What are Webhooks and how to use them in Strapi

1

Webhooks is a term you might have heard before in other apps, and you might have been hooked on it (pun intended 😉), wondering what it is about. We are very excited to announce that the Webhooks feature is now available in the latest version of Strapi released today! The full changelog can be found in the repository here.

Hi, i am new to strapi and couldn’t understand how to use webhooks.

Requirement: whenever admin adds a content in collection (notifications), the event should be triggered with the latest data(eg: we are back with new offers) and it should be visible on react/next js website without refreshing the webpage.

We have created the webhook. But do we subscribe to the data that is sent from it?

Do we need another api endpoint for it?

Created a Webhook to post change notifications to Slack but it doesn’t work.

Also running Trigger to test shows Error 400: no_text
