Automation Hub (Webhooks)

What it does

For stores that connect CS-Cart to other tools. Pick events such as order placed, status changed, shipment created, low stock or customer registered, enter a URL and the store posts a JSON request each time. Works with Make, n8n, Zapier, Pipedream, a spreadsheet or your own server. The core Zapier add-on only talks to Zapier, inside the checkout request and without retries or a log.

How it works

Open Administration, Automation Hub and start from a recipe or any URL. Choose events, full JSON or a flat spreadsheet row, the fields you need and optional order status or vendor filters. Save and send a test with your newest real order. Each request carries an HMAC-SHA256 signature and an event id. The Google Sheets recipe is a short Apps Script you paste into your sheet; n8n gets an importable workflow.
