What Is a Webhook?
A webhook is a way for TapGoods to automatically send information to another system when a specific event occurs, such as an order status changing.
For example:
When an order moves from "Quote" to "Reservation," TapGoods can immediately notify another system like your CRM, a spreadsheet, or an email service.
Webhooks vs. Open API
TapGoods supports both webhooks and an Open API, each serving a different purpose:
-
Open API – Other systems can request information from TapGoods on demand.
-
Webhook – TapGoods sends information automatically when an event happens.
In short:
- Use the Open API when you want to pull data.
- Use webhooks when you want TapGoods to push updates.
What Events Trigger a Webhook?
Currently, TapGoods webhooks are triggered when an order status changes.

Webhook Test URL: Use this if you want to test your webhook setup before going live. When Live Mode is off, TapGoods will send updates to this Test URL instead.
