We’re thrilled to announce a major milestone for OpenTiendas:
The Webhooks Infrastructure is now live! 🚀

This means developers can now subscribe to real-time notifications of key events happening in their stores, paving the way for dynamic integrations and seamless workflows.

What are Webhooks?​

Webhooks allow OpenTiendas to notify your applications automatically when certain events occur.
You can now receive instant updates via HTTP POST requests whenever relevant events happen.

This opens up a world of possibilities: syncing data, triggering workflows, sending alerts, and more.

First Webhooks: A test launch​

To kick things off, we’re launching with two initial webhook events for testing:

  • review.create: triggered when a new review is created.
  • review.publish: triggered when a review is published.

These events allow you to build features like:

  • Notifying teams about new reviews.
  • Automatically updating your analytics or moderation systems.
  • Building integrations with other platforms based on review activity.

Why this is important​

This initial launch isn’t just about the two events—it’s about the infrastructure.
We now have a robust webhook system in place, and we’re planning to rapidly expand the list of available events in the near future.

Expect support for orders, products, customers, inventory, and more, all with the same real-time capabilities.

Getting Started​

1️⃣ Set up your webhook endpoint (a URL in your system to receive events).
2️⃣ Register the webhook via the OpenTiendas dashboard.
3️⃣ Listen for the review.create and review.publish events.
4️⃣ Validate webhook signatures to ensure security.

Stay tuned for more updates from the OpenTiendas team. Happy coding! 🎉
