How to obtain a webhook URL for using the Mergado Notifications (Rocket.chat) application

Have you turned on the Mergado Notification app and are wondering how to get the webhook URL when creating a new connection? :thinking:

In this guide, we’ll show you how to do it. :light_bulb:

You can create the webhook URL in the Rocket.chat administration.

Please note that you must have admin permissions to access the administration panel.

Proceed as follows:

  1. In your workspace, go to Administration > Workspace > Integrations.
  2. Click New at the top right corner.
  3. Switch to the Incoming tab.
  4. Select the Enabled toggle option under the Settings tab.

Now fill out the form as follows:

  • Name - the name of the webhook - e.g. “Mergado Notifications”
  • Post as - an existing user whose name will be used to send notifications. If you do not yet have such a universal user, set it up here.
  • Post to Channel - the default channel where notifications will be sent - the user specified in Post as must be added to this channel, otherwise it will not work.
  • Alias - the “name” under which notifications will be displayed (if not specified, it will be the name of your universal user, see “Post as”).
  • Avatar URL - you can change the avatar logo, but you don’t have to.
  • Emoji - you can enter any emoji in Rocket there.
  • Check Allow to overwrite destination channel in the body parameters
  • Uncheck Script Enabled

After clicking Save, the following page will appear, where you can copy the created Webhook URL.

:clap: Enter the Webhook address you obtained into the Mergado Notifications application.
