Generate a unique webhook on PC trigger -- maybe using Pabbly Hook?

[@SM]

Hi,

I want to create a new webhook endpoint when say a new entry is added to my form.
The is to bind that webhook to form entry.

Flow --> Form submission -> Pabbly Connect creates unique webhook in Pabbly Hook -> Forwards back to a webhook say Pabbly Connect itself to start a workflow.

Possible?

If not, alternatives? Webhook.site? Hookdeck?

Hello @SM,

Could you please elaborate a bit more on your exact use case? Specifically, how you want the unique webhook to be generated and utilized with your form submission, as this will help us understand the requirement better and suggest the right approach or alternatives.

Use Case:

1. I need to generate a unique link per user that will trigger a workflow.
2. My idea: create a unique Pabbly Connect webhook URL (hook) and share it with each user. This way, I don’t need to send additional identifiers (user ID, auth keys, etc.) separately.
3. When a webhook is fired by a user, we can map the user directly to the webhook URL, append the necessary user information, and forward it to the workflow.

Question:
Is it possible to automatically create such unique webhook URLs in Pabbly Connect for each new form entry and bind them back to the user?
If not, what’s the best alternative — e.g., Webhook.site, Hookdeck, or something else?

I’m afraid the use case you are describing is currently not possible. It’s not possible to generate unique webhook URLs in the manner you are describing, and currently, we don’t have any workaround for it.

Every time you create a new workflow with Webhook as trigger in pabbly connect, it gives you unique webhook url. It might looks the same but all webhook urls in pabbly connect are unique.

Exactly Fagun.
This is what i want done via an API call to Pabbly?? - so that i don't have to manually create these webhooks.

I'm thinking of having a user to this unique pabbly webhook URL -- where only one user has access to. Doing this, I can simply lookup the URL in my database and know everything about that user.

Even though the webhooks associated with each workflow are unique, it’s not possible to create these webhooks automatically through automation. That’s why the use case you are describing is currently not possible.
