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

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 Rescheduled, or Booking Cancelled.

Important considerations
- Scopes: Event-type level webhooks trigger only for that specific event. To track every event across your account or a 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.
