How to Send WalkMe Event Data to 3rd Party Systems Using Webhooks

Last Updated September 10, 2024

Brief Overview

Make data-driven decisions in real-time or trigger experiences on the spot by creating and customizing webhooks (AKA callbacks) to send WalkMe Event data to 3rd party systems you use to trigger specific outcomes.

Webhooks deliver real-time WalkMe Event information to your system of choice, triggered by the event itself. This means you receive information with no delay,  so your teams can take immediate action on time-sensitive information.

Webhooks can be used to add WalkMe Event data into your analytics / BI tool, or to trigger 3rd party APIs. Now when a user clicks on a ShoutOut, you can add them to an email list in your email marketing system, or when they respond to an NPS survey you can have an instant notification sent to a Slack channel. With webhooks, WalkMe can be built directly into your workflows, with no R&D effort.

To learn more about webhooks, please refer to the following article: What Are Webhooks?

Use Cases

  • Integrate WalkMe Event data into your analytics BI tool
  • Add users to an email list directly when a user engages with WalkMe
  • Instantly send notifications directly to Slack channels after users take action

Steps For Sending WalkMe Data Using Webhooks

    1. Go to the Integrations page in Insights at insights.walkme.com
    2. Click Webhooks under Real-Time Integrations
    3. Click + NEW WEBHOOK
    4. Give your webhook a name and click CONTINUE
    5. Enter the webhook event details
      1. Select a WalkMe Event from the Event dropdown
      2. Add optional conditions
      3.  In the Advanced > dropdown section you can specify which properties of your chosen event you want to
        • You can rename properties to match the destination system's expected attributes.
        • If you do not rename them, these are the values you will receive in the webhook call.
        • You can also set additional static properties to send alongside the webhook call using the + ADD PROPERTY button.
          • No spaces are allowed in the property name.
          • We recommend separating words using “_” or camelCase.
    6. Click Continue
    7. Enter the webhook destination details
      1. Enter the Destination Platform Name
        • This is the 3rd party platform where you want the event data sent, for example, Heap Analytics, Mixpanel, or Google Analytics
      2. Enter the Request Type and Destination URL
        • These specify how to perform the webhook call and to where
        • These details can be found in the destination system's API documentation
      3. Select an optional Authentication Type
        • Consult the destination system's API documentation to understand if this is necessary
        • WalkMe supports the following authentication methods:
          • No Auth
          • Bearer Token: Requires a token
          • Basic Auth: Requires a user name and password
          • OAuth 2.0
      4. Enter any optional Headers using the + ADD PROPERTY button
        • These are the values required to perform the webhook call
        • Consult to the destination system's API documentation to understand if this is necessary
    8. Click Save
    9. You will be prompted to perform a settings publish in the Editor

To verify that you've successfully configured the webhook, follow these steps:

  1. Enter your application
  2. Perform the event the webhook is tracking
  3. Check that the destination system you've configured receives the webhook call and executes the desired outcome

Tip: You can manage your destinations in the Destinations page.
