About Webhooks

Learn how webhooks work in EverTransit to help you build integrations.

What are webhooks?

EverTransit uses webhooks to notify your application when an event happens in your fleet. Webhooks are useful for events like when a ride is created, a ride status is updated, an invoice is created, or when a driver is assigned to a ride. When one of those events is triggered, we'll send an HTTP POST with a JSON payload to the webhook's configured URL. You can then use these notifications to execute actions in your backend systems.

Use cases

Webhooks can be used to update an external issue tracker, trigger CI builds, update a backup mirror, or even deploy to your production server. You're only limited by your imagination.

What is a webhook endpoint?

A webhook endpoint is the same as any other page on your website. It’s an HTTPS endpoint on your server with a URL. You can use one endpoint to handle several different event types at once or set up individual endpoints for specific events.
