Webhooks

Fast-Weigh Webhooks

The GraphQL API and Webhooks are an additional feature, and Webhooks will need to be enabled separately from the API. If you would like to add the GraphQL API and/or Webhooks to your Fast Weigh subscription, contact us at 865-219-2980 or [email protected].

Webhooks are used to "listen" for events within Fast-Weigh, which can then trigger further actions based on your business logic.

Getting Started

To get started with enabling Webhooks, navigate to the API Info page in the Web Portal

https://portal.fast-weigh.com/APIInfoportal.fast-weigh.com

Here, you should see a "Webhooks Dashboard" section under the API endpoint

If you do not see the Webhooks Dashboard section in the API Info page, contact Fast-Weigh support to enable Webhooks! Contacts us at 865-219-2980 or [email protected].

Click the "Show" button to navigate to our webhook provider: Svix. You will be automatically logged in to your Fast-Weigh x Svix dashboard.

Click the "+ Add Endpoint" button

This will bring up the endpoint configuration page

Add in your "Endpoint URL". This will be the "destination" of the webhook call, so you will need to have somewhere pre-set up to listen for the webhooks. For example: Zapier

Optionally, set a Description of what the endpoint is for so that you can quickly identify it later.

The next step is to select the event(s) that you want to trigger the webhook. For example, you could select ticket.created, ticket.updated, and ticket.voided to track the lifecycle of a ticket.

Webhook Details

Once the webhook is created, you will be routed to a webhook overview page. You can also access this page from the webhook home screen and selecting the endpoint.

Here, you can edit the endpoint, edit the events that trigger the webhook, view a stream of all of the events that have been fired, inspect individual events, replay events, fire test events, and copy the webhook's "Signing Secret".

Testing events can be useful to preview the payload that is sent for any specific event
