Automating downloads via webhooks allows you to create custom workflows that trigger automatically with each file download from Furious. This feature is particularly useful for centralizing your exports and reports in external storage spaces like Google Drive or for triggering automated processing of your data.
Access webhook configuration
To configure a webhook on the download event, go to the Alerts & Events section of your Furious interface. This section allows you to set up automatic notifications and webhooks for different events on your platform.
Download webhook configuration
In the configuration interface, you can:
• Select the trigger event: Choose "Your download is ready" from the list of available events so that the webhook triggers with each file download.
• Set the destination URL: Enter the URL of your automation service (n8n, Make.com, Zapier, or any other webhook endpoint) that will receive the download data.
• Customize variables: Use the available dynamic variables to enrich the data transmitted, including the downloaded file information, the user involved, and the associated metadata.
Available variables for downloads
The system provides several dynamic variables that you can integrate into your webhook:
• User information (name, email, identifier)
• File details (name, type, size)
• Export metadata (date, format, content)
• Contextual information (business unit, access rights)
Specific URLs configuration by event
You can now specify a different URL for each type of event, allowing you to create separate workflows depending on the context. This feature allows you to send download webhooks to a script dedicated to file storage while other events can be directed to different endpoints.
Integration with automation platforms
With n8n: Create a workflow that receives the webhook, extracts the file information, downloads it from Furious, and then automatically uploads it to your Google Drive in the chosen folder.
With Make.com: Configure a scenario that captures the webhook, processes the received data, and synchronizes the file with your preferred cloud storage space.
With Zapier: Establish an automation that connects Furious to Google Drive via the download webhook.
Automation result
Once your workflow is configured, each download from Furious will be automatically retrieved and stored in your Google Drive, as illustrated below:
Permissions and security management
Webhooks respect the user permissions set in Furious. Only downloads accessible to the user will trigger the webhook. Ensure to secure your receiving endpoints to prevent unauthorized access to the transmitted data.
Advanced use cases
This feature opens up numerous automation possibilities: automatic archiving of exports in ECM systems, team notifications via Slack or Teams during certain downloads, or automated processing of exported data by custom scripts.
