Create browser automation that is triggered by a webhook?

[DDCUIVF]

Hi! I’d like to start a browser automation task via a webhook (from a different service called TradingView that can send webhooks as alerts).

Is this a viable way to trigger a browser automation with UI Vision?

Thanks!

This is possible. A webhook request is just a regular POST HTTP request in JSON format. So to receive webhooks, you just need to write the code listening to POST requests made to the URL of your website/API.

You just need to create a very basic api that receives the webhook. And then your code launches the RPA software via its command line API.

Are you familiar with a programming language?

could you please elaborate a bit more in your reply? I am trying to do this same thing right now but I am a bit lost.

Thanks!

I would like to know more about this, do you have any resources that I can look at that may help me figure out how to write a code that does this?

Which tool you recommend for this?
Can it be done by VBA?
