In emSigner, a webhook is a mechanism that allows the system to send real-time notifications to other applications or systems when certain events occur. When a predefined action or event takes place in emSigner—like document signing or workflow completion—the webhook sends an HTTP POST request to a specified URL (the webhook endpoint) in the external system.
This request contains data about the event, enabling the external system to process it further, such as updating a database, triggering other workflows, or notifying users.
For example, if you want an external system to be notified immediately after a document is signed, you could configure a webhook in emSigner to send a notification to that system's endpoint. This integration approach is beneficial for automating workflows and keeping multiple systems synchronized in real-time.
Step 1: Login to emSigner Super Admin account. Click on ‘Settings’ tab to open the Admin Settings. Click on ‘Webhook’ below Admin Settings.
Step 2: Enter all the relevant details in the respective fields. Users can enter the name in the “Name” field and endpoint in the target field and tick the necessary checkbox in the event fields. Click on the Save button once all the information is provided.
The users can track the status of the documents based on the information related to different action events sent to the endpoint.
Events like Recalled, Declined, Completion and Signed/Reviewed can be ticked as per the requirement.
Upon successful completion of any one of the above mentioned events, notification will be triggered and JSON data will be pushed to Webhook endpoint with the document status details.
