<p>You can use the <strong>Webhook</strong> component to start a flow run in response to an external event.</p>
<p>With the <strong>Webhook</strong> component, a flow can receive data directly from external sources. Then, the flow can parse the data and pass it to other components in the flow to initiate other actions, such as calling APIs, writing to databases, and chatting with LLMs.
If the input isn&#x27;t valid JSON, the <strong>Webhook</strong> component wraps it in a <code>payload</code> object so that it can be accepted as input to trigger the flow.</p>
<p>The <strong>Webhook</strong> component provides a versatile entrypoint that can make your flows more event-driven and integrated with your entire stack of applications and services.
For example:</p>
<ul>
<li class="">Use an LLM to analyze the sentiment and content of customer feedback or survey responses.</li>
<li class="">Receive notifications from a monitoring system, and then trigger automated responses based on alert type and severity.</li>
<li class="">Integrate with e-commerce platforms to process orders and update inventory.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="anchor anchorTargetHideOnScrollNavbar_vjPI" id="configure-the-webhook-component">Configure the Webhook component<a href="#configure-the-webhook-component" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Configure the Webhook component" title="Direct link to Configure the Webhook component" translate="no"></a></h2>
<p>To use the <strong>Webhook</strong> component in a flow, do the following:</p>
<ol>
<li class="">
<p>In Langflow, open the flow where you want to use the <strong>Webhook</strong> component.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Add a <a class="" href="/webhook"><strong>Webhook</strong> component</a> and a <a class="" href="/parser"><strong>Parser</strong> component</a> to your flow.</p>
<p>These two components are commonly paired together because the <strong>Parser</strong> component extracts relevant data from the raw payload received by the <strong>Webhook</strong> component.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Connect the <strong>Webhook</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Data</strong> output to the <strong>Parser</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Data</strong> input.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>In the <strong>Parser</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Template</strong> field, enter a template to parse the raw payload into structured text.</p>
<p>In the template, use variables for payload keys in the same way you would define variables in a <a class="" href="/components-prompts"><strong>Prompt Template</strong> component</a>.</p>
<p>For example, assume that you expect your <strong>Webhook</strong> component to receive the following JSON data:</p>
<div class="ch-codeblock not-prose" data-ch-theme="github-dark"><div class="ch-code-wrapper ch-code" data-ch-measured="false"><code class="ch-code-scroll-parent"><br><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span>{</span></div></div><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span> &quot;id&quot;: &quot;&quot;,</span></div></div><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span> &quot;name&quot;: &quot;&quot;,</span></div></div><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span> &quot;email&quot;: &quot;&quot;</span></div></div><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span>}</span></div></div><br></code></div></div>
<p>Then, you can <a class="" href="/components-prompts#define-variables-in-prompts">use curly braces</a> to reference the JSON keys anywhere in your parser template:</p>
<div class="ch-codeblock not-prose" data-ch-theme="github-dark"><div class="ch-code-wrapper ch-code" data-ch-measured="false"><code class="ch-code-scroll-parent"><br><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span>ID: {id} - Name: {name} - Email: {email}</span></div></div><br></code></div></div>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Connect the <strong>Parser</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Parsed Text</strong> output to the next logical component in your flow, such as a <strong>Chat Input</strong> component.</p>
<p>If you want to test only the <strong>Webhook</strong> and <strong>Parser</strong> components, you can connect the <strong>Parsed Text</strong> output directly to a <strong>Chat Output</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Text</strong> input. Then, you can see the parsed data in the <strong>Playground</strong> after you run the flow.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>From the <strong>Webhook</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Endpoint</strong> field, copy the API endpoint that you will use to send data to the <strong>Webhook</strong> component and trigger the flow.</p>
<p>Alternatively, to get a complete <code>POST /v1/webhook/$FLOW_ID</code> code snippet, open the flow&#x27;s <a class="" href="/concepts-publish#api-access"><strong>API access</strong> pane</a>, and then click the <strong>Webhook curl</strong> tab.
You can also modify the default curl command in the <strong>Webhook</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>curl</strong> field.
If this field isn&#x27;t visible by default, click the <strong>Webhook</strong> component, and then click <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-sliders-horizontal" aria-hidden="true"><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="4" y2="4"></line><line x1="10" x2="3" y1="4" y2="4"></line><line x1="21" x2="12" y1="12" y2="12"></line><line x1="8" x2="3" y1="12" y2="12"></line><line x1="21" x2="16" y1="20" y2="20"></line><line x1="12" x2="3" y1="20" y2="20"></line><line x1="14" x2="14" y1="2" y2="6"></line><line x1="8" x2="8" y1="10" y2="14"></line><line x1="16" x2="16" y1="18" y2="22"></line></svg> <strong>Controls</strong> in the <a class="" href="/concepts-components#component-menus">component&#x27;s header menu</a>.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Send a POST request with <code>data</code> to the flow&#x27;s <code>webhook</code> endpoint to trigger the flow.</p>
<p>The following example sends a payload containing <code>id</code>, <code>name</code>, and <code>email</code> strings:</p>
<div class="ch-codeblock not-prose" data-ch-theme="github-dark"><div class="ch-code-wrapper ch-code" data-ch-measured="false"><code class="ch-code-scroll-parent"><br><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span>curl -X POST &quot;http://localhost:7860/api/v1/webhook/FLOW_ID&quot; \</span></div></div><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span> -H &quot;Content-Type: application/json&quot; \</span></div></div><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span> -H &quot;x-api-key: LANGFLOW_API_KEY&quot; \</span></div></div><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span> -d &#x27;{&quot;id&quot;: &quot;12345&quot;, &quot;name&quot;: &quot;alex&quot;, &quot;email&quot;: &quot;alex@email.com&quot;}&#x27;</span></div></div><br></code></div></div>
<p>A successful response indicates that Langflow started the flow.
The response doesn&#x27;t include the output for the entire flow, only an indication that the flow started.</p>
<div class="ch-codeblock not-prose" data-ch-theme="github-dark"><div class="ch-code-wrapper ch-code" data-ch-measured="false"><code class="ch-code-scroll-parent"><br><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span>{</span></div></div><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span> &quot;message&quot;: &quot;Task started in the background&quot;,</span></div></div><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span> &quot;status&quot;: &quot;in progress&quot;</span></div></div><div><span class="ch-code-line-number">_<!-- -->10</span><div style="display:inline-block;margin-left:16px"><span>}</span></div></div><br></code></div></div>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>To view the flow&#x27;s most recent parsed payload, click the <strong>Parser</strong> component, and then click <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-text-search" aria-hidden="true"><path d="M21 6H3"></path><path d="M10 12H3"></path><path d="M10 18H3"></path><circle cx="17" cy="15" r="3"></circle><path d="m21 19-1.9-1.9"></path></svg> <strong>Inspect output</strong>.
For the preceding example, the parsed payload would be a string like <code>ID: 12345 - Name: alex - Email: alex@email.com</code>.</p>

<p>Typically, you won&#x27;t manually trigger the <strong>Webhook</strong> component.
To learn about triggering flows with payloads from external applications, see the video tutorial <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC1CAtzFRE0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="">How to Use Webhooks in Langflow</a>.</p>

<p>By default, webhooks run as the flow owner without authentication (<code>LANGFLOW_WEBHOOK_AUTH_ENABLE=False</code>).</p>
<p>To require API key authentication for webhooks, in your Langflow <code>.env</code> file, set <code>LANGFLOW_WEBHOOK_AUTH_ENABLE=True</code>.</p>
<p>When webhook authentication is enabled, you must provide a Langflow API key with each webhook request.</p>
<p>To include the API key with a request as an HTTP header:</p>

<p>To troubleshoot a flow with a <strong>Webhook</strong> component and verify that the component is receiving data, you can create a small flow that outputs only the parsed payload:</p>
<ol>
<li class="">
<p>Create a flow with <strong>Webhook</strong>, <strong>Parser</strong>, and <strong>Chat Output</strong> components.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Connect the <strong>Webhook</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Data</strong> output to the <strong>Parser</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Data</strong> input.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Connect the <strong>Parser</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Parsed Text</strong> output to the <strong>Chat Output</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Text</strong> input.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Edit the <strong>Parser</strong> component to set <strong>Mode</strong> to <strong>Stringify</strong>.</p>
<p>This mode passes the data received by the <strong>Webhook</strong> component as a string that is printed by the <strong>Chat Output</strong> component.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Click <strong>Share</strong>, select <strong>API access</strong>, and then copy the <strong>Webhook curl</strong> code snippet.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Optional: Edit the <code>data</code> in the code snippet if you want to pass a different payload.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Send the POST request to trigger the flow.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Click <strong>Playground</strong> to verify that the <strong>Chat Output</strong> component printed the JSON data from your POST request.</p>
</li>
</ol>

<p>The <strong>Parser</strong> component can fail to build if it doesn&#x27;t receive data from the <strong>Webhook</strong> component or if there is a problem with the incoming data.</p>
<p>If this occurs, try changing the <strong>Parser</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Mode</strong> to <strong>Stringify</strong> so that the component outputs the parsed payload as a single string.
Then, you can examine the string output and troubleshoot your parsing template, or work with the parsed data in string form.</p>
