Setting up Workato for Skilljar Webhook Triggers
Pass data from Skilljar into Workato, an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) solution.
Workato has over 1000 application connections that require no coding, allowing you to use Skilljar's Webhook triggers to easily pass data between different business applications. You can find more about Webhooks at Using Webhooks API and iPaaS Webhook Setup Instructions.
To setup Workato for Skilljar Webhook triggers, follow these steps:
1. Create an API Key for Workato from your Skilljar Dashboard
