Webhooks

Basic idea

The basic idea of webhooks is to send user data to external systems in order to automate certain tasks like for example sending welcome email to a newly created user.

Setup

On the left side of Defguard navigation, you'll find webhooks page

New webhook form

On the form above, you'll see inputs like URL description token and triggers

• URL is a URL on which data will be sent after certain triggers

• Description short description of your webhook to remember its use case

• Secret token is a token sent with request in authorization header, Note if receiver didn't implement any token check it'll do nothing

• Triggers are events which will trigger the webhook

Sample requests

Note all requests are using GET method and sends data in body of request in JSON format.
