We’re rolling out a new feature for all everybody today Webhooks! You can now trigger HTTP and HTTPS web requests to any server online with nothing more than Spark.publish("Hello World!"); You can setup webhooks to listen for events from your devices, and immediately trigger powerful side-effect…

Here’s your first tutorial :smile: [image] [Webhooks] Super Simple Motion Activated Push Notifications You are about to witness the power of the Particle Cloud like you’ve never seen before! Say you want to use a Motion Sensor to send yourself a Push Notification every time someone ente…

This is extremely exciting! I’ve been patiently waiting for Webhooks! Thanks for your hard work/efforts! Carsten

Really, really cool! The examples (and BDub’s example above) all show replacing a single JSON or form field; what if I want / need to replace multiple fields? It doesn’t look like I can really set more than one field given the template syntax… am I wrong? Thanks!

In the "json" parameter, dont pass in a complete json body like this: {"type": "note", "title": "Note Title", "body": "Note Body"} You would just pass in key:value: "json": { "type": "note", "title": "Note Title", "body": "Note Body" }, If that makes any since? Here is how to pass in m…

I was able to make it work with pushbullet (I guess basically the same as PushOver). For anyone asking, here is the json file I used: { "eventName": "pushbullet", "url": " https://api.pushbullet.com/v2/pushes ", "requestType": "POST", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer xxx", "Content-Type"…

Hi @hoxworth , Good question! A few people have asked for this feature since we launched, and it’s interesting, I think I can make it work. :slight_smile: I’ll add it to my backlog and build it when I get a chance. Thanks! David

In the Librato example the event name is “librato_”, but when Spark.publish is called librato_A0 is called. Is this a mistake, is there some regex magic going on or am I missing something? Edit: Also, I have a couple more questions about webhooks would this be the appropriate place to discuss th…

I am new to this stuff, so maybe a silly question: What do webhooks offer that is superior to using the REST API for a website? Thanks

Hi @electronut Webhooks can do HTTPS TLS/SSL whereas the Spark core cannot do that directly. So webhooks can act as a trusted intermediary similar to what IFTTT can be but with more flexibility.

New Feature! Webhooks!
