Quotient Webhooks
What are Webhooks?
Quotient Webhooks allow you to receive a payload of data in JSON format whenever certain events happen in a particular Quotient Account. For example, when a Quote is accepted in Quotient an invoice could be automatically created in your custom-made job system. This could also include things like the selected items, pricing and full contact details.
If you’re not a developer you might like to try Zapier instead.
Supported Events
Customer Asked Question
Triggers when a Customer asks a New Question.
Customer Viewed Quote
Triggers on the initial view. Subsequent triggers occur only if the previous view occurred more than 6 hours ago.
Quote Accepted
Triggers when a Quote is Accepted.
Quote Sent
Triggers when a New Quote is first Sent.
Quote Declined
Triggers when a Quote is Declined.
Setup Webhooks
- Go to Account Settings → Connected Apps → Webhooks (administrators only).
- Add your Webhook URL and hit ‘Save’.
TIP: you can use requestbin.com to test events – it displays the payloads it receives simply on-screen. - Hit ‘Test With Sample Data’ to trigger your desired Event.
- Once you're satisfied that your Webhook is receiving data, you can hit ‘Turn On’ for your desired Event.
Event Log
You can see a log of events triggered in Quotient – found in Account Settings → Connected Apps → Webhooks.
You can replay past events by hitting ‘Replay Event’. Note: It can take a few minutes for replayed events to display in the log (to check, you can hit Refresh Log).
Events in the log will be kept for up to 7 days.
Errors and Retries
If your Webhook URL is unreachable, Quotient will try again in 5, 10 and 15 minutes consecutively. If an event fails after the 3rd attempt, all Webhooks will be ‘Paused’ and you’ll be notified on your Quotient Dashboard to fix.
