Configure Send Data Webhook

Using Enboarder’s Send Data webhook module, we can send data into an existing spreadsheet by configuring this module and adding it to a workflow sequence. The example shown below will take you through how to configure the webhook to send data directly from our Employee Week 1 Check-In form to a Google Spreadsheet:


Please refer to the Google API document for further guidance. Also, before configuring the Webhook, a Google Sheet will need to be created in a desired location on Google Drive:
​

The following headings have been set up in Row 1:

  • Employee Name

  • Manager Name

  • Onboarding exp to date

  • Prepared

  • Manager Contact

  • Manager Prepared

  • Welcome

  • Resources

  • Onboarding Improvement

  • 1 Week eNPS

  • Feedback

Note that these column headings are customizable and can be re-named to match the data you are receiving from Enboarder.

This particular will gather the Employee Name, Manager Name, and All form responses within the Week 1 Check-in form, but the column headings and webhook payload can be customized to pull in alternative data.

  • URL - https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets/{SheetID}/values/{SheetName}!{SheetRange}:append?includeValuesInResponse=false&insertDataOption=INSERT_ROWS&responseDateTimeRenderOption=FORMATTED_STRING&responseValueRenderOption=FORMATTED_VALUE&valueInputOption=RAW

The {SheetID} Can be found within the URL of the Google Sheet created above, for example:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U0bQsSbQON0GLjuKVv-U2su7s_5utR3dzBXtciwYams/edit#gid=0

Every Google Sheet will have its own unique Sheet ID. You are able to build as many Google Sheet templates as desired, and as many webhooks as you’d like too! As long as the corresponding Sheet ID is included in the webhook URL, you will be able to populate any authorized Google Sheet.


​The {SheetName} is the name of the sheet you have defined. In the below example, the {SheetName} is Example:

The {SheetRange} is the range that your columns stretch. In the below example, the {SheetRange} is A:K

  • Authentication - Please select the tile which you have added in the previous step.

  • Method - POST

  • Payload - Please add payload as below sample


    Sample Payload


    ​

The “range” should reflect the size of your sheet. In our example columns A to K are populated, therefore our range is “Sheet1!A:K”


​Depending on your use case, this may vary. It is important to note that the range in the webhook body must match the range provided in the webhook URL. If you are sending in more data, this could be Sheet1!A:Z or even Sheet3!A:C. This will need to be updated both in the Webhook URL and in the payload (“range”).


Example

Once successful, the webhook will update a new row on the provided spreadsheet with information from an Enboarder Form, each time data is filled out.
