Emissary is created to work well in a digital ecosystem of many services and applications. One way it does this is by supporting WebHooks as a way to notify external services of key events within your website.
For example, you can configure WebHooks to notify an external email server every time a new signs up, or whenever a new piece of content is published by you or one of your users.
Setting Up WebHooks
To manage WebHooks, sign in to your website as an administrator, then go to the “Server” admin section, and click on “WebHooks” in the menu bar.
When you create a WebHook, you can select one or more system events that will trigger the WebHook. And when a WebHook is triggered, Emissary will send an HTTP POST request to the URL that you have configured.
