TravelPerk Trip webhook

This is a super exciting update, as you no longer need to poll our API to find new trips.
The new webhook allows you to subscribe to notifications whenever a trip is created or changed - generating more accurate value for customers by integrating efficiently with TravelPerk.
How does it help you?
Now you can trigger any workflow based on a trip and specific details associated with that trip.
For example, to calculate the per diem expense allowance:
  1. Subscribe to the webhook to get a notification as soon as a new trip is booked.
  2. Within the same payload - all the details about the destinations, timings, and duration will be shared - allowing you to calculate exactly what the traveler is entitled to.
  3. If there are any changes to the itinerary - you’ll be notified to adjust the allowance accordingly.
Learn more about how the webhook works and how to implement it in our documentation.

For developers, by developers

Lastly, did you hear about our new blog post written by our own engineers? Start your week with a quick read on how our team while busy building our platform for the future, is focusing on the core belief, that building fewer but better things drives great impact.
