Introduction

Out-Bound webhooks are messengers in the web development world. They let one app send data or trigger actions in another app using HTTP requests. This creates a real-time pipeline for information and event notifications. Whenever something interesting happens in one app (like a new order or a completed task), it can send a webhook to another app or website to keep it in the loop. This is super useful for automating tasks, syncing data between apps, and setting up alerts. Here I am going to show you how you can use out-bound webhooks in Facebook messenger with BotSailor to a 3rd party website. Here I picked Zapier for an easy demonstration.

How you can use Out-bound webhook with Facebook bot with BotSailor and integrate with Zapier

To set up an outbound webhook, follow these steps:

1. Go to the BotSailor dashboard and click on bot manager under the Facebook section.

2. Select your bot, and navigate to the “Bot Reply” and click the `Create` button. 

3. Now create a bot flow which will trigger the webhook. Here I am creating a bot flow which will ask for email. 

4. Now navigate to the `Outbound Webhook` and click the `Create` button.
