Setup Webhooks

Get notifications asynchronously when events occur instead of having to poll for updates

Our webhook implementation follows the Standard Webhooks specification and our SDKs offer:

  • Built-in webhook signature validation for security
  • Fully typed webhook payloads

In addition, our webhooks offer built-in support for Slack & Discord formatting. Making it a breeze to setup in-chat notifications for your team.

Get Started

  1. 1

    Add new endpoint

    Head over to your organization settings and click on the Add Endpoint button to create a new webhook.

  2. 2

    Specify your endpoint URL

    Enter the URL to which the webhook events should be sent.

  3. 3

    Choose a delivery format

    For standard, custom integrations, leave this parameter on Raw. This will send a payload in JSON format.

    If you wish to send notifications to a Discord or Slack channel, you can select the corresponding format here. Outception will then adapt the payload so properly formatted messages are sent to your channel.

    If you paste a Discord or Slack Webhook URL, the format will be automatically selected.

  4. 4

    Set a secret

    We cryptographically sign the requests using this secret. So you can easily verify them using our SDKs to ensure they are legitimate webhook payloads from Outception.

    You can set your own or generate a random one.

  5. 5

    Subscribe to events

    Finally, select all the events you want to be notified about and you're done 🎉

Now, it's time to integrate our endpoint to receive events →
