Setting up the webhooks

After publishing the bird you will receive a callback URL. Copy it, then go to Settings, scroll to the bottom, then Developer API Webhooks -> Configure -> Add new webhook and select the right webhook type. In the URL field input the URL you copied from blackbird earlier. Blackbird is configured to use the default payloads, so if you change something there, pay attention that webhooks may not work as expected. The only thing here is that you may wrap all Wordbee variables in the payload with quotes, so that webhooks become more stable. After all the settings are filled in, click Save new.
