Outbound call configuration and security

We have a plan to call an external REST API with the outbound call feature.

However, I can't seem to find any documentation in V2 API explaining how the outbound call works. The only thing that I found is that the outbound call works like the way it used to in V1 API but I cannot find any documentation on V1 either.

Can someone help me on this?

 

Thanks.

Yeah, I saw these posts but there is nothing that talks about securing your call to an external API. 

And is there any official documentation on this?

In this case wait a bit for Clarizen to reply, they can surely help more.

Ok, I have found what I was looking for. If anyone needs do work with outbound calls:

  • Go to http://requestb.in/ and create a temporary url to receive the POST call
  • Create a custom action in Clarizen, set the POST url and the token if you need any security
  • Once your action is saved, execute that action.
  • When the POST is made, return to your http://requestb.in/ and take a look at what the XML looks like
