How to Create ConvertKit Webhooks

Sometimes you need to create an additional tag-initiated webhook for ConvertKit, and there’s no easy way to do that directly inside of the ConvertKit interface.

Setting up your First Webhook

Step 1: Configuration Settings

First, make sure you’ve already set up your first webhook inside AccessAlly > General Setup -> CRM Integration: Make sure your API credentials have been entered, then select the tag you want to use to create a new user and click on Create Webhook.

Step 2: Access Rules inside ConvertKit

Go to your list of ConvertKit Rules, and locate the tag + URL that you configured in step 1.

Click on the rule to see what your webhook URL should be:

You have now created the first webhook that will create user accounts and passwords for your clients.

When BatchSync Webhooks Are Required In Your Automations

If you are running multiple users through an online course simultaneously, we recommend that you use the batchsync webhook, to prevent the integration from timing out or becoming overloaded with multiple individual requests.

This section of the tutorial walks you through each step of the process to create your own tag-initiated batchsync webhook for ConvertKit.

Step 1: Create A New Tag

Inside ConvertKit, create a new tag that will be used to trigger the batch sync webhook. (Example tag name: asa_batch_sync)

Step 2: Enter ConvertKit API in Webhook Creator

Next, get the API info from your ConvertKit Account Settings. Add the API into the Webhook Creator Tool on the AccessAlly site.

Step 3: Create The Webhook

Once your API information is saved, new settings will be revealed. In the “Select the trigger tag” area, you can select the tag you created in Step 1 of this tutorial.

If you are not sure what your webhook URL is yet, follow these instructions to use the webhook generator.

Then, change the aal_genpass portion of the URL to aal_batchsync.

Step 4: Create Webhook

Click on the yellow Create Webhook button.
