Connect Inherit to your stack

Use Inherit's webhook to trigger handoff creation from Zapier, Make (Integromat), or any automation tool — no code required. Connect to 6,000+ apps including HubSpot, Salesforce, Slack, Notion, and more.

Inherit exposes a single webhook endpoint that accepts an array of accounts and creates a full handoff — complete with AI-generated briefs — in one request. Point any automation tool at this URL and Inherit handles the rest.

The webhook endpoint requires an Enterprise plan. Get your webhook key from Integrations settings.

Send a POST request to this URL with your accounts and Inherit will create the handoff and generate briefs automatically.

Required headers

Content-Type: application/json
x-inherit-signature: <hex(HMAC-SHA256(WEBHOOK_SECRET_KEY, raw_body))>

Compute the signature server-side using your WEBHOOK_SECRET_KEY (separate from webhook_key). Both are issued from Integrations settings. We never accept secrets in the URL or query string — those leak into proxy logs, CDN logs, and browser referrer headers.

Request body (JSON)

{
  "webhook_key": "wk_your_user_webhook_key",

    }

Tip:For multi-account handoffs, use Zapier's Looping by Zapier action to collect multiple accounts before sending a single webhook request.

{
  "webhook_key": "wk_your_webhook_key_here",
  "handoff_name": "{{1.ownerName}} territory handoff",
  "accounts": [
    {
      "account_name": "{{1.companyName}}",
      "annual_revenue": "{{1.arr}}",
      "last_contact": "{{formatDate(1.lastActivityDate; 'YYYY-MM-DD')}}",
      "deal_stage": "{{1.dealStage}}"
    }
  ]
}

Common workflows teams build with Inherit + Zapier or Make:

After Inherit generates your briefs, you can use the returned handoff_url to notify the incoming rep. Add additional actions in your Zap or Make scenario after the webhook call:

For custom integrations, multi-step workflows, or higher volume automation, use the Inherit REST API directly. The API gives you full control over handoff creation, brief generation, CRM write-back, and more.
