Webhooks

A webhook is a way for a system to provide other systems with real-time information whenever a certain action takes place.

You can create webhooks to instantly deliver information to another system your organisation uses whenever a new activity or user is created, updated or deleted.

Webhooks will immediately work after it's created and you cannot update model/event after a webhook has been created.

Assemble supports triggering a webhook whenever a change is made to one of the following:

• User
• Activity
• Vetting

Data format

All webhooks POST JSON to the URL provided with the following format:

{
    "model": <(string) Name of Model>,
    "action": <create|update|deleting>,
    "data": <(object) Model data, see API Docs for format>
}

Authentication

There are two authentication options available, Basic Authentication and a signed header.  The signed header adds an "X-Signing-Hash" header to the request which is comprised of an SHA hash of the payload, with whitespace removed, and a unique signing key appended.

If you require further information about webhooks and the information contained within the data stream, please contact Assemble support.
