Which option describes the use of webhook URLs in FME Flow?

• A. Share a workspace with a coworker as an application
• B. Run a workspace programmatically
• C. Share a workspace through the Flow UI
• D. Download and open a workspace in FME Workbench

Answer: (B)

Webhooks in FME Flow provide a way to trigger actions from external systems by calling a URL. In this context, a webhook URL is used to start a workspace run automatically—when the URL is invoked (for example, via an HTTP request), Flow begins executing the specified workspace without needing to open the Flow UI manually. This is exactly what “run a workspace programmatically” means: a programmatic trigger initiated by an external system. The other options describe actions that aren’t about triggering runs via a URL. Sharing a workspace with a coworker as an application involves collaboration or distribution, not an automated trigger. Sharing through the Flow UI is about access within the UI, not starting a run. Downloading and opening a workspace in FME Workbench is a desktop, manual operation, not a webhook-triggered process.
