Webhooks
Overview
Listen for updates in mints, edits, collection creations, and other async events
Creating NFT collections, minting, and editing NFTs require sending operations to a blockchain. Transaction confirmation on the blockchain can take a few seconds, but during network congestion, it may take several minutes. Webhooks allow you to stay up to date on the status of these asynchronous operations.
Some cases where you may want to listen for transaction confirmations include:
- Notifying your customers via email that their NFT is ready to access
- Updating your database with the NFT ID for the user
- Showing on your website that the mint has been successful
Webhooks are how services notify each other of events. At their core, they are simply POST requests to a pre-determined endpoint. The endpoint can be any URL you choose, and you can add them from the console.
