How to call Webhooks with your Waitlist

Add a Webhook to your Waitlist to be notified when a new user signs up, or when you offboard a Signup from your dashboard. The Webhooks return private Signup information, so make sure that you trust your Webhook URLs.

Steps to activate

  1. Navigate to the "Features" tab on your Dashboard.
  2. Add your Webhook URL in the "Webhook URL" section as seen below. Waitlist dashboard: Webhook URL
  3. When a user signs up, we will send a POST request to your webhook url.

Please note that any webhook POST request will timeout if it cannot establish a connection with your server in 30 seconds, or if it does not receive a response from the server in 90 seconds.
