Overview

This node acts as a webhook trigger for receiving new events from Finlight. It listens for incoming POST requests on a specified webhook path and validates the request based on the selected authentication method (Webhook Secret, Basic Auth, or None). Upon successful validation, it extracts relevant event data from the webhook payload and outputs it for further workflow processing. This node is useful for automating workflows that respond to real-time Finlight events such as news updates, sentiment analysis, or company-related information.

Use Case Examples

1. Automatically process and analyze news articles as they are published by Finlight.
2. Trigger alerts or notifications based on sentiment or confidence scores in Finlight events.
3. Integrate Finlight event data into CRM or data analytics platforms for enhanced insights.

Dependencies

• Requires credentials for authentication: either a webhook secret key credential or HTTP Basic Auth credentials depending on the selected authentication method.

Troubleshooting

• Unauthorized errors occur if the webhook secret or Basic Auth credentials do not match the incoming request headers. Verify that the correct credentials are configured in the node settings.
• If no authentication is selected, ensure that the webhook endpoint is secured by other means to prevent unauthorized access.
• The node expects a POST request with a JSON body containing specific event fields. Malformed or missing data in the webhook payload may cause incomplete output data.
