How to listen for webhooks/trigger an action

Anvil Q&A
#1

What I’m trying to do:

I would like to create an app that primarily functions as a server with no frontend user input. The app needs to constantly listen for events being pushed via a webhook from another system, and if an event is detected, it triggers a separate API workflow. Does anvil support this? If so, how can I go about building this?

Thank you

You would build out the appropriate HTTP APIs in your app that could be called by webhooks: HTTP APIs

Very doable, and you can even add an admin UI to it to give some observability to what’s happened.
