Webhooks Overview
Receive real-time notifications and automate document creation with Crove webhooks.
Webhooks
Crove supports two types of webhooks to integrate with your external systems:
Outgoing webhooks
Outgoing webhooks send HTTP POST requests to your server when events happen in Crove. Use them to:
- Notify your CRM when a document is completed
- Trigger a workflow in your app when a signature is captured
- Sync document data to your database in real-time
- Send a Slack notification when a new response is submitted

Incoming webhooks
Incoming webhooks let external systems send data to Crove to automatically create documents. Use them to:
- Create a document when a new lead is captured in your CRM
- Generate a contract when a deal is closed in your sales tool
- Auto-fill a template when a form is submitted on your website
- Trigger document creation from any system that can make HTTP requests

- Document events (created, updated, completed, deleted)
- Respondent events (invited, viewed, submitted, expired)
- Signature events (requested, signed, declined)
- PDF events (generated, downloaded)
