  3. Input the Webhook URL that you would like to send your data to, keeping the following in mind:
    • The URL must be accessible over HTTPS.
    • The URL cannot be served from localhost. We recommend Localtunnel for testing purposes.
  4. Check the box to the left of one or more Webhook Events that you would like to send your data.
  5. Click the Confirm button to save your Webhook.

How Webhook delivery works with SquadCast

If Webhook URLs do not respond with HTTP status code 200 or the request times out, we will retry the request. We will continue to retry the request for a few minutes with an exponential backoff strategy.
