What is Cronhooks?
Cronhooks offers a reliable solution for scheduling webhook invocations. Users can set webhooks to be triggered at a precise date and time or configure recurring schedules using standard cron expressions. The platform operates in a timezone-agnostic manner, ensuring schedules run correctly regardless of geographical location. It provides a REST API, allowing integration and scheduling from various applications and technologies. Security is addressed by sending a verifiable signature with each webhook request.
Beyond simple scheduling, Cronhooks features cFlows, a powerful workflow automation tool. cFlows enables users to automate complex processes through instant triggers via unique URLs, dynamic variable management (global, flow-level, request-specific), and built-in functions for tasks like date calculations and string manipulation. It also supports seamless integration with external APIs, databases, and third-party applications, facilitating the automation of intricate business logic and processes.
