CrewAI Enterprise allows you to automate your workflow using webhooks. This article will guide you through the process of setting up and using webhooks to kickoff your crew execution, with a focus on integration with ActivePieces, a workflow automation platform similar to Zapier and Make.com.

​
Setting Up Webhooks

1

Accessing the Kickoff Interface

  • Navigate to the CrewAI Enterprise dashboard
  • Look for the /kickoff section, which is used to start the crew execution
2

Configuring the JSON Content

In the JSON Content section, you’ll need to provide the following information:

  • inputs: A JSON object containing:
    • company: The name of the company (e.g., “tesla”)
    • product_name: The name of the product (e.g., “crewai”)
    • form_response: The type of response (e.g., “financial”)
    • icp_description: A brief description of the Ideal Customer Profile
    • product_description: A short description of the product
    • taskWebhookUrl, stepWebhookUrl, crewWebhookUrl: URLs for various webhook endpoints (ActivePieces, Zapier, Make.com or another compatible platform)

Integrating with ActivePieces

In this example we will be using ActivePieces. You can use other platforms such as Zapier and Make.com

To integrate with ActivePieces:

  1. Set up a new flow in ActivePieces

  2. Add a trigger (e.g., Every Day schedule)

  3. Add an HTTP action step

    • Set the action to Send HTTP request

    • Use POST as the method

    • Set the URL to your CrewAI Enterprise kickoff endpoint

    • Add necessary headers (e.g., Bearer Token)

    • In the body, include the JSON content as configured in step 2

    • The crew will then kickoff at the pre-defined time.

Setting Up the Webhook

  1. Create a new flow in ActivePieces and name it

  2. Add a webhook step as the trigger:

    • Select Catch Webhook as the trigger type

    • This will generate a unique URL that will receive HTTP requests and trigger your flow

    • Configure the email to use crew webhook body text
