Webhooks

Webhooks allow you to receive emails and/or HTTP requests when triggered by events on the Dialogtrail platform.

The triggers include:

• SUBSCRIBE is triggered when a Facebook Messenger user subscribes to your page.
• UNSUBSCRIBE is triggered when a Facebook Messenger user unsubscribes from your page.
• VARIABLE_UPDATED is triggered when a user sets or updates a variable, you also need to specify which variable(s) you want to listen to.
• DATA_RECEIVED is triggered when a messenger user enters their email or phone number.
• PRODUCT_RECOMMENDATION is triggered whenever a user receives a product recommendation.¹

You may select one or more of the following data as requirements for a webhook to be triggered.

• EXTERNAL_ID (legacy) user id received through out old popup
• EMAIL is the user’s email address.
• TEL is the user’s phone number.

For example, you may create a webhook triggered by the VARIABLE_UPDATED trigger but you only want it to be triggered if Dialogtrail has the user’s email address. In order to achieve this, you can set EMAIL as a requirement.

Email

Enter the target email addresses that the email should be sent to. You may set the subject and content to anything you want including placeholders (see below) or leave them blank for an automatically generated email.

Request

Specify the URL, method and body you want to use, optionally along with authentication. Both the URL and body may include placeholders (see below).

You can test your request by clicking on Done. The request will be sent according to your specification with example placeholder values.

Example URL: https://app.dialogtrail.com/users/{{user_external_email}}/tags

Example Body:

{
  "tag_name": "{{variable.name}}",
  "tag_value": "{{variable.value}}"
}
