Podio WebHooks RequestBin Testing

Question

I want to test Podio Web Hooks (item.update) through RequestBin. I have created WebHook and it shows in my account. When I created i got one request for Verify on RequestBin URL. But in Podio it is showing as Inactive.

Kindly let me know how can I test further.

You have to validate the hook using the code received from the verify call. The hook will become active only after on successful validation.

Refer Podio documentation on how to Validate hook here, Validate Podio hook verification

They also provide a nice [tutorial](https://developers.podio.com/examples/webhooks). – dmulter Nov 01 '18 at 16:18

So the webhook content is pretty bare bones, it just has request parameters for a variable or two in addition to any URL parameters you are passing based on your webhook URI. There is a whole description of what the parameters provided are here: https://developers.podio.com/doc/hookshttps://developers.podio.com/doc/hooks

Basically whatever is catching your webhook will need to be able to connect to the Podio API and fetch the item with the ID passed in the webhook.
