Insight Webhooks
Insight now supports webhooks so you can build pipelines and receive notifications when specific blockchain events or transactions occur!
What does this mean?
With the introduction of webhook support in Insight, you can now seamlessly integrate blockchain data into your applications or workflows. Webhooks allow you to automatically receive near real-time notifications whenever specific blockchain events or transactions occur, eliminating the need for constant polling of the blockchain.
What can I do with it?
- Automate Workflows: Trigger actions in your applications or services when a specific blockchain event happens (e.g., a token transfer, contract interaction, or wallet activity).
- Monitor Blockchain Events: Stay updated on relevant events without manually querying the blockchain.
- Build Custom Pipelines: Use webhooks to feed blockchain data into analytics tools, databases, or other systems for further processing.
- Filter Specific Data: Configure webhooks to only receive notifications for events or transactions that meet your specific criteria, such as a particular contract address or event type.
Can I receive decoded events and transactions?
Yes! Insight webhooks provide decoded data for events and transactions. This means you’ll receive human-readable payloads that include all relevant details, such as parameters and values associated with the event or transaction. This makes it easier to process and use the data directly in your applications without additional decoding steps.
To enable this, you have to define specific event signatures / function signatures and partial ABIs in the webhook filter configurations.
