Step 3: Configure Webhook Endpoint

Paste your Webhook Endpoint URL into the configuration field. This is where Spidra will send the scraped data. We recommend using Webhook.site for testing purposes. It instantly provides you with a unique temporary URL that displays incoming requests in real time.

​

How to Get a Test Webhook URL:

1. Open https://webhook.site
2. Copy the unique URL provided at the top of the page.

3. Paste this URL into Spidra’s Webhook input field.

Step 4: Schedule the Automation

Set how often you want this webhook to run:

• Daily
• Weekly
• Monthly

Specify the exact time you want the automation to run and set the timezone (default is UTC). Use a valid IANA timezone string like Africa/Lagos or America/New_York.

Step 5: Name Your Automation

Give your automation a descriptive name, this helps you identify it later in your automation list.

Step 6: View Incoming Payload on Webhook.site

Once your scheduled time arrives, navigate to Webhook.site. You’ll see the incoming request appear on the page with the full payload. This confirms your automation is working!
