We’re hyped to announce a new feature that puts you in control of your webhook security: Personal Secrets! This powerful addition allows you to ensure the authenticity and integrity of webhooks, giving you enhanced control over the security of your webhook notifications. Read the full documentation here
Webhooks are essential for integrating applications, providing real-time notifications and updates. However, ensuring the authenticity of these notifications is crucial to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches. With the introduction of personal secrets, you can now securely sign your webhooks, allowing your server to verify that incoming requests are legitimate.
Increased Security: Personal secrets enable the use of an X-Signature
header for all outgoing webhook notifications. This means that every request sent to your server can be validated, ensuring that it truly originated from us.
User Control: You can now view, set, and regenerate your personal secret whenever necessary. If you need to change it for any reason, simply navigate to your profile settings.
Immediate Updates: Any changes made to your personal secret take immediate effect, ensuring that you have the latest security measures in place.
Managing your personal secret is straightforward. Here’s how to do it:
To ensure that your server can trust incoming webhook requests, you’ll need to verify the X-Signature
header. We’ve provided detailed guides for verifying this signature in various programming languages, including Python, Java, PHP, and JavaScript. This way, you can implement the necessary checks seamlessly.
Ready to enhance your webhook security? Log in to your account now and navigate to your profile settings to manage your personal secret today! For technical documentation on how to use the X-Signature
