Webhooks
Defining a Workspace-wide webhook
If you want to define a webhook endpoint that will be called for any document, click on the Webhooks link in the main navigation.
In the endpoints list click on the + Add Endpoint button. You can then set a URL and select the documents.generation.success event type.
That's it. Your endpoint will now be called anytime a Document is generated.
Defining a Template-specific webhook
In many cases, like when using NoCode/LowCode platforms, you may need to use a Template-specific webhook.
To define such a webhook, start by copying the ID of the Template for which to define it.
Then click on the Webhooks link in the main navigation.
In the endpoints list click on the + Add Endpoint button. You can then set a URL and select the documents.generation.success event type.
In the channels field, add template-YOUR_TEMPLATE_ID.
That's it. Your endpoint will now be called anytime a Document is generated using your Template.
Channels are case-sensitive!
When adding your Template ID to the channels list, always make sure you paste it in upper-case, otherwise your endpoint will never be called.
Using the same webhook for several Templates or a Folder
If you need to call the same webhook enpoint for several Templates but not all your Templates, you can add up to 3 channels to an endpoint.
If 3 is not enough, you can group the Templates in a Folder and use the folder ID as channel.
Follow the same steps as listed above, but add folder-YOUR_FOLDER_ID in the channels list.
Channels are case-sensitive!
When adding your Template ID to the channels list, always make sure you paste it in upper-case, otherwise your endpoint will never be called.
Verifying requests
Because of the way webhooks work, attackers can impersonate services by simply sending a fake webhook to an endpoint.
In order to prevent it, Svix (the service we now use to call your endpoints) signs every webhook and its metadata with a unique key for each endpoint. This signature can then be used to verify the webhook indeed comes from Svix, and only process it if it is.
