Introduction
Companies often rely on multiple platforms and integrations to establish a great marketing and sales process. Using Showpad to create the best buyer experience, it can be a timesaver to pass on specific information to your other marketing and sales platforms. Creating automated workflows saves time for sales and marketing teams by allowing them to stay in the same application. Showpad offers a way to automate specific actions related to sharing activity: webhooks.
A webhook allows you to receive a notification when an event that has occurred on the Showpad platform. Showpad sends a webhook notification containing a JSON payload in the body that describes to your webhook subscription endpoint. Once your endpoint receives the information, it can then execute a programmed action, such as:
- Logging share information to a CRM platform
- Adding custom objects to marketing automation platforms
- Posting messages on an internal communication platform
These are just a few examples. Through webhooks, you can build event-based and custom-built integrations for your organization. The possibilities are endless, you're in the designer seat of creating your perfect automation process.
