Configuring and Subscribing to Webhooks

Subscribing to webhook events is done in 3 simple steps:

Step 1: Create a Webhook Connection

Step 2: Enter URL Address

Step 3: Test Webhook Request

Create a webhook connection

In your Frontegg Portal, go to Environments ➜ [NAME OF ENVIRONMENT] ➜ Integrations.

The page lists all your webhooks and has a button for adding a new webhook.

Click the Connect button next to Webhooks. Fill in the webhook details for display name choose the events you want to subscribe to.

Enter URL Address

Enter the URL at which you will receive the webhook data. The URL acts like an address that where Frontegg sends a JSON message to when the assigned event occurs.

Here is an example of the structure and content of the JSON.

  },
  "eventKey": "frontegg.user.created"
}

Test Webhook Request

For the test to succeed, ensure your URL endpoint is up and running and returns a 200 response to the webhook request.

📘

Webhook response

Any 2XX code will be registered as success
Any 4XX code will be registered as failure
The response body can remain empty.

Security

Protecting your requests with a Secret Key:

We strongly recommend to set a Secret Key for each webhook connection your create.
Go to your Settings Tab, and under the Secret key field, enter a value that is confidential. Frontegg will generate a header called x-webhook-secret and will sign the webhook request using the secret.

To verify the hook's signature using thex-webhook-secret header, you should use a method from your backend library.

For example, for Node.js you could use the below function:

jwt.verify(<x-webhook-secret-value>, <the secret in the dashboard on bhook settings>)
