Webhooks allow Friendbuy to notify your system when certain events take place. By setting up Webhooks you can retrieve data on sharing and referrals and take action on that data. Use Friendbuy’s Webhooks to track referrals and update your systems like your CRM, or implement custom business rules like “3 for free.”

Friendbuy provides the following Webhooks. To learn more about the payload for each webhook, please check out our developer docs.

  • Sharing - Friendbuy notifies your system when a person successfully shares.

  • Conversion - Friendbuy notifies your system when a referral conversion is detected.

  • Reward - Friendbuy notifies your system when a reward has been evaluated.

  • Email Capture - Friendbuy notifies your system when a referred friend enters email through Email Capture widget.
