Use webhooks to build responsive and resilient applications on Codat data
This page describes the functionality of our legacy webhook offering. Learn more about our new webhook service and see how you can migrate to use it instead.

Rules and payloads
In line with industry standard security practices, we have removed personally identifiable information, such as companyName, from the body of our webhooks. This leaves only referential information, such as companyId, which can be looked up using our API.
