Webhooks

Receive Updates via Webhooks

Webhooks are callbacks that are sent to a URL when a certain event is triggered. They can be used to easily integrate StrawPoll with other services.

A webhook request will send JSON-data to the endpoint. Parts of the data structure depends on the event trigger type.

Event Triggers

Webhooks can currently be triggered by the following events:

  • Create poll ("create_poll")
  • Update poll ("update_poll")
  • Vote ("vote_poll")
  • Deadline ends ("deadline_poll")
  • Reset poll ("reset_poll")
  • Delete poll ("delete_poll")

See below for various request payload examples based on different trigger types.
