Webhooks

In this guide, we will look at how to consume webhooks. With webhooks, your app can know when something happens in Cake Slice, such as File Mover finishing a transfer.

Consuming webhooks

When your app receives a webhook request from Cake Slice, check the type attribute to see what event caused it. The details attribute will contain a summary of the request.

Event types

{
  "type": "file_mover.success",
  "details": {
    "bytes_transferred": 227843
  }
}

{
  "type": "file_mover.failed",
  "details": {
    "error_message": "source URL returned a 404 not found"
  }
}
