how can jira receive a webhook

Question

Hi,

I have an application that sends a webhook to a Jira Server. I want the Jira Server to consume that webhook and then create a Jira issue with the information passed in this webhook.

I followed all the tutorials to be able to create my an add-on in Jira. But I could not find any documentation or example that indicate how to make my add-on listen and react to a webhook. All the webhook information I found was about sending a webhook not listening to one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

The application that is sending the data that I want to listen to is sending a webhook I wish it was sending a simple REST call but its not and I have no control over it. This is why I need a way, add-on or not, for Jira to listen to this webhook.
