The Webhook integration is a way to get your updated Tracking Plan distributed to an endpoint of your choice. This happens when a branch is merged or when the publish button is clicked in the integration interface.

Configure the Webhook integration

Webhook URL

To enable the Webhook integration you need to configure it with a URL where you want the updated tracking plan to be delivered.

The Tracking Plan will be delivered with a POST request containing the Tracking Plan on a JSON format. The only requirement for this endpoint is to return a 200 response status code when it has successfully received the tracking plan.

Payload Format

Currently there are three different payload formats you can choose from for the webhook: Snowplow Schemas, Avo Json, and Json Schema (default).

💡 To see a preview of the exact Webhook payload in your Avo workspace choose Publishing in the sidebar, then pick your Webhook from the menu and expand the Payload preview section

Snowplow Schemas

Json containing a Snowplow Schema for every event included in the Publishing integration. These schemas can for example be used to integrate Avo with Snowplow Iglu.

You can provide your own vendor value via the "Vendor" input in the publishing integration config.
