How Do You Set Up Incoming Webhooks?

Incoming Webhooks are a simple way to pass profiles from various apps into CloudFlo. Creating an Incoming Webhook gives you a unique URL to which you send a payload with the LinkedIn profile URL.

Getting started with Incoming Webhooks

We're going to walk through a really quick 4-step process (if you've already done some of these things it'll be even easier) that will have you posting messages using Incoming Webhooks in a few minutes:

Create a Sequence to work with Incoming Webhook
Create a sequence and select Webhook as the target audience. Save your sequence.

Create a Webhook for incoming data
- Go to Webhooks part on the portal 
- Create a new Webhook and select a sequence for which data should be used.

Use your Incoming Webhook URL to post your data
- After all this build-up, you might think posting a message will be really complicated, but it's very simple. Just make an HTTP POST request like this:

POST https://app.cloudkennect.io/web/hooks/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Content-type: application/json
{
"profile_link": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/exxyyxni"
}

If Debug is needed
When you post data to webhook it may give the following Errors depending on the issue:

If the Profile link is empty - Profile link not found

If the Profile link is in the wrong format - Profile link is invalid

If Profile link is a first-degree connection - Already connected with this profile.

If the Profile link already exists - This LinkedIn profile already exists.

"Key" is wrong (It's always "profile_link") - Invalid Data

Successfully added profile - success

Error found when profile added - error
