Overview

Rivery Webhooks provide a seamless way to connect HTTP endpoints on the web to your cloud data warehouse. With Webhooks, you can stream real-time events or notifications and record them in a cloud-based Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) or Storage type. This guide outlines the steps to enable and configure Webhooks to work with your chosen HTTP endpoint.

Webhook Data - Source to Target

Step 1: Select "Create River"

Select "Create River" from the menu and then click "Source to Target River".

Step 4: Select Target Data Warehouse

Choose your desired data warehouse destination.
Configure the settings for your destination, including connection, database, schema, and table name.
Please Note:
Rivery will create the table if it does not exist.

Step 5: Define JSON Example

Return to the "Source" tab.
In the "JSON example" field, paste a sample JSON response representing the data structure sent to the webhook endpoint.
If unavailable, obtain a sample using a dummy webhook endpoint or manually map columns in the next step.

Step 6: Column Mapping

Go to the "Columns Mapping" tab.
If a JSON example was provided in Step 5, click the button to generate destination column mapping automatically. If not, manually create destination columns.
Please Note:
Nested JSON columns require manual mapping, even with an example JSON provided. Nested column auto-mapping is planned for a future release.

Step 7: Toggle Columns Confirmation

Once columns are mapped, toggle to true. If configured correctly, you will be provided with your unique Webhook Rivery endpoint. Copy the endpoint and confirm with "Got it."

Step 8: Integrate with Web Service

Navigate to your web service and paste the Rivery endpoint into the "Payload URL" or the related option, establishing the link between your web service and the Rivery console.

Limitation

The capability to receive and handle events through a Webhook is constrained to 10,000 events within a 5-minute duration per IP address.
