Hey Gary - I see that we’ve already enabled our Webhooks beta on your account, so you should be good to start using this.

To automatically send Webhook data into a flow, you should use the Webhook Import step. This FAQ topic explains how to use that step in more detail:

> How the feature works: You can pull incoming webhook data into a flow to use as data in the flow by using the [Receive from webhook step](https://parabola.io/integration/webhook#receive-from-webhook) that is now available in your builder. Who has access The webhook feature is currently offered to users on our Advanced plan. For more information on our subscription levels, check out our [pricing page](https://parabola.io/pricing).

This post from another customer troubleshooting their Webhook Import might help as well!

> Hi, I have a problem using the Webhook Input on my flow. Every time I send information using the Webhook (I am sending a JSON with information in the body), but the information I send is not reflected in the flow (the Webhook Input is empty) and therefore throws an error and I cannot edit the fields with the JSON Flattener and the Column Filter.

Where are you trying to send data from?
