Candu webhooks allow you to automatically send data from Candu (the sender) to another application (the receiver), such as Slack! This allows you to receive immediate updates for important CTAs clicked or Form responses submitted.

Webhooks allow you to send automatically:

  • Content views: triggered whenever one of your users views embedded Candu content

  • Interaction Events: triggered whenever one of your users clicks on an interactive Candu component such as a card or button

  • Form Responses: triggered when a Candu Form is submitted. Learn more about how to send out a form response.


Connecting Candu Webhooks to Slack

In your Candu account, you can access Webhooks by going to 'Settings' > 'Integrations' > 'Outgoing Webhooks.'
