<\/span>What are Webhooks?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Webhooks allow your Modern Events Calendar (MEC) plugin to automatically send booking information to external services or applications when specific booking events occur. Think of webhooks as automatic notifications that trigger actions in other systems without manual intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>How Do Webhooks Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When a booking event happens in MEC (like a new booking, cancellation, or confirmation), webhooks automatically send all the relevant booking data to a URL you specify. This allows you to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Integrate with third-party services (like CRM systems, email marketing tools, or project management apps)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Automate workflows in other applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Sync booking data across different platforms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Receive real-time updates about booking status changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          <\/span>When Are Webhooks Triggered?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          You can set up webhooks to be triggered by any of the following booking events:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/span>1. Booking Added<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Triggered when a new booking is created, regardless of payment status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/span>2. Booking Confirmed<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Triggered when a booking is confirmed (typically after successful payment).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/span>3. Booking Verified<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Triggered when a booking is manually verified by an administrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/span>4. Booking Rejected<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Triggered when a booking is rejected or declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/span>5. Booking Canceled<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Triggered when a booking is canceled by the customer or administrator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/span>6. Booking Refunded<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Triggered when a booking payment is refunded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/span>What Information is Sent?<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          When a webhook is triggered, it sends comprehensive booking information including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
