Submission Webhooks
Webhooks provide a way for different applications or services to communicate with each other in real-time. It's like a notification system that allows one application to send a message to another application when something specific happens. In the case of Smarter Drafter, there are two types of Webhooks:
- Submission Answers Webhook
- Submission Documents Webhook
Overall, Webhooks in Smarter Drafter facilitate the seamless exchange of information, ensuring that submitted answers and generated documents are shared and utilised by other applications efficiently.
Note: Changing Webhook settings is only recommended for advanced users and developers. Please get in touch with our team if you need assistance.
Submission Answers Webhook
The Submission Answers Webhook sends a JSON file that includes all the answers submitted by the end-user when they fill out a form. This allows other applications to receive and process the submitted answers automatically.
To send submission answers to a third party, paste the Webhook URL into the text field.
Press Save at the bottom of the page when you're done making changes.
Note: To use this feature, you must first create or acquire a valid Webhook URL address for establishing a connection. If you are sending your submission data to a Third Party Integration, you can locate your WebHook in your API or Settings Page.
Submission Documents Webhook
The Submission Documents Webhook is used to send generated documents after a user submission. When the necessary documents are generated based on the user's submission, this Webhook sends them to other applications or services for further processing or storage.
To send generated documents to a third party, paste the Webhook URL into the text field.

Document Delivery notification
The Document Delivery email is sent to you or your team member when they create a document. The email contains details of their submission and a link to download their documents.
This notification email is turned off by default as a security measure. All of your submitted documents are safely stored in the Submissions Table

We recommend keeping this setting turned off.
