Description
Send webhooks from Laravel apps
A webhook is a way for an app to provide information to another app about a particular event. The way the two apps communicate is with a simple HTTP request.
This is the simplest way to call a webhook:
WebhookCall::create() ->url('https://other-app.com/webhooks') ->payload(['key' => 'value']) ->useSecret('sign-using-this-secret') ->dispatch();
This will send a post request to https://other-app.com/webhooks. The body of the request will be JSON encoded version of the array passed to payload. The request will have a header called Signature that will contain a signature the receiving app can use to verify the payload hasn't been tampered with. Dispatching a webhook call will also fire a DispatchingWebhookCallEvent.
If the receiving app doesn't respond with a response code starting with 2, the package will retry calling the webhook after 10 seconds. If that second attempt fails, the package will attempt to call the webhook a final time after 100 seconds. Should that attempt fail, the FinalWebhookCallFailedEvent will be raised.
