    • Configuring a webhook rule
    Configuring a webhook rule
  • Press Add to add rules to your webhook. Each rule ANDs the various restrictions but any rule can be matched to trigger the webhook. In this way you can have AND and OR clauses on your webhook. In this example we simply trigger on a specific email address in the From field of the email. You can trigger on multiple addresses or use wildcards like * (to match multiple characters) and ? to match any single character.
  • Once done press OK to exit the rule, and OK to exit the hook and then remember to press APPLY once all your rules and hooks are added to send the new configuration to the server
