Send data automatically with webhooks

Fire a request at your own endpoint when something happens.

A webhook sends a lead's data to another system — your CRM, an internal tool — the moment something happens in LinkedLeads, so the two stay in step without anyone copying anything.

Create one

  1. Go to Settings → Webhooks.
  2. Click New webhook.
  3. Give it a name and the target URL to send data to.
The webhooks settings page with an Add button and one saved webhook showing its name, target URL and pipeline scope.
Settings → Webhooks. The highlighted Add button creates a new one.
A saved webhook named Hubspot CRM showing its endpoint and an Add new pipeline column trigger link.
Once saved, the webhook waits here until you attach it to a column.
A dialog headed Create a webhook with fields for a name and a target URL, a Test Send button, and a toggle to trigger for every column in every pipeline.
Name it after the destination. Test Send is worth using before you wire it to a column.

Fire it from a pipeline column

Link a webhook to one or more pipeline columns and it fires as leads arrive there.

From the webhook list

  1. Settings → Webhooks, find the webhook, click + Add pipeline column trigger.
  2. Choose the pipeline and the column.

The highlighted link on each webhook is what attaches it to a column.
A dialog headed Choose a pipeline column, with a pipeline selector and a column list including Open Profiles, Message Sent and Has Responded.
Pick the pipeline, then the column whose arrivals should fire the webhook.

Triggers accumulate under the webhook. The second highlighted link is how you send the people already sitting in a column.

Repeat to trigger the same webhook from more than one column.

Two triggers on one webhook — the same endpoint fired from two different stages.

From the pipeline

  1. Open the pipeline and click the ⁝ menu on a column.
  2. Choose Add webhook and pick an existing one.
A dialog headed Add a webhook trigger, warning that members already in the column will not be sent automatically.
The same warning appears here: only members who arrive after the trigger is set are sent.

Fire one by hand

From a member's profile there is an action button to trigger a webhook for that person immediately, without waiting for them to move columns. Useful when you have decided something mid-conversation.

Test it before you rely on it

Use webhook.site. It gives you a throwaway URL and logs every request, so you can see exactly what LinkedLeads sends before you point the webhook at anything real.

Worth doing first — it is much easier to read the payload there than to work out afterwards why a CRM record came through half empty.
