Open Integrations in the sidebar. The invite link adds your bot to a server. Copy it and open it in your browser, pick a server and press Authorize. You need the Manage Server permission in that server.

Inbound webhooks: let other apps start your bot

An inbound webhook is a special web address. When another service (a shop, a form, Zapier, a game server) sends data to it, your bot runs an event. For example: “a new order came in, post it in #orders”.
1

Make a webhook

On the Integrations page, make a new inbound webhook.
2

Pick the protection

  • API key (recommended): the other service must send your key in its Authorization header. Strangers cannot use your address.
  • No authorization: anyone with the address can use it.
3

Copy the address and key

When it is ready you see the POST address and the API key. The key is shown once, so copy it now.
4

Connect the other service

Paste the address (and key) into the other service. The Code tab has ready examples in cURL, JavaScript, Node.js and Python.

The webhook tabs

On the Free plan the number of webhooks is limited. See Plans and limits.
For WhatsApp numbers, the same idea is called Web addresses that start flows, on the Apps and services page. See Apps and services.
