Working with Webhooks in PPM Express

Webhooks are used to receive instant notifications about events happening in PPM Express as HTTP POST requests. 


Managing Webhooks


Delete

Note: To create a Webhook, you need to have Administrate app permission in PPM Express. 


Webhooks are managed along with Public API via Swagger UI that is accessible from the Automation menu or any other API tool like Postman. To manage Webhooks, you need to generate a token from the Automation menu with any scopes.


Delete

Note: You can create up to 50 webhooks per tenant. 


1. Create a Webhook:

To create a new webhook, make a POST request to 

host/@tenant-name/api-version/Webhooks 

with the following body:

{
  "eventTypes": [
    "Project:Created",
    "Project:Updated",
    "Project:Deleted",
     "Idea:Created",
     "Idea:Updated",
     "Idea:Deleted",
     "Task:Created",
     "Task:Updated",
     "Task:Deleted",
     "KeyDate:Created",
     "KeyDate:Updated",
     "KeyDate:Deleted"
  ],
  "headers": [
    {
      "name": "Authorization",
      "value": "Bearer token_value"
    },
    {
      "name": "custom_header",
      "value": "header_value"
    }
  ],
  "httpVerb": "POST",
  "url": "https://example.com"
}

 

2. Retrieve the list of Webhooks:

To retrieve the list of all created webhooks, make a GET request to 

host/@tenant-name/api-version/Webhooks

To view data regarding one specific webhook, please use this URL instead: 

host/@tenant-name/api-version/Webhooks/{id}

 Example of the response body:

{
   "data": [
     {
      "id": "041e7f10-2ac7-4ba6-bfd7-12753c333507",
      "eventTypes": [
        "Project:Created"
      ],
      "headers": [
        {
          "name": "Authorization",
          "value": "Bearer token_value"
        }
      ],
      "httpVerb": "POST",
      "url": "https://example.com"
     }
   ]
}

 

3. Delete a Webhook:

To delete all created webhooks, make a DELETE request to 

host/@tenant-name/api-version/Webhooks

In case you wish to delete one specific webhook, please use this URL instead: 

host/@tenant-name/api-version/Webhooks/{id}
