Integration
MongoDB to Webhooks
Trigger HTTP webhooks when your MongoDB collections change
Fire custom HTTP webhooks whenever specific conditions are met in your MongoDB database. Connect your MongoDB collections to any API, microservice, or automation platform by sending structured JSON payloads when documents are created, updated, or match a query condition.
This integration turns your MongoDB data into an event source. Use it to sync data to third-party services, trigger downstream processing, update external systems, or kick off complex automation workflows. Every webhook includes the full document data and metadata your receiving service needs.
Setup guide
Connect your MongoDB database
Enter your MongoDB connection string. We support MongoDB Atlas, self-hosted instances, and replica sets.
Select the collection to monitor
Choose which MongoDB collection to watch for changes. You can monitor multiple collections with separate triggers.
Define the trigger condition
Specify when the webhook fires: on new documents, on field updates, or when a custom aggregation query returns results.
Configure the webhook endpoint
Enter the destination URL, HTTP method (POST, PUT, PATCH), headers, and authentication details.
Design the payload
Customize the JSON payload structure. Map MongoDB fields to the format your receiving service expects.
Test and deploy
Send a test webhook to verify the endpoint receives data correctly, then activate the trigger.
Configuration options
webhook_urlThe HTTP endpoint that receives the webhook payload.
Example: https://api.example.com/webhooks/mongodb
http_methodThe HTTP method used for the webhook request.
Example: POST
auth_headerAuthentication header sent with each request.
Example: Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...
retry_policyNumber of retry attempts on failure and backoff strategy.
Example: 3 retries with exponential backoff
payload_templateCustom JSON template for the webhook body.
Example: { "event": "order_created", "data": {{document}} }
Example workflows
Order processing pipeline
Trigger an external fulfillment API when a new order document is inserted into the orders collection.
User event tracking
Send user activity events to your analytics platform whenever a user profile document is updated.
Data sync to external CRM
Push new lead documents to your CRM API in real time as they are created in MongoDB.
Compliance audit logging
Forward all document changes in sensitive collections to your audit logging service with full before/after state.
Troubleshooting
Webhook returns 4xx error
Check the endpoint URL and authentication credentials. Verify the payload format matches what the receiving API expects.
High latency between change and webhook
Reduce the polling interval. For near real-time delivery, ensure your MongoDB instance supports change streams (replica set required).
Missing fields in payload
Review the payload template. MongoDB field names are case-sensitive. Use dot notation for nested fields.
Duplicate webhook deliveries
Implement idempotency on the receiving side using the unique event ID included in every webhook payload.
