Webhook Automations: Connect Binx to Any External Service

What Are Webhook Automations?

Webhook automations let external services trigger Binx actions. When something happens in Stripe, GitHub, Typeform, or any webhook-capable service, Binx receives the event and sends you a WhatsApp message — either AI-generated or formatted from a template you define.

This turns Binx into a bridge between your tools and your WhatsApp, so you never miss important events.

How It Works

When you create a webhook automation, Binx generates a unique, secure URL. Point your external service at this URL, and every time it fires, Binx processes the payload and notifies you.

The flow is simple: External event → Webhook URL → Binx processes → WhatsApp message.

Setting Up a Webhook

From the Binx dashboard:

1. Go to Automations and click Create

2. Select Webhook as the trigger type

3. Write a prompt describing how to handle the event, or use a response template

4. Copy the generated webhook URL and secret

5. Paste the URL into your external service's webhook settings

Security

Every webhook automation comes with HMAC-SHA256 signature verification. Binx generates a webhook secret that you share with the external service. When a request arrives, Binx verifies the signature in the x-binx-signature header before processing. Unauthorized requests are rejected with 401.

Response Templates

For predictable webhook payloads, use response templates with Mustache-style interpolation:

• {{body.amount}} — access any field in the webhook body
• {{headers.x-event}} — read request headers
• {{automation.name}} — reference the automation itself
• {{date.now}} — current timestamp

Example template: "New payment of {{body.amount}} from {{body.customer_email}} for {{body.plan_name}}"

AI-Powered Processing

Toggle Use AI to have Binx intelligently summarize webhook payloads instead of using static templates. This is ideal for complex or variable payloads where a template would be too rigid.

Event Filtering

Not every webhook event needs your attention. Use event filters to trigger only on specific conditions:

• Only fire on successful payments, not failed ones
• Only fire on production deploys, not staging
• Only fire when a specific header value matches

Connect your world to WhatsApp. If a service can send a webhook, Binx can turn it into a notification.
