Webhook integration samples

Using webhooks, you can share customer journey data with just about any other service out there: analytics, CRM systems, marketing automation services, and much more. For example, automatically notify external services when a customer has taken a particular action within the journey, send customer data into your analytic tools, and trigger third-party emails, SMS or WhatsApp messages on specific in-journey events – there are numerous use cases, choose yours.
