Webhooks can notify you when a workflow is completed. You can then immediately download and consume the newly translated file. No time wastedWebhooks instantly alert you upon workflow completion, allowing you to promptly download and use the translated file, saving time.

For this, see the API method: projects/{pid}/workflows/list/deliveredcompleted

Webhook event

When a workflow completes your URL will be called.

Make sure to configure the web hook to transmit below properties either in the URL or the HTTP BODY:

  • Project ID: Use placeholder: {{projectId}}

  • Document IDs: (From December 2024), please use {{documentIds}} (an array of documents). With Standard projects, a workflow may include more than 1 document.

    • The former placeholder {{documentId}} is still available but is superseded with a plural version to cater to multi-document workflows, see bullet point above.

  • Target Locale: Use placeholder: {{branchLocale}} - Preferred over {{targetLocale}}

With these properties you have all that is needed to download the file.
