finlight Now Supports Webhooks – Real-Time Financial News, Delivered Instantly

We’ve just taken a major step forward in making real-time financial data more accessible, flexible, and automation-friendly.

You asked for it – and now it’s here:
Webhooks are officially part of the finlight service portfolio, sitting alongside our REST API and WebSocket streaming.

And that’s not all. We’re also thrilled to announce new integrations with Make.com and Zapier, empowering low-code users and automation-focused teams to connect finlight’s financial news to thousands of apps – with zero custom code.

What Are Webhooks?

Webhooks allow you to receive real-time updates pushed directly to your application as soon as something happens – no polling, no waiting.

In finlight, this means:

• Breaking financial news delivered instantly to your endpoint
• Custom filters for specific sources, topics, or instruments
• Perfect for event-driven workflows, alerts, data ingestion pipelines, or news-based triggers

Whether you're powering a news feed, alerting traders, updating a database, or kicking off workflows – Webhooks make it real-time and frictionless.

Example Use Cases with Webhooks

• 🚨 Trigger Slack alerts when relevant market news drops
• 📈 Feed news into a stock trading algorithm the moment it’s published
• 🧾 Push breaking headlines into a Notion or Google Sheet automatically
• 🤖 Trigger AI models or downstream services the moment new data arrives

Integrations with Make.com & Zapier

No code? No problem.

We’ve partnered with Make.com and Zapier to offer seamless low-code integrations. You can now use finlight’s data inside:

• Slack
• Google Sheets
• Airtable
• Discord
• Notion
• Databases

• And thousands of other services

All without writing a single line of backend code.

⚙️ What You Can Build:

• Automated news alerts for your team
• Custom dashboards that update in real-time
• CRM entries tagged with latest financial headlines
• Event-based triggers for workflows or trading decisions

These tools make it incredibly easy for non-engineers or lean product teams to work with financial news data – all powered by finlight.

Whether you’re:

• A fintech startup building the next investing platform
• A developer powering news-based analytics
