Setting up triggers
Triggers enable you to invoke Fiberplane Templates and create notebooks via a Webhook call. This can be used to automatically create notebooks from alerts, deploy notifications, or connect it to your customer support tools.
Creating a trigger
To create a trigger you will need the ID of the template you want the trigger be pointing to (you can find that using fp templates list
command).
Then:
fp triggers create --template-id <TEMPLATE_ID>
The command will return the trigger URL used to invoke it that will look something like this (save this URL!):
https://fiberplane.com/api/triggers/:id/:secret_key
Invoking a trigger
You can now add the trigger URL to anything that is capable of sending HTTP POST requests (e.g.: Zapier Webhooks). The POST request should include in the payload JSON object the data that the template is expected to receive.
Let’s take our earlier example template:
function( incidentName) fp.notebook .new("Incident Response for: " + incidentName) .addCells([ c.text("Hello World!"), ])
After having created a trigger URL for this template we can send a simple POST request with a JSON body:
curl -X POST https://studio.fiberplane.com/api/triggers/your_id/your_secret_key \ -H "Content-type: application/json" \ -d '{"incidentName": "API Outage"}'
And a new notebook with a title “API Outage” will be created!
