What are Webhooks?
A way for Line-Up to automatically send real-time updates to an external system whenever something happens on your account (i.e. a new order being placed or a ticket being scanned).
Instead of manually checking for updates, the information is delivered to your chosen destination the moment it occurs.
When you set up Webhooks, you can:
Choose which events trigger a notification (e.g. orders, scans, or all activity)
Send updates to one or more external systems at the same time
Monitor delivery history and success rates from within Line-Up
FAQs
Can I test Webhooks before connecting a live system?
Can I test Webhooks before connecting a live system?
Yes. When adding an endpoint, you'll see a link to Svix Play below the URL field. This lets you receive and inspect sample data without needing a live server. This is the recommended first step when setting up a new endpoint.
Can I send updates to more than one system?
Can I send updates to more than one system?
Yes. While the Webhooks application is set up once, you can create multiple endpoints within it. Each endpoint can be configured to receive different events, so you can send different types of updates to different destinations.
What types of events can I subscribe to?
What types of events can I subscribe to?
Line-Up has an Event Catalog that lists every notification type the platform can send. Events are grouped by category, and you can subscribe to individual events or an entire category. New event types are added as the platform develops.

Can I change my Webhook configuration after it's set up?

How do I know if my Webhooks are working?
How do I know if my Webhooks are working?
The Logs tab shows a record of every delivery attempt, and the Activity tab gives a high-level overview of success rates over time. You can also view message attempts directly on each endpoint.
My deliveries are failing, what should I check?
My deliveries are failing, what should I check?
Common causes include an incorrect endpoint URL, a server that is not publicly accessible, or a firewall blocking inbound requests from Line-Up. Check the message attempts list on your endpoint for details on failed messages.
My events aren't arriving, what's wrong?
My events aren't arriving, what's wrong?
Confirm that your endpoint is subscribed to the correct event types. If you have filtered by event, check the Event Catalog to make sure you have the right selection.
