Incoming Webhooks are a simple way to pass profiles from various apps into Lead Connect. Creating an Incoming Webhook gives you a unique URL to which you send a payload with the LinkedIn profile URL.
Getting started with Incoming Webhooks
We're going to walk through a really quick 4-step process (if you've already done some of these things it'll be even easier) that will have you posting messages using Incoming Webhooks in a few minutes:
- Create Lead Connect Account
Navigate to https://leadconnect.io/signup/ And create your account. Select your plan. If you already have an account login to your account.
2. Create a Sequence to work with Incoming Webhook
Create a sequence and select Webhook as target audience. Save your sequence.
3. Create a webhook for incoming data
- Go to Webhooks part on portal (https://app.leadconnect.io/web/webhook)
- Create a new Webhook and select a sequence for which data should be used.
4. Use your Incoming Webhook URL to post your data
- After all this build up, you might think posting a message will be really complicated, but it's very simple. Just make an HTTP POST request like this:
POST https://app.leadconnect.io/web/webhooks/XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Content-type: application/json
{
"profile_link": "https://www.linkedin.com/in/exxyyxni"
}5. If Debug is needed
When you post data to webhook it may give following Errors depending on the issue:
If Profile link is empty
- Profile link not found
If Profile link is in wrong format
-Profile link is invalid
If Profile link is first degree connection
- Already connected with this profile.
If Profile link already exists
- This LinkedIn profile already exists.
"Key" is wrong (It's always "profile_link")
- Invalid Data
Successfully added profile
- success
Error found when profile added
- error
