Setting Up Event-Specific Webhooks

​

Steps to create a webhook for an event type

1

Access Event Types

Log in to your Cal ID account and navigate to the Event Types tab in your dashboard.

2

Edit event type

Locate the specific event type you want to track, click the three dots on its card, and select Edit.

3

Open the Webhooks tab

Within the event editor, click on the Webhooks tab at the top of the page.

4

Add new webhook

Click the + Create button.

5

Configure webhook details

• Subscriber URL: Paste the listener URL provided by the application you are sending data to (e.g., Zapier, Pipedream, or your own server).

• Secret (optional but recommended): Enter a secret key to verify that the payload is authentic and has not been tampered with.

• Event triggers: Select the specific events that will trigger this webhook, such as Booking Created, Booking Cancelled, or Meeting Ended.

6

Save

Click the Create Webhook button to activate the webhook.

Important considerations

• Scopes: Event-type level webhooks trigger only for that specific event. To track all events for a user or team, create a webhook at the User or Team level instead. To do that, visit Webhook in Cal ID.
• Team managed events: For team-managed events, it is highly recommended to create the webhook directly on the parent event type within the team dashboard to ensure it captures all bookings.
• Custom payloads: You can customize the data structure sent to your URL by using custom payload templates.
