Introduction
Postman is an API development tool that is used to create, test, and modify APIs. Almost all of the features or tools that are required for testing the API are available in this tool. We can also add External apps in postman to automate many processes.
This blog will discuss integrations and Webhooks in postman. We will also discuss the steps for accessing the integration and the steps required to configure a custom webhook.
Accessing integrations
We can share the data between the postman and other tools but it is very difficult to do it manually. So, integrations help us to automate this process of sharing data between postman and other tools.
For accessing the integrations page follow the below steps:
1. From the homepage, Select Integrations.
2. After clicking on the above option. A new page will appear on that page click on Browse All Integrations.
3. Search for the app or service that you want to add.
You can search or select any integration that you want to add to your workspace. The page for each integration provides instructions on how to utilize it and lists its potential uses. You can use the View or View All option to get the details of any previously set-up integrations.
Installed apps
External apps or services can be connected with the postman but every time you add a new app, you need to authorize it. This step of authorizing again and again can be skipped using installed apps in postman.
CI integrations
Some of the most popular CI/CD tools are integrated with Postman. Once you've configured CI integration for your API, you can access Postman to check the status of existing builds or start a new one. As part of your CI pipeline, you can also run API tests that you've built in Postman.
