What is a Webhook?
A webhook is like setting up an automatic notification system between two apps (Aptly and Rentvine). When something happens in one app (like someone updating a field), it sends a message to the other app instantly to let it know. It’s a simple way for apps to stay updated and work together without you having to sync manually or wait for the scheduled sync. This is especially helpful when making updates in Rentvine.
What webhooks are available?
You can seamlessly connect Properties, Units, Leases, and Work Orders using webhooks.
How to Enable Webhooks in Rentvine
Webhooks are automatically created for you in Aptly so that you can use them right away. They’re located on any board under Card Sources > Rentvine.
You’ll need Aptly and Rentvine both open in separate tabs to complete this task.
- Navigate to your Locations section and from any Location board click on Card Sources from the left hand menu.
- Select Rentvine and scroll to the bottom of the popup window to find Webhook URLs.
- Copy the applicable URL to save to your clipboard.
- Open your Rentvine tab and navigate to your Rentvine settings.
- Locate Webhooks under Other and click Webhooks.
- Click Actions in the top right and select New Webhook.
- Select an event for the applicable webhook. In this example, we selected Create Properties.
- Paste the applicable Webhook URL in the field.
- Click Add. It will appear in the Event list.
- Repeat for Update using the same URL for the applicable location.
Data will now seamlessly sync immediately when updated for the added locations.
