Webhook

The Webhook Sink Connector allows you to consume events from the GlassFlow pipeline by sending transformed data to a custom webhook URL you specified. This is ideal for integrating with external systems, triggering workflows, or sending notifications based on real-time events processed through GlassFlow.

Connector Details

To configure the Webhook Sink Connector, you will need the following details:

• Webhook URL: The URL where the events will be sent. This should be provided by you or the service you want to integrate with.

Setting Up the Webhook Sink Connector

Using WebApp

1. Log in to the GlassFlow WebApp and navigate to the "Pipelines" section.
2. Create a new pipeline.
3. Configure the Data Source:
   • Choose "Webhook" as the connector type under the Data Sink configuration.
   • Choose HTTP "Method" under the Connector Details section.
   • Enter the Webhook URL where you want the output events to be sent.
   • Configure any required headers, such as authorization tokens or custom content types.
4. Click Next Step and confirm your pipeline data source settings.

Using Python SDK

Try out and run Jupyter nobotebook example on the GitHub repo to integrate with a Webhook URL using Python SDK.

Once configured, your GlassFlow pipeline will automatically send events to the specified Webhook URL whenever data is processed.

Example Use Cases

• Triggering Automated Workflows: Send processed events to automation tools like Zapier or IFTTT to trigger predefined workflows.
• Real-Time Notifications: Push events to messaging platforms like Slack or Microsoft Teams to notify your team about important updates or anomalies.
• Integration with Custom Systems: Send data to custom backend services that perform further processing or logging of the events.

Security Considerations

Ensure that your Webhook URL is secured with proper authentication mechanisms, such as API keys or tokens, to prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, use HTTPS to encrypt data in transit, safeguarding the information sent from GlassFlow.
