So, if it’s important to you, make sure you are heard by commenting on this blog post. What do you think? Any other events you want to be notified for? We’d love to hear from you & let us know of any other use cases you would like to cover in this feature. Here are some of the potential use cases webhooks can help:
More events will be identified & added as part of the iterative improvement process. Under the hood they are designed to notify any event, qualified for notification. Webhooks are not limited to solving just polling problem. Accountants that support business clients using both QuickBooks and QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions typically have both the Premier Accountant and Enterprise Solutions Accountant programs to manage their respective clients’ data files. The Webhook endpoint can validate this token to ensure the requests are coming from IPP. QuickBooks Premier Accountant 2013 is recommended to fully support clients’ QuickBooks 2013 financial files. With every call back, IPP will use this token to make a POST request over https with Basic Auth. When the Webhook endpoint is registered for the application, IPP will generate an auth token – specifically a Webhook auth token – in the App Center. Security – How does the REST endpoint know that caller is IPP? The application can then call IPP API for QuickBooks to get the details of the changes. The Webhook payload will contain the company ID, entity name and the time the entity changed. Once a Webhook endpoint is registered by an application, IPP will notify the app of data changes in the Cloud. This is where Webhooks can remove the need for developers to add a polling mechanism. Even though the data hasn’t changed, the polling script will still call & the API will return “no data changed” response. Today, the Application Developer writes scripts to periodically poll Intuit Partner Platform(IPP) API for QuickBooks to know whether Data changed or not. How is it going to help you the Application Developer?
This eliminates the need for you to build polling functionalities in your application to the server to check whether a particular event has occurred or not. Webhook is an HTTP POST callback request sent to a URL of the your choice in response to some event occurring. We’d like your feedback on this topic to help evaluate the importance of this type of feature.įor context we provide a brief explanation below discussing the benefits of such a feature. WebhooksĪt Intuit Partner Platform we are currently considering introducing a new feature to provide support for Webhooks. In the past, built highly scalable applications & services for eBay & Nextag. Enjoys developing core platform services for IPP.
