Article Introduction

Webhooks allow One Click Contractor to send data to external systems when specific events occur. Understanding their capabilities and limitations helps determine when webhooks are the right solution.

What Webhooks Can Do

Webhooks can send data from One Click Contractor to another system when events occur.

Examples include:

When a job is created
When a job is updated
When a job is assigned
When a job status changes
When a document or image is created
When an estimate is created or updated
When a signed document is completed

These events can be used to trigger actions in external systems.

Examples of Use Cases

Webhooks can be used to automate actions such as:

Sending a message when a job reaches a specific status
Creating records in another system when documents are completed
Uploading job documents or images to a third-party system
Triggering workflows in external platforms

What Webhooks Cannot Do

Webhooks cannot:

Create records in One Click Contractor
