Tutorial 1: Setting up webhooks in Fusion Manage

Webhooks allow you to automate the distribution of information related to the creation, updating or cloning of items in Fusion Manage. This automation makes processes related to Fusion Manage more efficient.

In this tutorial, you...

• Set up a simple integration that will fire a callback to Zapier whenever an item is updated in a workspace.
• Set up Zapier to send out an e-mail to users containing the item descriptor of the item.

Prerequisites

• Completed v3 Authentication tutorial.
• Postman app.
• An account with Zapier.
• An account with Autodesk Platform Services.
• An Fusion Manage site in either Preview or Production environment.
• ID of the workspace where events will be created.
• Intermediate experience with Javascript.

Note The v3 Authentication tutorial configures Postman to perform automatic Oauth2 token fetching. Remember that creation of hooks will be under that user account, and that user needs to be active in the Fusion Manage site. All calls performed by Autodesk Platform Services Webhooks against Fusion Manage for fetching permissions will consider that user’s permissions.
