Webhooks - Zoho SalesIQ

Webhooks

What are Webhooks?

Webhooks operate on the concept of “event reaction” and thus avoids the need for constant polling of the server-side application by the client-side application. Therefore, rather than the client-side application constantly polling the server-side application to check for new events, the server-side application calls the client-side application (by invoking a client provided webhook URL) anytime the server-side has something new to report to the client. This is the core concept of the webhook. 

Benefits:

  1. With webhooks, you can get push notifications when certain events happen on the server. You do not need to poll the API anymore to observe if these events have occurred. You can just ‘subscribe’ to an event with webhooks. 
  2. Webhooks are powerful resources that you can use to automate your use cases and improve your productivity. Unlike the API resources, which represent static data that you can create, update and retrieve as needed, webhooks represent dynamic resources. You can configure them to automatically notify you when a customer has taken a particular action, such as initiating or replying to a conversation.

Creating and Managing Webhooks

You can create and manage the webhooks with the REST API available  here . 

Trusted source validation (via signature):

What is a public key and how to generate it via API?
SalesIQ signs every webhook event passed on to the endpoint URL using RSA Cryptosystem.
  1. We use SHA256 with RSA as the signature algorithm.
  2. The signature is Base64 encoded
  3. The charset used is UTF-8
The generated Public key can be copied and saved in the endpoint server, which can later be used to check the authenticity of the data received with the signature attached. We will generate a public and a private key pair.
To  generate the public key  use the following API:
  1. API: /api/v2/{screenname}/webhooks/{id}/keys
  2. METHOD : POST
  3. Scope: SalesIQ.webhooks.CREATE
To  delete the public key  use the following API:
  1. API: /api/v2/{screenname}/webhooks/{id}/keys/{keyid}
  2. METHOD : DELETE
  3. Scope: SalesIQ.webhooks.DELETE 
The trusted source validation is to secure the Webhooks, i.e., for you (integration services) to verify the data sent is from SalesIQ services by getting the public key in the API response and validating the signature available in the x-siqsignature request headers for that data. If the signature is valid, then the source can be trusted. This process is to secure the Webhooks from unauthorized access.

To validate the source with the help of signature header:
  1. HEADERS : 
  2. {
  3. x-siqsignature : $signature 
  4. }
If you wish to set up a secure callback, then create the webhook and set the secure as true ("secured:true".)
  1. Payload: 
  2. {
  3. webhook : {
  4. url : $webhookurl,
  5. secured : <boolean>},
  6. published : <boolean>
  7. } 
Note:
  1. Maximum Admin webhooks allowed per portal is 3
  2. Maximum auto retry count for a webhook is 3
  3. Auto retry occur after a minute
  4. Timeout per execution is 5 seconds
  5. Default error log retention period is 60 days
  6. Webhooks are available only in the Enterprise plan

Webhook Payload

The webhook is invoked when the event you've subscribed occur in SalesIQ. For example, if you have subscribed for conversation.visitor.replied then when a visitor replies to the chat then you'll be notified with some data. 

Payload definition:

  1. version - The version of the webhook payload.
  2. event - The event notified.
  3. event_time - The time at which the event happened
  4. org_id - Your SalesIQ portal ID
  5. app_id - Your embed ID, available only for data events
  6. attempt - The number of attempts made to notify an event through webhook
  7. entity - The entity of the event occurred
  8. entity_type - The type of the entity (ex: Bot, department, operator)
  9. entity_id - Unique id of the entity. For ex, conversation id in case of conversation.* events
  10. modified_fields - List of properties modified
The payload should be received in the below format.
  1. {
  2. "version" : "1",
  3. "event" : "operator.created",
  4. "event_time" : $time of event,
  5. "org_id" : $soid,
  6. "app_id" : $appid,
  7. "attempt" : $count of retry,
  8. "entity_type" : $type of entity,
  9. "entity_id" : $ID,
  10. "entity" : {
  11. $ENTITY OBJECT
  12. },
  13. "modified_fields" : [ ]
  14. }
Example:
  1. {
  2. "entity_type":"conversation",
  3.  "org_id":"14327896",
  4.  "event":"conversation.operator.replied",
  5.  "entity_id":"8000000004009",
  6.  "attempt":1,
  7.  "version":"1",
  8. "app_id":8000000000047,
  9.  "entity":{
  10.       "id":"8000000004009",
  11.       "message":{
  12.       "sender":{
  13.       "name":"Tricia",
  14.       "id":"8000000000005"
  15. },
  16.  "msgid":"1566480708251",
  17.  "text":"Hello, I need some help with the shipping status"
  18. }
  19. },
  20.  "event_time":1566480708268
  21. }

Webhook Pre-requisites

  1. The "https" URL is recommended for security reasons. 
  2. Our server can not connect with the URL with the port number.
  3. Make sure the URL can be accessed in public API clients such as Postman and Talend API Tester to be accessible in our server.
  4. Once the URL is provided, it will be pinged to get validated with the read time out of 5 seconds. 
  5. If it is not reached within 5 seconds, an HTTP HEAD request gets triggered to the URL to check the status code 200.
  6. Ensure the webhook returns the response within 10 seconds. If not, the bot will not work. 

Cases where webhook will be disabled: 

Case 1: When the webhook returns HTTP code 400 and above which fails to return success acknowledgment continuously, the portal owner and webhook creator will receive a set of warnings via email. 
  1. The first warning mail will be triggered when the webhook fails continuously for 3 hours, and a second warning mail will be triggered when it fails for 6 hours. 
  2. The webhook will be disabled and a final mail will be triggered when the webhook fails for 12 hours continuously. 
Case 2: When the webhook returns HTTP code 410 while posting the registered events. The SalesIQ system will delete the webhook, and both the portal owner and webhook creator will receive an email.  
Note: If the webhook returns success response during this period, it works as usual. However, if it fails again, the above cycle will begin from the first.

Events:

With Webhooks, you can get notified when certain events happen on SalesIQ. If you have subscribed to the following list of events then you will be notified with the data when the respective event occur.
