Is it possible to trim the length of a webhook ?

I’m trying to connect to an external source and they have a 80 char limit , Losant seems to insist on 81 characters. Can I generate one with less characters ?

@Stewart_McCallum,

Yes, [Experience Endpoints](https://docs.losant.com/experiences/endpoints/) function just like Webhooks. The core difference is, with Experience Endpoints, you get to control the [domain](https://docs.losant.com/experiences/domains/). It’s commonly used to expose custom APIs and web pages from Losant.

Fox, thanks again for your help.

I’ve never worked with the endpoints before , can you walk me thru setting one up for my domain ?

I tried using “GET” [https://mycustomdomain.com/webhook\_baby](https://mycustomdomain.com/webhook_baby)! ( for example) and get an error

When you create your Experience, you’ll get a domain like this:

`https://5eb5670083ea240006793b6b.onlosant.com/login`

That’s what we call a slug URL. If you want a custom domain, you should check out these docs:

> **[Experience Domains And Experience Slugs](https://docs.losant.com/experiences/domains/)**
>
> Learn more about creating and using experience domains and slugs in the Losant platform.

But the best way overall to make an Endpoint is to use the Wizard:

> **[Experience Endpoints](https://docs.losant.com/experiences/endpoints/#endpoint-wizard)**
>
> Learn more about creating and using Experience Endpoints in the Losant platform.

It sets things up for you 🕶

Fox

I’ve tried my “slug” and my custom domain address and both “failed to create endpoint”.

@Stewart_McCallum,

Can you provide more info? What’s failing? Can you include a screenshot?

Yes, please use the Endpoint Wizard to make your endpoint 😉
