Esri ArcGIS Online Feature Services allow you to share map features over the web. With mobile apps and workstations, easy access to collect and edit those features across the organization is gained. Once edits are made, FME makes it easy to manage your hosted data with the ArcGIS Online Reader Writer or ArcGISOnlineConnector. However, not everyone knows that FME is the Data Integration tool that enables automated manipulation of Webhook data for easy processing. With FME, you can move your data from one place to another, enrich it, and manipulate it. During this hour long webinar, we’ll take you through: - An introduction to Webhooks & key terms - A demonstration of Survey123 Webhooks - A demonstration of Field Maps Webhooks - With time to follow for a Q&A session at the end. By leveraging Webhooks, you can initiate a workflow within moments and enrich your data along the way. You’ll leave this webinar with the technical toolset to get started with Webhooks.

7. Unrivaled Data Support

8. What Esri Web Apps are you
currently using?

9. Enrich, manipulate and sync your ArcGIS Online
data in near real-time,
so you can do more with your data

10. Using webhooks, FME Server
can run an automation within
moments of an event
occurring in ArcGIS Online

11. Webhook
Flash Demo

12. Why use Webhooks?
Webhooks are a lightweight integration tool for systems and users.
Allowing us to exchange and transform data in real-time.
● Automate workflows between applications
● Respond to events in real-time
● Synchronize data across all systems
● Build simple, secure, easy to maintain integrations
● Enrich, transform, and deliver data

13. Webhooks vs. REST API
REST API requires us to poll an
application for new data.
Webhooks deliver that data, as
soon as it is available.
Webhooks communicate over the
web via HTTP, like a REST API.
Webhooks can watch for specific
events, then sent event
information to a URL.

14. A Webhook Trigger provides a URL
The URL is given to another application
Whenever an event happens in that
application….
….the automation receives a
message

15. Working with JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a
common format for exchanging information
between applications.
Example webhook message:
{
"surveyInfo": {
"formItemId": "752764383a374belksjdflj234e42216a”…
"eventType": "addData",
"feature": {
"attributes": {
"Name": "FME Lizard",
"Tree_Found": "norway_maple"..}}
FME WORKBENCH
FME SERVER

16. ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Portal can send a webhook message to FME Server when
specified “events” occur. Webhooks can monitor for activity on items, users,
groups or administrative updates*.
*Webhook configuration and availability may vary depending on the type of event, application, or platform.

17. Survey123 Webhooks

18. Survey123
ArcGIS Survey123 is a platform for
creating, sharing, and analyzing surveys.
This allows for the easy collection of data
via the web or a mobile device.

19. Survey123 Webhooks & FME Server
The Goal
Sync data
submitted through
the Survey123 App
to SQL Server &
Tableau
The Obstacles
No direct way to
connect Survey123
to our data
destinations
The Solution
Use FME Server
automations to
retrieve a webhook
message and sync it
to SQL Server and
Tableau
The Result
An always
up-to-date dataset
& dashboard for all
the data submitted
through the
Survey123 App

20. Utilities Reporting App

21. Connecting Survey123 & FME Server
● Survey123 webhook capabilities allow FME Server to
retrieve data every time a survey is submitted
● In FME Server Automations, a Webhook Trigger can pick
up the webhook message and expose it for further
transformations and translations down the line
● Fully automated approach

22. Processing the Webhook Response
● Extract attributes from the webhook response using the JSONFragmenter + more
● ImageFetcher can be used to retrieve the images - for storage we will need to
encode this as a blob
● Write our cleaned up data to two locations: SQL Server table & Google Sheets table

24. Tips & Tricks
● JSONFragmenter makes it easy to
extract attributes and their values
from webhook responses
● Remember to use the
ParameterFetcher to retrieve the
webhook message
● Enable Authentication with an
ArcGIS Online Web Connection in
the ImageFetcher

25. Completing the Automation
● Create a Workspace Action that connects to
the Webhook Trigger

26. Integrating with BI tools
● We can extend our data to other platforms as well such as Tableau
● Data Destination: a format that is digestible and instantly accessible by our BI
tool
○ Google Sheets

27. Demo

28. ArcGIS Field Maps

29. Field Maps (and other applications)
From mobile apps and workstations, those
in the field can collect and edit features
using ArcGIS applications.
● Instant Apps
● Quick Capture
● Collector
● REST API
● Field Maps

30. ArcGIS Feature Service Webhooks
Feature Services allow us to host our map features
online with symbology and relates.
End-users can view and interact with these features
from anywhere.
A Feature Service Webhook can send event data for
any changes, such as inserts, updates, deletions, or
attachments.
Event data is sent to FME Server, instantly.

31. Tools for Feature Service Webhooks
The ArcGISOnlineWebhookDataGetter is
custom transformer designed to
process ArcGIS Webhook payloads.
Available for download on the FME Hub
Updated feature data is accessed
through a “changesURL” provided
in the webhook message.

32. Instant Updates from the Field
The Goal
Employees must be
notified as soon as
theyʼve been
assigned new work
orders.
The Obstacles
Work order
information is
collected, stored, and
assigned by separate
employees and
applications.
The Solution
Use Feature Service
webhooks to
integrate ArcGIS data
with the work
management
applications.
The Result
Work management
is more efficient
when employees
have access to the
most up-to-date
information.

33. Demo

34. Tips & Tricks
● The AGOL account must have
permissions to Admin settings.
● Ensure the Feature Service settings
allows for edits to be tracked.
● The ArcGISOnlineWebhookDataGetter
extracts data from the Feature Service
webhook payload.
● We can listen for kinds of events on
AGOL and Portal. (Click the platform
for available Webhook events.)

35. Summary Points
FME Server Automations make it easy to
process Survey123 and Feature Service
webhook responses in real-time. This
allows you transform your ArcGIS data
and extend it to other platforms.
Feature updates are just one example of
event types webhooks can watch for.
ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Portal support
webhooks for other kinds of events, like
user or administrative activity.
