Cincopa Webhooks

Cincopa provides an API for webhooks that enables automation, collaboration, and workflow optimization. Webhooks allow external applications to receive real-time notifications about various events within the Cincopa platform, streamlining team communication and content management.

What Are Webhooks?

Webhooks are automated messages sent from Cincopa when specific events occur. These messages can trigger actions in external applications, making them highly useful for integration with platforms like Slack, FTP, and project management tools.

Key Benefits of Cincopa Webhooks

• Automated Notifications – Instantly notify team members when assets are uploaded, modified, or deleted.
• Integration with Slack – Send real-time alerts to a Slack channel when new media assets are added.
• FTP File Management – Automatically notify users when files are uploaded via FTP.
• Custom Workflow Automation – Build automated processes based on webhook events.

Setting Up Webhooks

To create a webhook, follow these steps:

1. Access the Cincopa API Webhook Settings – Go to the Cincopa API documentation to find details on webhook setup.
2. Choose the Event to Monitor – Select one or multiple events you want to receive notifications for.
3. Specify the Callback URL – Define the endpoint where Cincopa should send the webhook notifications.
4. Secure the Webhook – Use authentication headers or secret keys to validate webhook requests.
5. Test the Webhook – Ensure your integration is working correctly by triggering test events.

Handling Webhook Responses

It is recommended that your webhook endpoint responds with an HTTP 200 status code to acknowledge successful receipt. If Cincopa does not receive a success response, it will attempt to resend the webhook notification.
