Is it possible to register webhooks in Zoho CRM using API?

Is it possible to register webhooks in Zoho CRM using API?

Hello,

I am trying to register a webhook in Zoho CRM programmatically (using the API). Specifically, I want to register a webhook that is fired when new Contacts are created in the CRM.

I was able to setup a webhook using the UI, by creating a rule that is fired when a Contact is created, and then a webhook that runs when that rule is fired.

However, I want to automate this process for our users, so when they link Zoho CRM via OAuth it automatically registers the rule/webhook for them. Is this possible, or do I need to ask every user to configure it themselves?

In other CRMs like Salesforce, I was able to automatically register ApexTriggers to listen for events and fire webhooks. For HubSpot, I was able to setup webhook subscriptions in the OAuth app. This way users do not have to set this up themselves. Is there anything analogous for Zoho CRM?

Thanks!
