Creating and Managing Webhooks

  • Updated

The MX Client Dashboard makes it easy to set up, test, and manage webhooks. MX provides webhooks that send HTTPS callback requests to the URL of your choice. This enables you to subscribe to events so you are notified when events occur. You can also have information related to that event delivered to you.

Creating a webhook

  1. In Client Dashboard, navigate to the Webhooks page.
  2. If you are setting up a production webhook, in the Production webhooks section, click Add production webhook below the list of webhooks. For development webhooks, click Add development webhook in the Development webhooks section.

  3. Select the type of webhook you want to create.

    Webhook types

    Webhooks available to you will vary depending on whether you are using the Nexus or Platform API. Here are a few webhooks that will always be available:

    • Balance: You will be notified when any new data is available after a successful balance aggregation.
    • History: You will be notified when any new data is available after a successful extended history fetch.
    • Statement: You will be notified when any new data is available after a successful statement fetch.
  4. Click Continue

  6. Click Continue.
