# Creating Webhook Triggers ### How to Create and Use Webhooks with QuickReply for Automated Messaging Integrate QuickReply with third-party applications by creating webhooks that trigger automated messages - ideal for streamlining communications, such as user onboarding or notifications. {% embed url="" %} Follow these steps to set up, map data, and automate messaging with personalised content. **Step 1:** Open the **Data Source** section from the QuickReply menu.

**Step 2:** Click **New Webhook** to create a webhook integration.

**Step 3:** Copy the generated **endpoint URL**. This is your webhook endpoint for receiving data. **Step 4:** Trigger a test event to this endpoint from a tool like Postman. Refresh the page to confirm that the event was received.

{% hint style="success" %} **Step 5:** Ensure your event data includes a valid **phone number key** (with country code). This is required for WhatsApp message delivery. {% endhint %} **Step 6:** After confirming the webhook works, set up a **new event** and map the fields from your payload to the desired attributes. Add a filter if needed.

**Step 7:** Define the data attributes such as **Phone**, **Name**, or any custom field.

**Step 8:** If the attribute (like “Age”) does not exist, type the name, create a new data type, and select the field.

**Step 9:** Save the event configuration. You now have a webhook ready to receive and process data from any external system. *** ### Using a Single Webhook for Multiple Events Handle different event types through a single webhook endpoint by adding an event identifier in your payload. This allows for unique data flows based on event names. **Step 1:** Go to your existing **Webhook** and trigger another event with an extra key, such as **event\_name** set to a specific value (e.g., “new user created”). **Step 2:** Filter incoming data in the event configuration using this key. Example: if **event\_name** matches “new user created”, map the corresponding fields and sync them with the user’s profile.

**Step 3:** Save the event configuration. You now have multiple events routed through a single webhook, each triggering its own workflow.

**Step 4:** Open the **Conversations** section and view **Profile Attributes** to confirm that data like name and age is received and updated instantly.

**Step 5:** Edit an attribute (e.g., change the user’s name) and trigger the endpoint again to see real-time updates. *** ### Automating Message Journeys with Webhook Events Launch powerful automation flows—like nurturing sequences—by linking webhook events to QuickReply journeys. **Step 1:** Start a new **Journey** and select the custom webhook event as the trigger.

**Step 2:** Choose from available events (e.g., order create, user delete) to assign as a trigger for this journey.

**Step 3:** Proceed to define the journey steps—add a **Send WhatsApp Message Node**. Select your message template.

**Step 4:** Insert a **wait** step (e.g., wait three days), then schedule another message or action.

**Step 5:** Personalize messages using dynamic fields from your webhook payload, such as **name** or **age**. Set up fallbacks for missing attributes (e.g., use “hello user” if name is missing).

**Step 6:** Save the journey and configure an exit event so users don’t receive unnecessary messages if a specific event occurs (e.g., **test event** ends the journey for “new user created”). **Step 7:** Publish the journey and test by sending an event—watch messages send instantly, and users exit the journey as intended.
