Section overview

The following section allows configuring and monitoring of hooks for Provisioning API

Provisioning API provides a mechanism for real-time integration with 3rd party systems, including softswitches, gateways, and CRM systems. It calls pre-defined handlers on an occurrence of specific events in the system. The handlers are allowed to modify data, forbid or allow the action or simply process given event.

For detailed information about Provisioning API functionality, go to the APIs section of our User Guide.

To configure handlers and check their call log, go to the Integration > Provisioning API.

Best practice example

There is an example based on https://hostname/handler-endpoint usage.

Open the Provisioning section and start creating a handler.

  1. Specify the name, type, and status.
  2. In the Event field, select Clients Create event from the drop-down list.
  3. In the Task field, indicate HTTPS type and define the URL for the handler, for example, my-domain.org/api.

from flask import Flask, request
import json
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/api", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def api():
    data = json.loads(request.data)
    return json.dumps(data)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()
