A webhook is required for HaloPSA dashboards to function properly. Configure the HaloPSA webhook according to the steps below. 

Note

It is important to configure the webhook correctly. If not properly set, an incorrect webhook may affect the normal data synchronization adversely and trigger HaloPSA's request limit rate of 450 requests within 5 minutes. A correct webhook configuration request ensures that the system will not initiate duplicate synchronizations, thereby reducing the possibility of triggering the rate limit.
