Appreciate your response.

So there's a few ways your could approach this. If you want to go the custom code route, the general approach I use is to create a wrapper for the request like the following:

public class SomeRequest {
    public string record_id { get; set; }
}

And then use JSON Class serialize method (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexref.meta/apexref/apex_class_System_Json.htm#apex_System_Json_serialize) to create your JSON payload.

You usually do something similar for the response except you'll deserialize (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.apexref.meta/apexref/apex_class_System_Json.htm#apex_System_Json_deserialize) the response into your response wrapper.

You'll also have to make some type of HTTP request like the following:

Http h = new Http();
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setHeader('Accept', 'application/json');
req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
req.setEndpoint(url);
req.setMethod('POST');
req.setTimeout(30000);
req.setBody(someBody);

HttpResponse res;
res = h.send(req);
Typically, you will call your API/webhook methods asynchronously within a future method called from an Apex trigger.

Let me know if you need any more specific nitty gritty help. Also, there are some AppExchange apps which can make this way easier like Declarative Webhooks (https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N3u00000MSv8REAT).

Hi!

Typically, the way to set this up is by:

1. Creating triggers on the Salesforce Objects you want to get updates for
2. Write Apex class that will send an outgoing message to a pre-determined URL
3. Enable Remote Site Setting for the Domain you want to send the message to
4. Add in Secret Verification (or other auth method) to prevent spamming of your external URL
5. Ensure 70% test coverage of your Apex Classes

If you're just looking for an easy way to set this up without having to jump through the hoops, fusebit packages it nicely in a free 1-click installation, you can read through the docs and see the video walkthrough here: https://developer.fusebit.io/docs/salesforce-events
