Webhooks are automated messages sent from one system to another in real time whenever a specific event occurs. They allow data to flow instantly, without the need for manual exports or scheduled syncing. In Cinema8, webhooks connect your interactive videos to other tools, sending or receiving viewer data the moment actions happen. This enables live updates, automation, and deeper integration with platforms like CRMs, LMSs, or analytics systems.

Cinema8 webhooks use standard HTTP POST requests to push data to your chosen endpoints whenever a predefined video event occurs. You can also receive data from APIs to influence playback or logic decisions inside your video. This two-way communication makes it possible to sync user progress, trigger system actions, or update records in real time and all from within the interactive experience.
Server-side webhooks handle communication between Cinema8 and your back-end systems, sending data to CRMs, LMSs, or analytics tools securely. Callbacks operate on the client side, often using JavaScript, and trigger immediate responses within the viewer’s browser. For example, a response may show a new overlay to the viewer or change the video's behaviour. Together, webhooks and callbacks provide full flexibility for both internal and external integrations.
Cinema8 webhooks can push viewer data such as quiz scores, engagement metrics, or form submissions directly into your CRM or LMS. This removes the need for manual reporting and helps teams track progress automatically. Webhooks can also trigger follow-up workflows, update lead records, or issue completion statuses based on real-time video interactions.
While webhooks are primarily designed for developers and integration teams, Cinema8 simplifies setup with visual configuration options and templates. You can connect endpoints or trigger actions without deep coding knowledge. For more advanced automation, developers can extend functionality through custom scripts or API calls.

Security is handled through token-based authentication, HTTPS encryption, and permission-controlled endpoints. Each webhook event includes headers and verification tokens to ensure data integrity. You can restrict access by domain or API key, guaranteeing that only authorised systems can send or receive data from your Cinema8 projects.
Webhooks can automate lead generation, LMS reporting, analytics tracking, and customer onboarding. For instance, an interactive training video can send completion data to an LMS, or a marketing video can trigger CRM updates when a viewer interacts with a form. These automations keep your content connected to business outcomes and data workflows.
Cinema8’s webhooks and callbacks make your video projects smarter, more connected, and fully automated. Simplify integrations and power real-time data exchange across your entire tech stack.
