Dynamic web services server
A method is provided for a multi-tenant system to accept web service calls from third party systems over a computer network. The method includes centrally receiving messages with different endpoint URLs from the third party systems over the computer network and processing each message by parsing an endpoint URL of the message to identify a tenant and an action for a payload of the message and authenticating the message. When the message is authenticated, the method further includes generating an acknowledgment of the message based on the identified tenant and the identified action and sending the acknowledgment over the computer network, routing the payload, the identified tenant, and the identified the action to a queue based on the identified tenant, retrieving the payload, the identified tenant, and the identified action from the queue, determining a user script corresponding to the identified action, and executing the user script on the payload.
