Webhook Basics

Webhook endpoints are URLs defined by users to which Ordway sends events. A single event may be sent to many webhook endpoints. An event is an occurrence, such as a product being created or an invoice is paid.

Note: Webhooks are asynchronous processes that take anywhere from  0-60 minutes to be sent to the target system. Webhooks are not instantaneous. Delays can occur when other priority jobs such as Bill, Payment, or Journal Entry Runs are in progress.

When to Use Webhooks

Webhooks are used to keep multiple systems in sync or for you to customize your workflow. You can set up a webhook to enter a journal entry into Quickbooks or your financial system as soon as it is created, or you may want to configure a webhook to send a request to your order fulfillment system as soon as an order is created.
