Introduction
Bob provides the ability to setup webhooks, to listen to system events and to send notifications.
When you subscribe to a Bob event, you provide a webhook URL from Cyclr that will receive notifications.
Setup within Cyclr
The Cyclr bob HR Connector has many Webhook Methods found within its “Webhooks” Method Category. You should first create an integration and drag in the appropriate Method for the event you wish to use.
You will need to manually provide the URL of your Cyclr Webhook Step into Bob.
Setup within Bob
- Within Bob, ensure you have permissions to set up webhooks.
- Review the Bob documentation on Getting started with APIs and Webhooks to ensure you understand all the required steps and settings.
Adding a Webhook Event
Bob will call the webhook listener whenever an event occurs, and information about the event will be included in the event’s payload.
- Within Bob, from the top left, select Bob products > System Settings.
- Select Integration tools > Webhooks.
- Select Add webhook.
- Enter a Name.
- Enter Endpoint URL of your webhook step, .
- From Version, select version 2 – v2.
- From the Events dropdown menu, check the boxes next to the events or event groups you want to subscribe to. You can either search for event names or scroll down the list.
- Enable Exclude events triggered by the system to prevent any changes made automatically by Bob – i.e., not by a user – from being included in the subscriber and triggering an event.
- In Trigger events for specific people, select whose data should trigger events.
- Select Add.
- Bob will now send a test event to the URL you provided with the “Ping test” string to confirm your setup is functioning correctly.
