Create subscription

  • Article

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.
