  • Updated

Pass data from Skilljar into Workato, an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) solution.

Workato has over 1000 application connections that require no coding, allowing you to use Skilljar's Webhook triggers to easily pass data between different business applications. You can find more about Webhooks at Using Webhooks API and iPaaS Webhook Setup Instructions

  1. Select Organization on the left of the page to reveal the options. 
  2. Select API Credentials to open the settings page.
