Webhooks API Reference Guide

Webhooks notify users or other systems when actions happen in Immuta. Every action that generates a notification is available as a webhook.

This page lists the REST endpoints for managing webhooks and provides examples of requests.

Webhook overview

Application Admins can configure webhooks that are triggered by events that happen in the system (such as when data sources or projects are created), but any user can configure webhooks that are triggered by access requests and activity notifications.

All user-configured webhook integrations must respond within 10 seconds of receiving the webhook request payload. If the webhook integration takes longer to respond, the request will timeout.
