INTEGRATION

Webhooks

for ID Card Management

Connect the ID123 ID Management System (IDMS) to the tools you already use to take the manual work out of your card management process. Webhooks can notify your external systems of card, scan, print, and moderation events the moment they happen, and let your systems create, update, print, and message cards in the IDMS without manual work.

What is a Webhook?

A webhook is an automatic HTTP request that one system sends to a URL configured by another system. It’s used to pass data or initiate a process in real time, instead of the receiving system repeatedly checking for changes. The IDMS supports two kinds of webhooks:

  • Trigger Webhooks automatically notify your external downstream systems when a specific event occurs in the IDMS, such as a card being installed or a scan result coming back expired.
  • Action Webhooks automatically notify your upstream systems when a configured rule in your external system deliberately invokes it, to tell the IDMS to do something, such as create a card record, print a card, or send a card invitation.

Built to be Simple…

  • One endpoint, many card templates. Configure a single webhook endpoint and route webhook data to either all or specific different card record groups.
  • Flexible routing. Choose which card record groups send events out, and set up multiple IF/THEN rules to sort incoming records into groups, with fallbacks so nothing gets lost.
  • Secure authorization. Provide an API Key or OAuth token, so your system can verify webhook requests coming to and from the IDMS and reject anything else.
  • Custom Data Mapping. Match ID123’s fields to the field names your system uses, so webhook data is sent and received in the format your system already uses.

Potential Automations For Your Team…

Attendance Tracking

Card scans can automatically create an attendance record in your SIS, LMS, or HR system, such as class attendance, shift clock-ins, or event check-ins.

Scan-triggered Workflows

A card scan in ID123’s Barcode Scanner can kick off a workflow in another system, like adding loyalty points, recording a visitor sign-in, or alerting staff when a flagged card is presented.

Onboarding

Create cards for new students, employees, or members in the IDMS as soon as they are added to your SIS, HRIS, or CRM.

Replacement Card Printing

Automatically print physical cards from the IDMS or a connected card printing integration when a card is flagged as lost or stolen, or its details change in another system.back so help desks know when a card ships.

Status and Account Alerts

Alerts or status changes in your SIS, HR, or club management system, such as a “Library hold ready for pickup” can automatically trigger in-app messages to be sent to the cardholder via the Digital ID Card App.

Keeping ID Photos in Sync

When a submitted card photo is approved as part of ID123’s card moderation process, the cardholder’s record in your SIS can be updated with the new photo.

How It Works…

STEP 1

WEBHOOK TYPE

Choose between an action or trigger and select which events should trigger the webhook or which action should be performed in the IDMS.

STEP 2

DATA MAPPING

Map the ID123 fields to your system’s fields and select what data to include in your webhook payload.

STEP 3

AUTHORIZATION

Optionally add an authorization header to choose how to verify webhook requests both to and from the IDMS.
