Test Webhook Integration

  4. Continue testing until you get the desired results from Zoho BugTracker to your Application.
Webhooks supports both Bug related Parameters (Bug title, Status, Assignee etc.,) and Custom Parameters.

Known Limitations

  • Only 10 Bug related parameters and 5 Custom parameters are allowed per Webhook.
  • One bug related parameter in user defined format(xml, json..) is allowed.
    • Sample bug related parameter in user defined format: <bug-data><title>${Bug.BugTitle}</title><key>${Bug.BugKey}</key></Bug-data>
  • Webhook is triggered only through a business rule i.e. when a business rule is executed, the associated webhook is called.
  • Only one webhook is associated to a business Rule whereas multiple business rules are mapped to the same webhook.
  • Only 1000 webhook calls are allowed per day.
  • A failed webhook execution is not retried.
  • Webhook is deactivated when the webhook call fails continuously for 10 attempts.
  • No mail notification is sent if the webhooks call threshold is reached for the day or if the webhook is disabled due to continuous failure.
  • Webhook failures are audited and the Webhook Failures page displays only the last 100 failures.
