ETL from Webhook to Google Cloud Storage in a few clicks

In order to receive data in real-time, a traditional API must poll for data constantly. Webhooks, on the other hand, enable applications to provide real-time data to other applications based on triggered events.

When an event occurs in an app – such as registering an account or purchasing an item – a webhook can immediately push this data to other apps via HTTP callbacks. This allows teams, applications, data models, and other parties to react to these events in real-time.

In Rivery, webhooks operate like any other data source. To facilitate webhooks, Rivery provides an endpoint that streams webhooks data. Customers utilize this endpoint by sending HTTP requests to it via the POST method.

While setting up a webhook data source, all Rivery customers need to do is provide example JSON mapping for the data. Auto-mapping will take care of the rest.

Once a webhook data source is activated, Rivery sends webhook events directly to a customer’s cloud data warehouse as they happen. Customers can push events one by one, or transfer records in bulk by sending an array.

The granular detail of webhook events, coupled with the instant accessibility, enables teams and data operations to react in real-time with the best possible data. Customers can also use this granularity to develop more powerful data models.

With Rivery Webhooks, customers can combine events data with other data sources inside a cloud data warehouse to generate unique insights.

Additionally, the feature serves as a comprehensive archive for all events that occur within an app. This is especially important for webhooks that do not permanently store events.

In Rivery, e-commerce customers can configure a Shopify webhook to execute a process after a specific event.

For example, when an order is placed, the webhook can trigger an email send to the buyer featuring product documentation or related items. Receiving automated updates from webhooks allows e-commerce companies to react to, and interact with, buyers in real-time.
