New Webhooks Dashboard: Powerful, User-friendly Integration Management

8 mths ago

Webhooks have become a powerful way to integrate different applications and platforms, allowing for real-time data sharing and automated workflows. If you're using Forumbee to power your online community and utilizing webhooks to connect it with various tools, you'll love our newest feature update: the Webhooks Dashboard.

What are Webhooks?

Webhooks are automated notifications sent from one application (like your Forumbee community) to another, triggered by specific events. Think of them like instant updates: when a new member joins, a post is created, or a topic is liked, a webhook can notify your connected applications. This enables many types of powerful integrations.

The New Forumbee Webhooks Dashboard

Previously, managing webhooks in Forumbee involved a bit of behind-the-scenes work. Now, the process is a breeze with our new visual Webhooks Dashboard. Here's what it gives you:

Centralized Monitoring: View all your defined webhooks and their statuses in one place. Quickly identify successes and failures.
Detailed Event Log: See exactly when webhooks were triggered, what events initiated them, and their delivery status.
Intelligent Error Handling: When endpoints fail, get easy-to-understand HTTP status codes. Click to view the exact payloads sent and error messages, making debugging simple.
Retry Functionality: Fixed a problematic endpoint? Retry sending failed webhooks right from the dashboard.
Instant Email Alerts: Receive immediate email notifications when a webhook endpoint fails. Never miss a potential integration problem.

Maintaining Integration Health: Proactively monitor the success and failure rates of your webhooks. Receive email alerts when there are issues, so you can react quickly and keep your integrations running smoothly.
