Send Bringg Webhooks
Set up webhooks to sync related systems.
Use Bringg webhooks to notify other enterprise systems in real time as soon as a predefined event occurs. For example, update your order management systems (OMS) when an order arrives at its destination.
Subscribing to webhooks keeps your external systems updated. This prevents the accidental overwriting of data when the system sends updates back to Bringg via API. For example, if you update a waypoint address in Bringg, the updated address is included in the next webhook from Bringg to your OMS. Then, when your OMS sends an update to Bringg – say, to add a note – your OMS sends the current data, including the updated address from Bringg.
Bringg webhooks are sent to your systems using HTTP POST methods that do not require polling (requesting data via API). To receive webhooks, you only need to register once per event. Every time that event occurs, the webhook is sent to the URLs you included in your webhook registration.
