The Webhook block is often confused with the HTTP Request block.
  • Use the Webhook block when you want Typebot to pause and wait until an external service calls back Typebot.
  • Use the HTTP Request block if you want Typebot to immediately call an API or trigger a N8N scenario, etc. and get a response back.
The Webhook block allows you to pause the conversation until a provided webhook URL is called. This can be useful if you want to execute a long-running action that can take several minutes to complete.

URLs

​
Test

  • Web:
https://typebot.io/api/v1/typebots/{typebotId}/blocks/{blockId}/web/executeTestWebhook
  • WhatsApp:
https://typebot.io/api/v1/typebots/{typebotId}/blocks/{blockId}/whatsapp/{phone}/executeTestWebhook
Where {phone} is your phone number on which you test the bot. For example, if you provided +33 601 020304, {phone} should be 33601020304, no spaces, no +.

​
Production

No matter the environment, the webhook URL will be the same: 
https://typebot.io/api/v1/typebots/{typebotId}/blocks/{blockId}/results/{resultId}/executeWebhook
Where {resultId} is the current user result ID. You can get this ID directly in your typebot flow using a Set variable block with the Result ID value.

​
Authentication

The Webhook URL needs to be authenticated in order to work. See API authentication for more information.
