What is the best use case for FME Flow webhook URLs?

• A. To share a workspace with a coworker as an application
• B. To run a workspace programmatically
• C. To share a workspace through the FME Flow UI
• D. To download and open a workspace from FME Flow directly in FME Workbench

Answer: (B)

FME Flow webhooks are designed to trigger a workspace to run from an external system via an HTTP request, enabling automated, programmatic execution. The core idea is to allow you to kick off a workspace from scripts, CI/CD pipelines, or other services without manual UI interaction. That makes running a workspace programmatically the best use case for webhook URLs.

Sharing a workspace as an application, or sharing through the UI, describes collaboration or UI access rather than automated execution. Downloading and opening a workspace in FME Workbench implies a desktop workflow, not a webhook-driven trigger. Webhooks provide the trigger mechanism, not direct file sharing or desktop actions.
