Great job, you’ve connected a Bubble webhook endpoint. From this point on, we’ll create a queue of every event you send from Bubble and collect them in your Velvet workspace.

Note: Because Bubble does not offer a webhook plug-in, you'll need to repeat this backend workflow process for each webhook type you want sent to Velvet. Email [email protected] for tech support.
