Order payload sizes can reach over 600kbs. Ensure that all servers and content delivery networks (CDNs) can accommodate API payloads of this size. |
When a restaurant makes any update to an order, or creates a new
order, the orders
webhook sends an HTTP request to an
endpoint you specify using the order_updated
webhook event.
For more information about the order_updated
webhook event,
see order_updated details and message values.
The HTTP request that you receive includes:
-
The Toast platform unique identifier (GUID) of the order_updated event.
-
A timestamp value indicating when an order is updated or created.
-
An Order object containing the complete order information.
-
The Toast platform unique identifier (GUID) for the restaurant that made the update.
The order_updated webhook event eliminates the need for
you to submit GET
requests for order updates. You
can use the updated order details to adjust your business operations. For
example, if a guest adds a new menu item to their order, you can adjust
the time needed to deliver the order.
In an orders
webhook message, the
eventCategory
and eventType
are set to
order_updated
or channel_order_updated
.
The orders webhook event type is order_updated
or
channel_order_updated
. A new order is also considered an
update and uses this same event type. You receive the complete order, in
the JSON format, when any change is made to an order. This webhook message
response is similar to the response from an authorized
GET request to the
/orders/v2/orders/
API
endpoint. The primary difference between these two responses is that the
webhook message contains additional details relevant to the
{orderGuid}
order_updated
event such as the timestamp
of
when an order was updated or created. The Order
object is in
the details
field of the webhook message body as shown in the
Orders webhook sample message
.
Attributes in the orders_updated
payload include:
