Integrating Invicti Standard with Webhooks

This document is for:
Invicti Standard

Invicti Standard allows you to integrate with many issue tracking systems using its Send To Actions feature. However, there are some applications for which Invicti Standard does not currently offer integration. Instead, Invicti Standard offers webhook integration for applications that support incoming webhooks. Webhooks are not applications, but they provide a way for an application to get data from other applications with real-time information.

In this topic, Slack’s incoming webhook is used to export reported vulnerabilities.

For further information, see Configuring the User Interface for Custom Send To Actions in Invicti Standard and Configuring Auto Send To Actions in Invicti Standard and What Systems Does Invicti Integrate With?.
