Stage 4: Rently Activities Notification via Webhook

Webhook is a popular integration technology used by companies like Github, Amazon, etc. The information is sent in real-time as it is recorded into our database.

To get started, provide YOUR Rently CLIENT SUCCESS MANAGER with a URL ENDPOINT where you want to receive the web post and RENTLY WILL FACILITATE TESTING AND DEPLOYMENT. The content of the post will be in JSON format. The best way to test the API is actually use Hurl.it or Postman tool so that you can post the following examples to your web end points and debug accordingly. PLEASE BE SURE TO DEBUG BEFORE PROVIDING THE URL TO YOUR RENTLY CSM.

Here is an example webhook post:
