# particle webhooks

You should configure your Particle.io's Webhooks to point at the `webhooks`
service. To do this go to [https://console.particle.io][particle.io]
and click `Integrations > New Integration > Webhook`. In the resulting page set
`URL` to `http://<my_ip>:1619/particle`, and  under `Advanced Settings` click
on `JSON` and add:

```json
{
    "measurement": "your_measurement_name"
}
```

If required, enter your username and password, etc. and then click `Save`

[particle.io]: https://console.particle.io/

## Events

Your Particle device should publish an event that contains a JSON in the form
of:

```json
String data = String::format("{ \"tags\" : {
     \"tag_name\": \"tag_value\",
     \"other_tag\": \"other_value\"
    },
 \"values\": {
     \"value_name\": %f,
  \"other_value\": %f,
    }
    }",  value_value, other_value
 );
    Particle.publish("event_name", data, PRIVATE);
```

Escaping the "" is required in the source file.
The number of tag values and field values is not restricted so you can send as
many values per webhook call as you'd like.

You will need to enable JSON messages in the Webhooks setup of Particle.io, and
make sure to check the "include default data" box as well.
