Webhooks

While the Teamhood API supports changing Teamhood items from an external system, there's currently no way to update an external system when a user changes an item in Teamhood. I understand this can partially be accomplished with the Zapier integration. However, the Zapier integration only includes triggers for creating and moving tasks. Also, Zapier is expensive and adds a cumbersome layer between the two systems. It would be much more convenient if Teamhood supported real user-defined webhooks that could call an external system directly.

We should be able to define triggers and actions at the board level. Examples of triggers would be: Row added/deleted/edited, Task added/deleted/edited

• Each trigger could be attached to one or more actions.

• Each action would make an HTTP POST request to the URL specified in the action definition.

• The URL field should support a placeholder like %id% that would automatically be replaced with the item ID.

• The POST request would post the JSON representation of the item to the specified URL. This would be the same JSON format used by the API.

• If the webhook request times out or receives a non-200 response, it would retry the request a certain number of times according to a defined schedule. If the webhook fails after the last attempt, it would notify the admin of the failure and the response status code.

• Although actions would initially be used for webhooks, the system could eventually provide additional internal actions for automating processes within Teamhood.
