Webhooks integration in Thena Create a dedicated private webhook app which sends all the platform events from Thena to the webhook URL you add while creating the app. This is a secure way to ensure your data is sent to the receiving app.

​
What are webhooks?

Webhooks are HTTP callbacks that automatically send data from one application to another when specific events occur. Think of them as “reverse APIs” - instead of your application requesting data from a service, the service automatically sends data to your application when something happens. A webhook app in Thena allows you to receive all platform events in real-time and send them to multiple destinations. This approach gives you complete control over how you receive and process Thena platform events while maintaining the flexibility to send them to multiple destinations.

​
What events are supported?

Thena publishes a comprehensive set of platform events that you can receive through webhooks. These events cover all major platform activities and are organized into logical categories:

​
Key features

Real-time event streaming

​
How to set up webhooks in Thena

Setup requirements: The webhook app creation requires setup through the Thena API. There is no user interface available for configuration at this time. All setup must be completed using API calls.
You need to make 2 API calls for this setup:
  1. Create app - use the curl command with the manifest to create the app
  2. Install app - install the app in the teams whose events you want to receive

​
Step 1: Create app

1

Prepare the curl request

Create a POST request to create your webhook app with the following curl command:
curl --location 'https://apps-studio.thena.ai/apps/create-app' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
--data-raw '{
    "app_visibility": "private",
    "manifest": {
        "app": {
            "name": "Webhooks",
            "description": "Send webhoooks to third party services",
            "category": "webhooks",
            "icons": {
                "small": "https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/carbon-design-system-vol-8/32/webhook-1024.png",
                "large": "https://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/carbon-design-system-vol-8/32/webhook-1024.png"
            },
            "supported_locales": [
                "en-US"
            ],
            "slug":"webhooks"
        },
        "developer": {
            "name": "Your org name",
            "website": "https://yourorg.app",
            "support_email": "support@yourorg.app",
            "privacy_policy_url": "https://yourorg.app/privacy",
            "terms_url": "https://yourorg.app/terms",
            "documentation_url": "https://developers.yourorg.app/docs"
        },
        "integration": {
            "entry_points": {
                "main": "https://yourorg.app/app",
                "configuration": "https://yourorg.app/config"
            },
            "webhooks": {
                "events": "https://your-webhook-url",
                "installations": "https://your-webhook-url"
            },
            "interactivity": {
                "request_url": "https://your-webhook-url",
                "message_menu_option_url": "https://your-webhook-url"
            }
        },
        "configuration": {
            "required_settings": [],
            "optional_settings": []
        },
        "scopes": {
            "required": {
                "platform": [
                    {
                        "scope": "webhooks:read",
                        "reason": "Read webhook data",
                        "description": "Access to read webhook information"
                    }
                ]
            },
            "optional": {
                "platform": []
            }
        },
        "events": {
            "subscribe": [],
            "publish": []
        },
        "activities": [],
        "metadata": {
            "is_privileged_app": false
        }
    }
}'
Customize the manifest with your organization’s information:
  • Add your Thena API key in the x-api-key header
  • Update the developer section with your company details
  • Replace webhook URLs with your actual endpoints inside webhooks and interactivity
  • Modify the app name and description as needed
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual Thena API key. You can find this in your Thena dashboard under Organization → Personal → Security Access or visit https://dashboard.thena.ai/organization/settings/personal/security-access.
App visibility: Ensure this is set to private since it is for internal use.
2

Make the API call

Use the Create a new app API to execute the curl command above.
The API endpoint will validate your manifest and create the webhook app with the specified configuration.
3

Save the app ID

Once the app is created successfully, you will receive an API response containing:
  • appId: This unique identifier for your webhook app (e.g., EGHG8R3K9HGU98JJ81W5EKQRM2X9)
  • clientId and clientSecret: Authentication credentials for the app
Save the appId as you’ll need it for the next step.

​
Step 2: Install app

After creating the app, you need to install it to specify which teams’ events you want to receive.
1

Prepare the installation request

Create a POST request to install the webhook app with the following curl command:
curl --location 'https://apps-studio.thena.ai/apps/install' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY' \
--data '{
  "teamIds": [
    "TAHGVCBHGT",
    "THHGHBNIYF"
  ],
  "appId": "YOUR_APP_ID",
  "appConfiguration": {
    "required_settings": [],
    "optional_settings": []
  }
}'
Customize the installation request with your specific values:
  • Add your Thena API key in the x-api-key header
  • Replace YOUR_APP_ID with the appId you received from Step 1 (e.g., EGHG8R3K9HGU98JJ81W5EKQRM2X9)
  • Update the teamIds array with your actual team IDs
Finding team IDs: You can find your team ID from the URL when you’re in the team dashboard in Thena. For example, if the URL is https://dashboard.thena.ai/dashboard/T123NHFDRF, then the team ID is T123NHFDRF.
Multiple teams: You can install the webhook app to multiple teams at once by including all relevant team IDs in the teamIds array.
2

Make the API call

Use the Install an app API to execute the curl command above.
The API endpoint will handle connecting your webhook app to the specified Thena teams.
3

Verify the installation

After successful installation, you should see the webhook app appear in your app settings. The app will now start sending events from the specified teams to the webhook URL.

​
What can you do with multiple webhook apps?

You can create as many webhook private apps as needed using this approach to send events to multiple destinations:

Zapier, n8n, Make integration

Send events to Zapier, n8n, Make for workflow automation and integration with multiple apps.

Internal monitoring

Route events to your internal monitoring and alerting systems.

Data warehouse

Stream events to data warehouses for analytics and reporting.

Slack notifications

Send filtered events to Slack channels for team notifications.
App isolation: Each webhook app operates independently, so you can have different configurations, webhook URLs, and team assignments for different use cases.

​
How do you process webhook events?

Based on the platform events you receive, you can add filtering on your end and create any workflows:
Event filtering: You can filter these events on your webhook endpoint to process only the events relevant to your use case. Each event includes rich metadata and payload data for comprehensive integration.

​
Filtering examples

// Example webhook handler
app.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {
    const event = req.body;
    
    // Filter for specific event types
    if (event.type === 'ticket:created') {
        // Handle new contact creation
        processNewContact(event.data);
    }
    
    // Filter for specific teams
    if (event.team_id === 'team_123') {
        // Process team-specific events
        handleTeamEvent(event);
    }
    
    // Filter for specific users
    if (event.user_id === 'user_456') {
        // Process user-specific events
        handleUserEvent(event);
    }
    
    res.status(200).send('OK');
});

​
No-code filtering

If you’re using no-code automation tools like Zapier, n8n, or Make, you can filter events using the Message Event Type field instead of writing code. For example:
  • Filter by ticket:created to process only new ticket events
  • Filter by ticket:comment:reaction:added to handle reaction events
  • Filter by account:updated to respond to account changes
  • Use pattern matching like ticket:* to catch all ticket-related events
This approach allows you to create sophisticated workflows without writing custom filtering logic.

​
Workflow examples

Automated notifications

Send Slack messages when high-priority tickets are created or escalated.

Data sync

Update external CRM systems when contacts are modified or created.

Analytics tracking

Track user engagement patterns and generate real-time reports.

Compliance logging

Log all data changes for audit purposes and regulatory compliance.
Getting help: If you encounter issues during setup, check the validation requirements above and ensure all required fields are properly configured in your manifest.
