Updating your systems of record automatically with our Webhooks

The webhooks enable you to monitor changes in your document folders without polling the Foxit eSign platform.

Webhook is a URL handled by your application which will be called by Foxit eSign, based on certain events. As Foxit eSign is calling your application, your application should be publicly accessible on the internet.

You can add your webhook in Foxit eSign API Settings page. Also you can define the events that will cause Foxit eSign to call your webhook. E.g., you can decide whether the webhook should be called when any party signs your folder, or only when the folder is finally executed.

Foxit eSign posts JSON data to your webhook. Every JSON payload posted contains event name (event_name), event date (event_date) and data related to that particular event (data).
