Integrate Loops with Clerk

Create a Clerk webhook endpoint in Loops

Loops' Incoming webhooks⁠ feature lets Loops accept webhooks directly from external platforms like Clerk.

To create a new webhook endpoint in Loops:

1. Navigate to the Clerk settings page in the Loops dashboard⁠.
2. Save the Endpoint URL somewhere secure; you're going to need it for Clerk's webhook configuration.

Create a webhook in the Clerk Dashboard

You must create a new Clerk webhook endpoint so that it can send data to Loops. Here is where you will provide the Endpoint URL from the last step, and then choose the events you want to listen to.

1. In the Clerk Dashboard, navigate to the Webhooks⁠ page.
2. Select the Add Endpoint button.
3. In the Endpoint URL field, paste the Endpoint URL that you saved from Loops.
4. In the Message Filtering section, select the user.created and/or user.updated events, depending on your desired setup.
5. Select the Create button.
6. You will be redirected to your endpoint's settings page. Leave this page open.

Add your signing secret in Loops

To keep communication secure between the two platforms:

1. On the Clerk endpoint's settings page, copy the Signing Secret. It should be on the right side of the page with an eye icon next to it.
2. Back in the Loops dashboard, add the Signing Secret.

Configure Loops events

The final step is to configure which events Loops should accept from Clerk and what Loops should do with the data.

In the Loops dashboard, under Complete Setup, enable the events you selected in Clerk in step 2. Doing this will sync your Clerk users to Loops when they are created or updated in Clerk.

For each event, you can optionally choose to trigger a "loop⁠" when new webhooks are sent to Loops, by selecting an event in the Trigger an event field. This is useful, for example, if you want to send an email welcome sequence to new Clerk users.

You can also choose to assign a user group value for each Clerk user, which will help you organize and segment contacts in Loops.
