This article is for Flatfile's Portal 2.0, Portal 3.0, and Workspaces. If you'd like to check out the latest version of the Flatfile Data Exchange Platform, click here!

A webhook is a type of API that allows you to listen for specific events and then trigger responses based on a change in status. Flatfile supports REST Webhooks.

REST Webhooks allow you to listen to events in Flatfile and get notified in real time when data is imported and validated by your customers. We use a single subscription URL for our webhooks, which eliminates unnecessary polling and enables faster real-time communication.

To learn more about REST Webhooks for Portal 3.0, see our Rest Webhooks 3.0 documentation. For information on our Webhooks for Portal 2.0, see our Webhooks documentation.
