New orders notification from Magento to my webhook

[OnArs]

Hey hey!

Is it possible to receive notifications about new orders from Magento to my custom webhook?

I know that it is possible to do this in Shopify for example and use it already so would be great to have the same thing in Magento. I could find any information regarding this in the docs.

Thanks

Yes, it is possible to receive notifications about new orders from Magento to your custom webhook. Magento provides an event-based system called "Magento Message Queue" that allows you to create and configure message queues to send and receive messages between different systems.

To set up a webhook for new order notifications, you can follow these general steps:

1. Create a new message queue in Magento and configure it to send notifications for new orders. You can use the sales_order_place_after event to trigger the message.

2. Set up your custom webhook to receive messages from the message queue. This can be done using a third-party service like Zapier or Integromat, or you can build your own webhook receiver using a programming language like PHP or Node.js.

3. Once your webhook is set up and listening for messages, Magento will send a notification to your webhook every time a new order is placed.

Here are some resources that can help you get started with Magento Message Queue:

• Magento DevDocs: https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/messaging/message-queue-quick-start.html

• Magento Message Queue Overview: https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/messaging/message-queue-overview.html

• Magento Message Queue Events: https://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.4/messaging/message-queue-events.html

Keep in mind that setting up a message queue and webhook can be complex, so it may be helpful to work with a Magento developer or consultant to ensure everything is set up correctly.
