How to catch a Webhook

I see examples on how to trigger/launch a Webhook. Is there a way to catch a Webhook in AppSheet from a 3rd party app?

There is Appsheet API, could help, but I never used it so I can’t tell you more

Can you please exemplify and give some details? What kinda case, what kinda API and what kinda 3rd party? Do you mean sending a HTTP Post request to AppSheet API? If that’s the case, as long as you structure the post body and the post request correctly, yes it’s possible.

This is a very common use case - say a 3rd party system (such as an EHR system) creates a customer and sends new customer as Webhook via HTTP POST to AppSheet to create/update customer in AppSheet database.
All examples are about sending a Webhook from AppSheet to others but not receiving a Webhook.

Thanks

You can create an HTTP POST request to AppSheet API as long as the 3rd party system let’s you to create webhook workflows. Then you can invoke AppSheet API to add/update/detele records from your tables.
