Webhook API is now generally available (GA)
Ben Wong
Blackbaud Employee
We're excited to announce the general availability of the Webhook API. Any SKY Developer with a Standard SKY API subscription will be able to make API calls to the Webhook API to manage their webhook subscriptions.What are webhooks?
Webhooks are messages that get sent to applications when an event occurs. This technology enables applications to respond to changes in data in near real-time.
The Webhook API enables applications to subscribe to specific event types that occur within a Blackbaud environment. When the event occurs in the environment, e.g. when a new gift is added, a light-weight message will be sent to the application to with some details of the change e.g. the gift ID and the constituent ID. The application can then use SKY API to get the additional details of the records associated with the event.
What are webhook subscriptions?
To receive messages when an event occurs, your application will need to have a subscription to the specific event type within the environment where the application is connected. To create a subscription with the Webhook API, the application will need to provide a URL for an endpoint where the webhook message will be sent.
Learn more about the Webhook API from the API Reference page. As always, we'd love to hear about what you create!
