Webhook Ingestion

Webhook ingestion provides a simplified API for receiving data from external systems that support outbound webhooks. It is a subset of the Data Ingestion API optimised for third-party integrations.

For full documentation on webhook payloads, authentication, JSON flattening, and examples, see Webhooks in Data Connectivity.

Configuring External Systems

When setting up a webhook in an external system, you need:

Setting	Value
URL	`https://inspire.yourcompany.com/api/webhook/{stream}`
Method	POST
Content-Type	application/json
Authentication	Bearer token — your `ik_` ingest key

Common Integrations

System	Webhook Support
GitHub	Repository events, CI/CD status
Slack	Slash commands, event subscriptions
Zapier	Any Zapier-supported trigger
Microsoft Power Automate	HTTP action
IFTTT	Webhooks service
Jira	Issue events
PagerDuty	Incident events

Each of these systems can POST JSON data to your Inspire webhook endpoint. Configure the authentication header with your ingest key.
