Manage Webhooks

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.

Webhook workflow

Create a webhook

POST /webhooks

Create a new webhook. Users can create multiple webhooks in a single request.

Payload parameters

Attribute

Description

Required

webhooks

array[object] The details for each webhook you would like to create. Its child attributes are described below.

Yes

webhooks.url

string URL for outbound webhook request.

Yes

webhooks.name

string The webhook's name.

Yes

webhooks.global

boolean If true, you will receive all notifications even if they do not pertain to you.

Yes

webhooks.notificationType

array A list of the webhook notifications you would like to receive. See the webhook notifications table for a list of possible values.

Yes

webhooks.actionType

string Specifies when to start the webhook. The options are triggered or received. When this attribute is set to triggered, the webhook will execute when the user who registered the webhook triggered the event. If this attribute is set to received, the webhook will execute if the user who registered the webhook receives an event triggered by another user.

Yes

webhooks.secret

string Shared secret for computing the webhook signature using HMAC authentication. Once this field is configured, webhooks sent by Immuta will include a x-immuta-webhook-signature header that contains an HMAC digest created using this Node.js method:

createHmac('sha1', decryptedSecret).update(JSON.stringify(data)).digest('hex')

Use SHA-1 and the shared secret you configured to verify the webhook signature.
