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.
