How to subscribe to Fin reply webhooks

Follow these steps to receive webhook notifications for Fin’s responses:

  1. Identify the relevant webhook: Subscribe to conversation.operator.replied to receive notifications when Fin sends a reply in Zendesk.

  2. Enable webhooks in developer tools: In your workspace’s Developer Hub, subscribe to the webhook. Configure it to match your operational requirements (for example, event filters or delivery endpoints).

  3. Build your custom logic: Use the webhook payload to automate actions like updating internal dashboards, alerting teammates, or triggering Zendesk macros.
