Configure Web hook
Twixor EnCaps offers something that could save your valuable time.
Web hooks are "user-defined HTTP callbacks". They are usually triggered by some event, such as a button press or entering some data into a form. When that event occurs, the source site calls URL configured for the web-hook. Basically, what it means is that once the user performs a particular action like pressing a button, you can make sure that a predefined follow on action of calling on another website is performed automatically. For Example, if your campaign has a button to give driving directions be it your business location, on pressing that driving button, Google maps linked to your store address automatically opens up.
Basically, Web hooks allow you to configure your campaign to cause events to trigger a particular behavior on another site. The action taken may be anything. Common uses are to trigger the payment options, to trigger Google maps or to trigger event modules.
