API Callouts automations allow data to be sent to an external system via a webhook that delivers detailed information about what was accessed or changed in Revver. A webhook is just a url that many software applications support in which Revver can automatically pass information to based on what actions trigger it inside of Revver.

This information is passed via a JSON object that contains detailed information about the drawer, folder, or file that was triggered.

This information can then be used by other software applications to perform needed actions and or be used for reporting purposes outside of Revver. These triggers and actions happen in real time so your application or report can have up to date information.


Access/Permissions Requirements

Full license with user permission for Automation on Work features.


API Callouts automations

1. Locate Drawer / Folder / File to add automation to

2. Navigate to the Automation Icon in the right hand pane

3. Select “API Callouts” from Action dropdown menu

4. Copy your applications softwares webhook URL. Here we are using a free webhook site you can use for testing here.

5. Place the url into the “URL” field in your automation and select a “when” event(s) that will trigger data to be sent to the webhook.

  • This is the URL in which Revver will automatically send information about the when action(s) you have selected

6. You can test if the connection is working by clicking “Test request” which will show “Success” once completed.

7. In your external software application that was linked with the webhook you should now be able to identify data coming over. In our example you can see data has come over and is represented in a JSON object.
