Common Use Cases

In this section, we will take a look at some of the most common scenarios in which you can employ the use of Deel webhooks to give you an idea of the flexibility that is possible.

1. Sending notifications to Slack

Deel tries its best to send email notifications for updates. However, collaboration happens in platforms like Slack.

Thus, the most effective way to communicate activities happening in Deel, especially new contracts and contract updates, is via these collaboration channels. This ensures that anyone who needs to take immediate action gets the notification on time. This can also help facilitate discussion on HR operations, which allows the team to stay in sync with activities taking place in Deel.

When subscribing for webhooks to be sent to discussion channels, you can subscribe to as many events as you're interested in. There are no rules as to what you should have sent to you.

2. Updating external task trackers

Most teams today use task tracker tools to stay aligned and productive. Some of these tasks have built-in support for webhooks to create tasks directly from a webhook event.

Most tools have an API that enables you to create and update tasks.

3. Updating HRIS

Companies use Deel for hiring workforce across the globe as contractors or full-time employees but the HRIS (such as BambooHR) is the single source of truth. This is why most organizations have the need to sync hiring data back to their HRIS.

You can use Deel webhooks to send real-time updates to the HRIS.

4. Automating workflows on external processes

Another interesting use of Deel webhooks is in triggering workflows on external applications and processes. This use case is custom, and always depends on which process you want to automate.

If there is a process you need to automate in your custom application, HR tech stack, SaaS applications, or email servers in response to any activity on Deel, you can achieve this automation with Deel webhooks.
