The extension popup can be opened and closed using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+E (or Cmd+Shift+E for Mac)

Sending a Webhook

Once you have created an action, the extension popup will open to the Send tab, selecting the first action where your current URL matches with the URL RegEx pattern. From this tab, you can modify the form as needed and send a webhook to FlexDeploy.

Select a different action in the dropdown, if the action wasn’t automatically set correctly.
Update the webhook URL as needed.
Enter values for any properties not already filled in.
- For single item properties, simply enter the correct value in the input field.
- For list data properties, select whichever option(s) in the dropdown you would like sent with the payload. Additionally, you can type a new option and click Enter to add and select a new option.

After reviewing, click Send Webhook to send the payload to FlexDeploy. After receiving a response, the result will be indicated with a for a valid response or awith the error message for a failed response. You can check the console logs for more details after a failed response.

Check the incoming webhook messages page in your FlexDeploy instance to see how the webhook was received and processed.

Creating/Updating an Action

From the My Actions tab, you can create and configure your own actions which will define the content being sent to FlexDeploy. Each action will be linked to some webhook URL defined by you, so you could have different actions for each webhook function you want to run in FlexDeploy.

Actions are saved in the browser’s local storage, so actions will be cleared whenever browsing data is cleared.
