Webhooks

Learn how ⚡️claimr webhooks deliver real-time updates to your applications, enhancing efficiency and user engagement.

Understanding webhooks and endpoints

Webhooks are a powerful tool for staying informed about real-time events happening within your claimr campaigns. They provide an efficient way to receive instant updates, allowing your application to react dynamically to user actions and provide a more personalized experience.

What is a webhook?

A webhook is an automated message that claimr sends to your application whenever a specific event occurs in your campaigns. Instead of your application constantly checking for new information (a process called "polling"), claimr proactively notifies you when something important happens, such as a user completing a task or claiming a reward.

Webhooks in claimr have an organization-wide scope. This means that any user activity within your entire organization, across all associated campaigns, will trigger a notification to your registered endpoint.

What is an endpoint?

To receive these webhook messages, you need to set up a dedicated URL on your server, called an endpoint. This endpoint acts as the receiving address where claimr can deliver these real-time updates. It's important to ensure that your endpoint is properly configured to receive and process incoming data.

Why use webhooks?

Webhooks offer several advantages over traditional polling methods:

• Real-time updates: Get instant notifications about important events, enabling your application to react quickly and provide timely feedback to users.

• Efficient data handling: Receive only the data you need, when you need it, reducing unnecessary data transfer and processing.

• Reduced polling: Eliminate the need for your application to continuously check for updates, saving resources and improving performance.
