Webhooks
Webhooks actively report events to a target system as soon as they occur in Nexcal. Instead of polling for data repeatedly, your system receives a message when something relevant happens. This lets you trigger downstream processes without constantly checking Nexcal.
Availability
Webhooks are available as a standard feature from the Power plan and are included in Enterprise. They are not available in Starter and Pro. For details on availability by plan, see plans and feature scope.
How webhooks work
- You store a target address that Nexcal sends messages to.
- When an event occurs, Nexcal sends a message to that address.
- Your system receives the message and processes it further.
For targeted access to data, the REST API is intended instead. Both integrations can be combined effectively.
Reliability and errors
If a message cannot be delivered, the target system is usually temporarily unreachable. How Nexcal handles failed transfers is described in errors and reprocessing.
Hinweis: For Power, standardized payloads and defined limits apply. Enterprise customers can agree on individual webhook arrangements.
What to keep in mind
For webhooks to work reliably, the target system must be able to receive incoming messages consistently. After setup, verify with a few events that the messages arrive as expected and are processed correctly. Treat the stored target address and the associated credentials as confidential, since events from your workspace are reported through them.
