Avinode Webhooks

This page contains information and instructions about specific events related to Avinode Marketplace.

Introduction

A webhook subscribes to one or many notification categories. For each category, different types of notifications can be sent. See API reference POST /webhooks/settings page for details on how to subscribe to each type of notification.

Please note: The receiving webhook server should respond with a HTTP 200 status to indicate back to Avinode that the notification was successfully received.

Trip Request

If an operator subscribes to this notification category, the operator will receive a notification each time a broker (buyer) has sent a new trip request to the operator or an existing one has been updated.

Notifications of this type are sent when:

• A new RFQ has been created for the operator.
• An existing RFQ has been updated with additional information, like another lift added.
• An existing RFQ has been canceled by the broker.

After this notification has been consumed, the application can download the RFQ information as described in the Download and Respond to RFQs use case. The application should always use the URL provided in the notification payload when downloading the RFQ.

Trip Request notification example

{
  "id": "arfq-12345678",
  "href": "https://sandbox.avinode.com/api/rfqs/arfq-12345678",
  "type": "rfqs"
}

Trip Chat - Buyer

If an operator subscribes to this notification category, the operator will receive a notification each time a broker (buyer) has sent a new chat message to the operator.

Implementation checklist

All items on this check list must be true in order for an application to be allowed to subscribe to and consume webhook notifications from the live environment.

• When a webhook notification is received, the service will return its response as quickly as possible.
• The receiving webhook server should respond with a HTTP 200 status to indicate successful receipt.
• The application should always use the URL provided in the notification payload when downloading the information.
• The service can consume and handle multiple parallel, and even potentially identical, webhook notifications.
• The application does not break if a previously unknown notification type is received.
• The application must be able to handle that additional JSON properties can be added to notification messages at any time.
