Additional Information

SubcontractorHub users now have the capability to push Custom Data for their events via Webhooks. By selecting a trigger applicable to all events, users can access the "Accept Custom Data" section where they can opt to enable this feature and choose specific Project keys for data push to the server. Additionally, users can review and select mapped fields associated with the chosen project key.
