The data is sent or received via a unique URL that ProcessMaker and that application or service can parse. Learn more.

That signal triggers when either a signal-type BPMN 2.0 element in a Process's Request calls it or an event in a subscribing ProcessMaker Collection occurs. A webhook automates the sending or receiving of data to or from another application or third-party service when an event occurs. The data is sent or received via a unique URL that ProcessMaker and that application or service can parse. Learn more.
