Creating new Webhook to receive product updates

Webhooks allows Jasper PIM to call an API under your control to notify about updates on some entities like products and categories.

A webhook for products will hit the configured callback URL whenever a product is created, updated or deleted. This is usefull when you want to coordinate tasks with other softwares / services that your company uses in reaction to some new product information or status.

To create a new webhook you will have to use Jasper API (https://api.jasperpim.com/#introduction )

Here is a detailed descriptions of the properties you have to send to our API in order to create a webhook to receive product updates:

“name”: The name of the webhook. It’s always best to try to come up with a self-explanatory name.
“callback_url“: The URL Jasper PIM will request in order to delivery the webhook payload, usually an endpoint in an API under your control.
“entity_type“: The entity you want to watch. (product, category, brand, concrete_entity)
“include_entity_data”: true or false, whether the webhook payload will contain the product data or not.
“headers“: a JSON in the format of {“header“: “value”} that you want Jasper’s webhooks to send alongside the payload when calling the “callback_url”.
“retry_policy“: If the callback url responds with an error, what is the policy to retry. Can be one of the following
- “no_retry”: We will not retry at all.
- “linear”: Each retry will be executed after a set amount of time.
- “exponential”: Each retry will take longer to be executed than the last failed one.
“minimum_retry_interval”: How many seconds to wait between each webhook retry.
“retry_limit”: How many times should Jasper PIM retry a failed webhook.

Here’s an example of a product webhook creation request:

{
  "name": "Product Updates Webhook",
  "callback_url": "https://myapi.com/callbacks/products",
  "entity_type": "product",
  "include_entity_data": true,
  "headers": {
    "My-Custom-Header": "abc123"
  },
  "retry_policy": "linear",
  "minimum_retry_interval": 300,
  "retry_limit": 5
}

When your webhook is created you will receive a “signing_secret” on the response payload, we will always send this secret on our webhooks so that you can know that it is comming from Jasper, take good care of it.
