Using Skipper for implementing webhooks #2920
Comments
Can you draw a picture to clarify communication paths and steps? |
Hi @szuecs I somehow missed your messages, sorry for that. My application (sends a request to Skipper to create a webhook for a CRM application) -------> Skipper (receives this request and the Webhook functionality built into Skipper further creates the webhook on my application behalf and sends it to the target CRM application) ---------> CRM application (processes the request and sends the result back to Skipper) So I want to use Skipper's Webhook functionality (without writing my own) as an intermediate between my application and the other apps. I don't know whether Skipper exposes API for the same. |
I am not sure if you and I have the same meaning for the term "webhook". For me your description could achieved by pure routing instead of a webhook. For example
Interesting would be what the webhook would do and what should skipper do with the response from the webhook. There's an example webhook() filter that allows the webhook target to enforce authnz for the http request:

Can we use Skipper to connect our application with other applications using Webhook protocol?
My 'triggering' application serializes data and send it to a webhook URL to another 'processing' application let's say CRM. The CRM application can then send a message (with an HTTP status code like 302) to let the triggering application know if the data was received successfully or 404 if not followed by the response.
Skipper must be queuing the HTTP requests (including the webhook requests) somewhere.. in a store like Redis or etcd or some other?
Could you please elaborate this in little detail?
Thanks
