Salesforce Webhook Event
Salesforce allows you to create outbound messages, which send information to a third-party platform like Blink Ops. After you set up outbound messaging, when a triggering event occurs, a message is sent to the specified endpoint URL. The message contains the fields specified when you created the outbound message.
Set Salesforce Webhook
Configuring webhooks in Salesforce involves creating new Outbound Messages and setting up a Trigger Flow. For detailed information on outbound messages, refer to Salesforce Documentation.
