Create subscription (v1.0)
Creates a webhook subscription for Business Central. Will be created only if handshake is successful.
Custom APIs
If you're subscribing to a custom API page, both the URL you send the subscription HTTP request to and the resource path you wish to subscribe to must include the <APIPublisher>
, <APIGroup>
, and <APIVersion>
elements equivalent to: api/<APIPublisher>/<APIGroup>/<APIVersion>/subscriptions
. For example, if your API publisher is pub
, your API group is grp
, and the version is 1.0, part of the URL will contain these elements api/pub/grp/v1.0/subscriptions
.
