Webhooks

Webhooks are custom HTTP callbacks for events that take place in awork.

Key benefits and use cases

• Notify external tools about changes, for example when a task is created or a project status changes
• Call other APIs in response to specific events (for example, when a new task or time entry is created)
• Create automations or syncs so users can share data and collaborate across different tools
• Build custom integrations using webhooks and our API

How to configure a new webhook

First, you'll need a webhook endpoint to receive and inspect the webhook request.

Create a webhook endpoint

• Use a tool (for example, Pipedream) to create a webhook endpoint
• Copy the endpoint URL

Add the webhook in awork

• Go to Einstellungen (the gear icon in the bottom-left corner of the main menu) > Integrationen
• Open the Integrations-Bibliothek
• Under the API-Konnektoren category, select Webhooks
• Click Integration einrichten

Enter the details, select an event, and test

• Enter the required information, such as the Bezeichnung and URL
• Enable Authentifizierung if needed
• In the Auslösende Event(s) section, click Hinzufügen to select the awork event that should trigger the webhook
• If needed, deactivate Nur Events von Properties der ersten Ebene: By default, only first-level events are sent for task, project, and time-tracking properties. Changes to nested properties (such as tags) are ignored. This can significantly reduce the number of webhook requests.
• Test the webhook and check the request received in your endpoint tool
• Click Speichern

Manage existing webhooks

All webhooks are listed on the Integrations page under Bereits integriert.

From here, you can:

• Edit a webhook
• Pause a webhook
• Check the logs for a webhook
• Delete a webhook
