Get Your Webhook URL
Choose your platform
Follow the setup guide for your automation platform to get your webhook URL:
n8n
Cloud or self-hosted. Add a Webhook node and copy the Production URL.
Make
Create a Custom Webhook module and copy the generated URL.
Custom Endpoint
Any server, REST API, or cloud function that accepts HTTP requests.
What is a webhook?
A webhook is an HTTP endpoint that receives data when something happens. Instead of polling for new data, the sender (FlowTrigger) pushes data directly to the receiver (your automation platform) via an HTTP POST request. Every time you fire a trigger in FlowTrigger, it sends your data — text, photos, audio, location, or notifications — straight to the webhook URL you configured.
What is a webhook URL?
A webhook URL is a unique web address generated by your automation platform. It looks like a regular URL and acts as the “mailbox” for incoming data. You copy this URL from your platform and paste it into FlowTrigger.
Each platform generates URLs in a different format:
| Platform | URL format |
|---|---|
| n8n | https://your-instance.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/abc123-def456 |
| Make | https://hook.make.com/abc123def456ghi789 |
| Zapier | https://hooks.zapier.com/hooks/catch/123456/abcdef/ |
| Custom | Any URL that accepts HTTP POST requests |
Quick start: paste the URL and go
Once you have a webhook URL from any platform:
- Open FlowTrigger and tap ”+” to create a manual trigger.
- Paste the webhook URL into the URL field.
- Save and tap Run to test.
- Check the Activity tab — a green 200 status means your platform received the data.
That’s it. FlowTrigger sends data directly to the URL with no intermediary server.
