An example on how you can add Webhook to your CleverTap Journeys
Step 1: Click on the Webhook block to open its settings. Choose the Webhook you just created under the ‘Select Webhook’ dropdown. Click on Done.
Step 2: Click on Go to Editor Then copy the following code snippet into the Webhook payload and choose the format as JSON:
{ "email":"john@example.com",
"clevertap_id":"eqODiQ3D0Xldl_YgmdfWcZjAvgJhjI90RJgY",
"data":{ "firstName":"John" }
}
Note: A user on CleverTap is identified by his identity. This identity can be an email, phone number or any other unique string. A help doc on the same can be found here . You can pass any identity of your choice(email, phone number, etc.,) in the clevertap_id tag. When you create a profile using an identity and an email, the identity parameter gets saved under the CleverTap identity in your profile dashboard. If no identity is provided in a profile, the email becomes the default identity.
Step 3: The argument to “email” points to recipient emails and “data” points to the personalization parameters. Replace the email argument ‘john@example.com’ with ‘@’ and select the email field from your contact list.
Step 4: Also replace the parameter ‘John’ with ‘@’ and select the appropriate field matching the parameter ‘firstName’.
Step 5: You can add more parameters depending on the campaign, by adding a few extra lines of code in the “data” section. Click on Done.
Make sure that the key of the parameter is exactly the same as the key written in the email campaign.
Step 6: Save and Close the Webhook. Now this Webhook trigger is part of your journey and can trigger emails from Mailmodo.
