Overview
You can now tap into Webhook Notifications, a new delivery method that allows users to receive real-time notification events by pushing them to user-defined endpoint URLs.
Now you can generate a notification for vessels or risk & compliance data and push these requests when a notification is triggered. By pushing event notifications into API workflows whenever a subscribed event is triggered you can enable automations for trackable event data without relying on in-platform alerts or emails.
This new feature is available across Kpler data below:
Dry bulk fleet
Liquids fleet
LPG fleet
LNG fleet
Risk & compliance
What’s new?
Webhook notifications add a third delivery channel alongside existing notification methods. Webhooks let you receive automatic updates when something happens in Kpler: a vessel arrives at port, a sanctions flag changes, a terminal waiting time shifts. Instead of polling an API for changes, Kpler sends an HTTP POST request to your server with a JSON payload describing the event.
No changes are required to existing subscriptions.
How It Works
Webhook notifications represent a new channel for you to receive notifications. As such, the data itself is the same as in-app or email notifications, and so the process for generating them can be done in two main ways:
To generate webhook notifications from your account page:
Go to My Account
Click on Notifications settings
Click on Vessels or click on Risk & Compliance
Select Webhook under Channels in the notifications panel
Complete the remaining information to generate your notification.
To generate webhook notifications from the terminal:
From the Map or the Cargo workspace, click on a vessel’s name
In the top right of the vessel panel, click the bell icon to ‘create notification’
You will be prompted to select either a Vessel or Risk & Compliance notification. Choose which notification type is relevant for you.
Under Channels select Webhook
Fill in the remaining information in the notification panel to generate your notification.
