### Webhooks
In order to create a webhook in Salesforce we need to create an APEX Class, Remote Site and Apex Trigger.

Create the APEX Class
```
In this example we are going to read the apex_class.txt file in the files folder included in this repository:

with open(os.path.join('/path/to/apex_class.txt'), 'r') as file:
body = file.read()

response = client.create_apex_class('WebhookClass', body)
```

Create the Remote Site
```
URL is a string with the domain of your site:

url = 'https://mywebsite.com/'
response = client.create_remote_site('RemoteSiteSetting', url)
```

Create the APEX Trigger
```
To create the Trigger, we are going to read the apex_trigger.txt file and replace some values.

with open(os.path.join('/path/to/apex_trigger.txt'), 'r') as file:
body = file.read()

sobject = 'User'
event = 'after insert'
url = 'https://mywebsite.com/notification_url/' #This is the domain url + your webhook path

body = body.replace('{sobject}', sobject)
body = body.replace('{events}', event)
body = body.replace('{url}', "'" + url + "'")

response = client.create_apex_trigger('WebhookTrigger', body, sobject)
```

That's all, you should receive notifications every time you create a new user in your Salesforce dashboard.
