Webhook verification failed

Question

I’m trying to create a webhook within my internal app. Whenever I click the “Create” button on the “Create Webhook” page a toast pops up saying “Webhook veritification failed”. I have verified from the logs (and from trying it in curl myself) that the URL is responding with a 200 status, application/json type and “{ "type": "success" }” as the content.

What else do I need to do to get Front to accept my webhook url?

Hi there! Welcome to the Front Community 👏

So, based on what you’ve stated the response you’re sending back to Front is incorrect for Application based webhooks. It doesn’t look like you’re including the x-front-challenge value, but instead sending back a generic success JSON object.

You’ll want to reference Front’s dev docs on this subject here for more information on how to correctly validate your application webhook.

Hope this helps!

Thank you that was it! Just blanked on that bit of the docs when I read them :/
