How to Use Webhooks in Nekst

Push real-time transaction data to any system you use.

Webhooks allow Nekst to automatically send data to another platform the moment something happens — like a new transaction being created, a task being completed, or a status changing.

This guide will walk you through how to set up a webhook in Nekst and start pushing data out to tools like Slack, Google Sheets, FollowUp Boss, Make.com, or a custom system. Each tool you choose to connect to has different ways to manage and implement that data.

Some tools allow you to connect directly with the tool's API. Most will require you to use a service like Zapier (See Webhooks by Zapier) or Make.com, which offers tools that assist with collecting, filtering and redistributing data based on the pre-existing API connections.

Step 1: Get Your Webhook URL

To push data somewhere, you need a URL endpoint to send it to, which comes from the tool receiving the data (Slack, Google, etc).

If you're testing, use Webhook.site to generate a temporary endpoint and view incoming data

If you're connecting to another app, you'll need a URL provided by that platform (like a Make.com webhook URL, or an endpoint from your developer)


SLACK NOTIFICATION EXAMPLE:


1) Click the ( + ) Create New button in Slack and choose "Workflow" to create an automation



2) You will be asked to "Choose an Event", and upon clicking will take you to a list of options for your Automation. Choose "From a webhook" as the type of event from the list.




3) From here, it's a little tricky as you will need to create the different variables from the transaction to use in your future messaging. You can find these (and other variable names) from our API Documentation here.



4) As you add each variable, you'll also get a Web request URL, which is the link that will collect the information being sent by Nekst. Copy this link for the next steps.





5) Slack (or any other tool) will then ask you for direction on what to do with the information collected. Above is an example of a message I am inserting into the "General" channel, using custom variables of information.

🧩 Step 2: Go to the Integrations Settings in Nekst

Log in to Nekst

Click on your profile icon in the upper-right corner

Select Settings > Webhooks on the left hand side

From here, you will see all webhooks which have been created.

➕ Step 3: Create a New Webhook

Click + ADD WEBHOOK to create a new Webhook
Choose from the action within Nekst that you wish to trigger the Webhook


Paste the Link from the other Tool, which you copied earlier, into the Weblink field below


Submit and your Webhook is now live and will trigger when the action is performed!

💡 Pro Tips

Webhooks are one-way – they push data out of Nekst, not into it.

You can set up multiple webhooks for different events and destinations.

Use filters to avoid flooding your system with unnecessary updates.

Try using tools like Pipedream or Make for advanced workflows without writing code.
