Configuring a Webhook

Setup within Connect

To set up Webhooks within Connect, you will need to review the following fields that are required for the initial configuration, and set up a call with InsCipher Sales if you are a new client, or InsCipher Implementation if you are an existing client.

Important fields within the Configuration

Some of the following fields are necessary to be provided to InsCipher in the setup of Webhooks. Though a field may not be required, we encourage adding additional context where needed. You can always update information at any time if your configuration changes or if you wish to remove the Configuration.

Utilizing Headers

Headers are custom input data that can be set up during the webhook configuration process and allow you to further secure incoming requests - such as including signatures to verify the payload or to authenticate secret keys. At this time, only one set of key/value pair can be applied per webhook configuration. When setting up a header, please keep the format to single word text format and keep special characters limited. We're working on expanding functionality in this area.
