Webhooks

A webhook is an internet address that we will notify about project updates. For example when a project's translation is complete, you will get a "translated" action; same for "proofread" and "completed" statuses. The URL specified must be able to process the information a webhook sends, make use of it, and return a successful response to the MotaWord webhook request.

MotaWord API provides webhooks currently for 3 actions:

• Project translated
• Project proofread
• Project completed

To start receiving webhook callbacks, specify callback_url when you are creating a project. See Create a project.

MotaWord will send the URL you specify calls with this payload:
