Webhook Events
Events
Not all events can have webhooks registered, to avoid having useless triggers configured. The following table contains all events for which you can register webhooks:
|
Events |
Description |

|
chats:create |
Any time a new chat is created. |
|
chats:join |
Any time a user joins a chat. |
|
chats:leave |
Any time a user leaves from a chat. |
|
chats:close |
Any time a chat is closed. |
|
chats:assign |
Any time a chat is looking for an agent to attend it. It’s triggered each time an invitation “jumps” from one agent to another. If a valid agent ID is returned in this webhook, the chat is assigned to this agent. The timeout to return a successful response is 5 seconds and it cannot be modified. |
|

Payloads
The Live Chat server will send POST messages to the target URL(s) when a configured event happens. These messages have the following payload structure (with application/json encoding):
- trigger: The event that triggers the webhook request
- appId: This is the API key, the public identifier of the API instance. You can find this value in your instance, in Benti > Settings > HyperChat.
- data: The information on the kind of event that has been received. Each event type has a specific format with the relevant event information. All event data payloads mirror the responses of the API routes.
- created_at: The date and time when the request was sent, in the format of unix timestamp.
{
trigger: {{event_name}},
appId: {{app_id}},
data: {{object}}, // each event has different data
created_at: {{unix_timestamp}}, // the time on which the webhook was fired
}
Note that this events’ data is “skinny”. You should make additional calls to the API to retrieve the latest state if your integration needs more information.
We make the best effort to preserve the order of messages, but some messages might be delivered out of order. We recommend as a best practice to use the 'created_at' parameter to handle the order properly.
