Connect your Webhooks to Weblatch

Installation

0. Sign-up for a Cloudant account
1. Create a weblatch database in your new account.
2. git clone this repo
3. cd into that directory
4. couchapp push . http://{user}:{pass}@{your}.cloudant.com/weblatch

• you can also do erica push . {url} if you'd prefer.

5. Verify that Weblatch is installed by visiting your Cloudant Dashboard.

Webhook Setup

Set your Webhook to POST to...

http://{your}.cloudant.com/weblatch/_design/weblatch/_update/latch

If the body of your POST request is JSON and includes and _id field, the new document will use that _id field for its value. If it does not include an _id field, then Cloudant will generate a UUID.

Alternatively, you can use PUT like so...

http://{your}.cloudant.com/weblatch/_design/weblatch/_update/latch/{doc_id}

Where doc_id is your preferred document ID (aka, doc._id). Depending on the system you're using, PUT may be easier to setup than POST as the sender does not need to include an _id key--the latch update handler will do that.
