CometChat allows you to configure and manage webhook triggers either through the CometChat Dashboard or by using the Management APIs. This guide walks you through both methods.

    • Webhook ID – A unique identifier.
    • URL – Your server endpoint where event payloads will be sent.
    • Triggers – Enable events you wish to listen to.
    • Security – Enable authentication for enhanced security.
  5. Enable the webhook.
  6. Click Save to apply your configuration.
