  • Updated

These examples are a guide to help you get started with webhooks and IFTTT. We have put together some simple webhooks popular with many of our users. 

Tip: if you find your webhook isn't working at any point, head to https://jsonformatter.curiousconcept.com and paste the code into the box. If there are any errors are found, it will highlight them for you.
