Overview

You can register a third party webhook URL (or Task) to trigger when a specific built-in Universal Event is published. 

If your webhook URL requires an authentication method cannot be specified directly within the URL, you would register your webhook to launch an appropriately configured Web Service Task.

If you have a custom integration, you can register your webhook to launch an appropriately configured Universal Task.

To allow for the enforcement of read permission for Universal Events, the registration needs to have a security context. Registrations will support an enable and disable mechanism, as well as an ability to assign an Execution User.

If no Execution User is explicitly assigned, the registration will run under the security context of the user who enabled the registration.

In order for a registration to trigger, the Execution User must have the following authorization.

  • Read permission for the published Universal Event.

  • If a Task is specified instead of a URL, Launch permission for the Task.

  • If a Task is specified instead of a URL, any permissions required by the Task Instance, such as Execute permission for Credentials.
