Hi everyone, I’m Roberto Moscatelli from the Docebo Support team and I would like to share something about testing Webhook.

If you are not familiar with Webhooks you can use a test website and check how they works.

 

So, first of all go to https://webhook.site 

 

You will see a page like this:

Then copy the “Unique URL” clicking on “copy to clipboard”:

Now move to your platform and go to Admin Menu-Webhooks and click on “+” icon to create a new webhook:

Now Just insert a name (like “test”), paste the payload URL and select an event:

In this example I selected “User has been created”.

Then Save and make sure to activate the webhook clicking on the status as below:

So now create a user under “Admin Menu-User management” and go back to the website https://webhook.site

 

You should see the event like this:


 

mRCTmNAIo_CR5cdLKnRI8A1sj3-S28QO1Jd75q8gpDCJQAMqBWdKXIff6Mr49fME1OsHFyo8p7pgFAjorNYr8ObEP7tBCaxK0k7xanjK6N9F0UrCkkk5cHVsb1_fxJOhTROwuklli2VLejUCgzWblOWM3rISuk_5s01R1BfB1Z0IcX0S8o0lRCSzOiU3Yw

 

Now you can do the test using also the other events!

Nice! There’s a couple other similar options shown here too in case folks are interested in testing and then using the webhook data too:

I used the same website for testing and the webhooks arrive very very slow, like 30 minutes or more after the trigger. Is it an expected behavior or what can I do to make it quicker? I don’t expect it in the same second, I understand there’s is a queue system, a few minutes should be decent, but 20-30 minutes doesn’t seem odd?
