A webhook is an HTTP request used to provide push notifications. Cobalt sends webhooks to programmatically inform you about changes to EHR accounts associated with your integrations or the status of asynchronous processes. For example, Cobalt will send a webhook when an appointment is cancelled in an EHR or when Cobalt is finished processing an asynchronous chart note upload.

Best Practices

  • Always use HTTPS for your webhook URL.
  • Keep your webhook secret key secure and rotate it regularly.
  • Respond to the webhook request quickly to acknowledge receipt.
