Introduction: In the world of data automation, the ability to seamlessly push and transfer data to various endpoints is a crucial skill. One common method for achieving this is through the use of webhooks. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of using webhooks to send your exported data to external sources efficiently.

Setting Up Your Data Automation: To begin, navigate to your scraping automation tool of choice. In this example, we'll be using the "Scrape Seniorly" automation. Once inside your automation tool, locate the option to send data to a webhook. This is where you'll input the webhook URL to which you want to send your data.

Configuring the Webhook: In the case of our demonstration, we're sending the data to the Pavley Task Magic Trigger, a custom trigger specifically set up for this purpose. After copying the webhook URL provided by your automation tool, paste it into the designated field within the Task Magic app.

Setting Up Headers and Payload: While certain webhooks may require specific headers, for Pavley, we don't need to include any additional headers. However, when setting up your payload – the data you want to send through the webhook – you can specify the content you wish to transmit. In this example, we're sending the "name" data column from a specific step within our automation.

Additional Configuration and Saving: You can further define the data you're sending by selecting other relevant columns, such as URL and address, and associating them with corresponding steps in your automation. Once you've configured your payload to your satisfaction, save the settings to finalize the webhook setup.

Executing the Data Transfer: With your webhook configured, running your data automation will now automatically trigger the sending of your specified data to the designated webhook endpoint. By clicking 'play steps,' all the information will be seamlessly transmitted to the webhook, streamlining your data transfer process.

Conclusion: Mastering the art of pushing data to webhooks is a valuable skill in the realm of data automation. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can efficiently send your exported data to any desired endpoint, simplifying your data management workflows.

Step 1- Click on Scrape Seniorly

Step 2- Click on Send to Webhook

Step 3- Select Taskmagic

Step 4- Click on Copy to copy the Webhook link

Step 5- Paste the link and click on Save

Step 6- Enter name and other elements with steps — Click on Save

Okay. So we had a question about using a, uh, using send to webhook to send your exported data somewhere else. So what we can do is we can click into any of our scraping automations that we have. So I'll click scrape seniorly here, since this is one that I have set up. Then from here, I can click send to webhook, which is where I'll fill out the webhook that I want to send the data to.

So for my flow here, I am going to be sending this to the Pavley task magic trigger, which is a custom trigger Pavley had set up. Um, inside here, we're going to go ahead and say scrape data from automation. And then this gives us a webhook URL that we can use. So I'll go ahead and click copy. Then I'm going to come back into the task magic app.

I'm going to paste that webhook there. And then we don't need any headers for Pavley specifically. Um, they're not telling us to send in anywhere in here and any website that is expecting you to, uh, should make it pretty clear what you should enter there. If you have something to enter, you'll just click add headers and you'll enter a key value pair here.

We can also set up our payload. Which is, uh, that is deciding which data you want to send to that webhook. So I'll click the plus here, and then I'm gonna send, um, name, cause that's what this scrape column that I'm gonna send is called. Then I'm gonna select this dropdown, and I'll select step four, which is the scrape list step that I want to send as the name column.

Then I also have a couple other properties. I have URL and I have address. I'll go ahead and select step five and step six, since those are the corresponding steps. And then I can click save. When we have that done, our webhook is set up. And when we click play steps, all of the data will be sent to that webhook at the end of our automation.
