Webhooks

Ebury offers customers the possibility to subscribe to a notification service. In the public documentation, there are detailed descriptions of various events to which customers can subscribe and receive notifications.

It is a powerful feature to build various business flows on. It ensures clients can always stay updated on the current state of their accounts, balances, outgoing payments status amongst others things without having to constantly check in.

From a technical perspective, using webhooks is beneficial to both Ebury and the client:

• For the client, this helps the developers with building a lighter application, also meaning easier maintenance. There is no need to poll Ebury waiting for a specific event to occur.
• For Ebury, it allows us to focus our resources on processing API requests efficiently. The technical logs are clean and easily readable.

Some examples

• As an SME, I would like to receive a notification on my messenger, every time I receive a credit in my account.
• As a payroll processor, I would like to notify my client via email, every time a new employee on their payroll is screened and ready to receive the salary.
• As an Accountant, I would like a notification within the Accounting platform every time a debit from my bank account is processed, so that I can update the invoice (automatically or manually)
• As an employee of the TMS team at a startup, I would like to be notified every time a trade is processed, so that I can update the books for each of the currencies.
• As a B2B SME, I would like to be notified every time my client’s KYC is completed, so that I can initiate the welcome package to my client.
