Step 3. Set up your output

mParticle supports integrations with over 250 different analytics and data warehousing tools. In this tutorial, we will learn how to forward data from The Higgs Shop via a webhook to webhook.site.

Webhook.site is a simple service that generates temporary URLs for testing HTTP POST requests. Anytime it receives a request, Webhook.site will automatically display the request and payload. We will create a webhook in mParticle that automatically post event data collected from The Higgs Shop to a test URL on Webhook.site in real time.

3.1 Get your POST URL from Webhook.site

1. Open a new browser window or tab and navigate to Webhook.site.
2. Copy the URL displayed under Your unique URL. It will begin with https://webhook.site/ and it will end with a series of letters and numbers separated by dashes.

3.2 Set up the webhook output in mParticle

1. Return to your mParticle dashboard.
2. Click Directory in the left nav bar, then search for “webhook”. Hover your cursor over the webhooks tile and click Setup.

3. In the modal that appears, check the box next to Event, and click Configure.

4. Enter the following configuration settings before clicking Save & Open in Connections.

Now that we’ve created a webhook output in mParticle using the POST URL provided by webhook.site, we will create a connection between our input and output.
