Über HTTP Webhook

Webhooks enable applications to notify external systems in real time, reducing the need for frequent polling and minimizing API calls. Instead of periodically checking for updates, the system receives event-based callbacks only when relevant changes occur.

The UiPath HTTP Webhook connector allows you to trigger workflows directly from vendor applications. You can create instant triggers for events for any third-party application that supports outbound webhook notifications, even if it is not part of the connector catalog.

You can also apply event data filters to specify the exact conditions under which a webhook event should trigger a workflow.

Wie es funktioniert

The HTTP Webhook trigger generates a dynamic public callback URL. Copy and configure this URL in the vendor application's webhook settings only after your trigger has been created in Orchestrator.

When an event occurs in the vendor system:

1. The vendor sends the event payload to the configured URL.
2. Integration Service receives the payload and evaluates it against your configured event data filters.
3. If a match is found, Integration Service triggers the workflow execution through Orchestrator.

Webhook payloads are processed the same way as any other trigger events.
