will filter the incoming event activities and only apply actions when the incoming event meets the specified criteria.

      When creating a new filter, keep in mind that more than one filter can be applied and within each filter is a set of filter conditions. 

      Event filters are "or'd" together meaninIntegration - Konexusg, if the event activity meets the criteria of filter A OR filter B.

      Filter conditions are "and'd" together meaning, if the event activity meets the criteria of condition A AND condition B.

      Creating a new Event Filter

      1. Define the field to collect the values from

      • The field value is entered manually. The field relates to the incoming event (i.e. alerts, incident events, task lists, etc.)
      • The example below is access metadata fields from incident events and filtering them so that only the incidents with matching data will apply to this subscription.

      2. Define the Values

      Values for the filter condition are manually entered. Separate each value using a comma if you wish to include more than one value for a condition.

      2. Select the event types that your subscription should listen to

      Visit the Webhooks Overview page for more information on Event Types
