Short answer: create a webhook trigger in the automation tool, paste its URL into Account → Webhooks in hivi-x, pick the events, and send a test event.

Zapier

The hivi-x app for Zapier is the simpler route: sign in once, pick triggers from a list, and use actions such as Send Checklist. The steps below use webhooks instead.

  1. Create a Zap. For the trigger, choose Webhooks by Zapier → Catch Hook and copy the webhook URL.
  2. In hivi-x, open Account → Webhooks, paste the URL, tick the events (for example client.created) and choose Add endpoint.
  3. Choose Send test event in hivi-x, then Test trigger in Zapier. Zapier now knows the fields, such as data__client__fullName and data__client__email.
  4. Add the action, for example create a contact in your CRM, and map the fields.

Make

  1. Create a scenario with Webhooks → Custom webhook and copy its address.
  2. Add it in hivi-x under Account → Webhooks with the events you want.
  3. In Make, choose Re-determine data structure, then Send test event in hivi-x.
  4. Continue the scenario with the modules you need.

n8n

  1. Add a Webhook node, method POST, and copy its production URL (it must be public HTTPS).
  2. Add it in hivi-x and send a test event.
  3. To check the signature, add a Code node that recomputes it (see Verify webhook signatures).

Good to know

  • Files never leave hivi-x through webhooks, only their names. Link back to the client in hivi-x for the file itself.
  • The same event can arrive twice. Most automation tools let you skip repeats by the event id.
  • Zapier and Make answer right away, so retries are rare. If the tool is down, hivi-x retries for about two days.
  • The URL itself is a secret: anyone who has it can post to your Zap or scenario. Replace it in hivi-x if it leaks.
  • Don't forward ID numbers to an automation tool: Zapier's terms forbid government ID numbers and bank or card numbers. hivi-x never puts the passport number in extraction.confirmed.
