Use custom domain in webhook urls

  • Goal: I want my workflow webhook APIs to use the custom domain that I've connected to retool

  • Steps: 1) set up custom domain with retool 2) verified that going to custom domain brings up retool 3) verified that the custom domain is https 4) created a new workflow 5) tried to select custom domain as url for the webhook but failed

  • Details: see steps above

  • Screenshots:


Welcome to the community, @Alex_Wada! Thanks for reaching out and for your patience. :slightly_smiling_face:

This is currently only possible if you are running a self-hosted instance. On our Cloud infrastructure, you'll notice that the domain for all webhook triggers is a generic one (api.retool.com) that is shared among all organizations.

Is there a particular reason that you are interested in changing the domain? Under most circumstances, these requests are sent behind the scene and are thus not visible to users.

UPDATE: I recently realized that generating an alias for the webhook also causes the URL to use your org's custom domain.

I hope the above was helpful, @Alex_Wada! Or at least informative. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
