WebHooks

The platform also allows the use of Webhooks for certain specific events within your account. To do this, they must be enabled and configured from the Webhooks section in the account settings.

A webhook is an automatic POST action to a given URL with certain information.

To enable them, you must check the top of the page and then proceed to create all the webhooks you want.

Webhooks can be created from actions of apps, spaces, or realms. The Context type you pick defines which triggers the Trigger (Log types) selector offers you: every context has its own catalog and no trigger is available in all of them.

When creating a webhook, you must have the URL to which you want to send the information, pick the Context type, narrow the Context down to one app, space, or realm, or leave All to listen to every one of that type, select one or more triggers in Trigger (Log types), since the selector accepts several, and then save the changes.

After this, you will be able to see all active webhooks in the list.

Warning

In the version 10.1.0, realm webhooks are added for end-user events. If you were using these in previous versions, these Webhooks must be recreated within the realm.

Create an Administrative Webhook

Call your management channels through a webhook.

To create a webhook, follow these steps:

1. From the administration page, click Settings, then select Webhooks.
2. Click + New Webhook.
3. Type the name and the URL you want to call.
4. In Context type, pick App, Space, or Realm.
5. In Context, pick the app, space, or realm that will trigger the webhook, or leave All.
6. In Trigger (Log types), select one or more triggers from the catalog of the context you picked.
7. Add the necessary headers for the call.
8. Click Save.

Tip

The value in the trigger_uid column is what travels in the payload's trigger_uid field, so it is the data your endpoint uses to tell one trigger from another.

The triggers of the App context type are:

Trigger	trigger_uid
Page created	layout_page_created_log
Page deleted	layout_page_deleted_log
Page published	layout_page_published_log
Page unpublished	layout_page_unpublished_log
Page updated	layout_page_updated_log
Menu approved	menu_approved_log
Menu published	menu_published_log
Menu sent to review	menu_sent_to_review_log
Menu updated	menu_updated_log
App created	site_created_log
App deleted	site_deleted_log
App disabled	site_disabled_log
App enabled	site_enabled_log
App draft	site_draft_log
App updated	site_updated_log
Template approved	site_template_approved_log
Templates sent to review	site_template_sent_to_review_log
Template updated	site_template_updated_log
Template published	site_template_published_log
Widget approved	widget_definition_approved_log
Widget Cloned	widget_definition_cloned_log
Widget Created	widget_definition_created_log
Widget Published	widget_definition_published_log
Widget Restored	widget_definition_restored_log
Widget sent to review	widget_definition_sent_to_review_log
Widget unpublished	widget_definition_unpublished_log
Widget Updated	widget_definition_updated_log

Signing in, signing out, and profile updates are recorded in the activity, but they are not triggers of this context. If you need your end users' session events, create the webhook from the realm.

The triggers of the Space context type are:

Trigger	trigger_uid
Category created	category_created_log
Category deleted	category_deleted_log
Category updated	category_updated_log
Entry approved	entry_approved_log
Entry created	entry_created_log
Entry published	entry_published_log
Entry sent to review	entry_sent_to_review_log
Entry unpublished	entry_unpublished_log
Entry updated	entry_updated_log
Space created	space_created_log
Space updated	space_updated_log
Type created	type_created_log
Type deleted	type_deleted_log
Type updated	type_updated_log
Type sent to reindex	type_reindex_log
Reindex of type canceled	type_cancel_reindex_log
Asset created	asset_created_log
Asset updated	asset_updated_log

The triggers of the Realm context type are:

Trigger	trigger_uid
User created	user_created_log
User updated	user_updated_log
User enabled	user_enabled_log
User disabled	user_disabled_log
User deleted	user_deleted_log

Attention

These five triggers are the only ones the Realm context type offers from Settings > Webhooks, and they cover the user management your team does. They are not the same ones you see in Realm Settings > Webhooks, which listens to the realm's end-user events and does not include User disabled. If you need both groups of events, create one webhook in each place.

Create a Realm Webhook

Call your management channels through a webhook.

To create a webhook, follow these steps:

1. From a realm, click Realm Settings, then select Webhooks.
2. Click + New Webhook.
3. Type the name and the URL you want to call.
4. In Trigger (Log types), select one or more triggers from the end-user event catalog.
5. Add the necessary headers for the call.
6. Click Save.

The available triggers are the realm's 24 end-user events:

Trigger	trigger_uid	Fires when
Form response created	form_response_created_log	An end user submits a form response.
Form response updated	form_response_updated_log	An already submitted form response is updated.
Origination submission created	origination_submission_created_log	An origination submission is created.
Origination submission started	origination_submission_started_log	The end user enters the first task and the submission becomes started.
Origination submission task submitted	origination_submission_task_submitted_log	The end user submits a task of the submission with the Next button. In a code snippet with Lock responses once completed, it is also recorded when the code snippet completes the task with its POST, and in that case Next does not record it again.
Origination submission completed	origination_submission_completed_log	The submission becomes completed.
Origination submission canceled	origination_submission_canceled_log	Someone cancels the submission.
Origination submission canceled due to expiration	origination_submission_canceled_overdue_log	The platform cancels an overdue submission on its own. New in 10.2.
Origination submission task updated	origination_submission_task_updated_log	The data of a task of the submission is updated.
Origination task response started	origination_task_response_started_log	A task of the submission becomes in progress. New in 10.2.
Origination task response completed	origination_task_response_completed_log	A task of the submission becomes completed. New in 10.2.
Origination task response reopened	origination_task_response_reopened_log	An already completed task goes back to in progress. New in 10.2.
Origination task response assigned	origination_task_response_assigned_log	The assignee of a task of the submission changes. New in 10.2.
Login	user_login_log	An end user signs in.
Login with code	user_otp_login_log	An end user's code is verified successfully.
Logout	user_logout_log	An end user signs out.
Login attempt failed	user_login_attempt_failed_log	A sign-in attempt fails.
Login with code attempt failed	user_otp_login_attempt_failed_log	The submitted code cannot be verified.
User created	user_created_log	An end user is created.
User updated	user_updated_log	An end user is updated.
User enabled	user_enabled_log	An end user is enabled.
User signup	user_signup_log	An end user signs up.
User password reset	user_password_reset_log	A password reset is requested.
User deleted	user_deleted_log	An end user is deleted.

Attention

This form has no Context type or Context selectors: the webhook is always scoped to the realm you create it from. User disabled is not on this list, because it only exists in the Realm context type webhooks you create from Settings > Webhooks.

Tip

The same trigger can reach you in two shapes. When the end user performs the action from the site, the payload is compact and carries the event in e_c and e_a. When an administrator performs it from the admin panel, or the platform performs it on its own, the payload carries the full log, with trigger_uid, trigger_entity, and the event detail inside options. Keep your endpoint ready for both.

Tip

To know when a code snippet becomes completed, use Origination task response completed: it is recorded whether the task is completed with the code snippet POST or with the Next button. Origination submission task submitted is recorded when the user clicks Next, and a code snippet can complete its task without going through that button. The exception is code snippets with Lock responses once completed: if the code snippet completes the task with its POST, the event is recorded at that moment and Next does not record it again. See Completing the task from the code snippet.

These are the payload examples of the origination triggers:

}

The origination task response started, reopened, and assigned triggers use the same shape, with e_a set to started_log, reopened_log, or assigned_log, and task_uid tells you which task of the origination the event belongs to.

Enable or disable a webhook

Each webhook has the Enabled switch in its form. A disabled webhook stops sending notifications:

• Its deliveries in Pending or Scheduled status become Canceled, with the reason The webhook was disabled.
• Events that happen while it's disabled don't generate deliveries, so they can't be redelivered later.
• Its deliveries can't be redelivered until you enable it again.

When you enable it again, the canceled deliveries aren't sent on their own: if you need them, redeliver them.

The Status column of the webhook list shows whether each one is Active, Disabled, or Degraded.

Test a webhook

In the webhook actions, in the list, click Send test notification. The platform sends a single POST to the webhook URL with dummy data of the first configured trigger and with the same headers as a real delivery, and shows you the result:

• If your endpoint answers with a 2xx code, you see Test notification sent.
• If it answers with another code, you see The endpoint answered with HTTP status followed by the code, and if the communication fails, the reason, for example The endpoint did not answer in time.

The test notification isn't recorded in the delivery log, carries a different webhook-id on each test, and is sent even if the webhook is disabled.

Notification delivery

Modyo sends each notification at least once: if your endpoint doesn't receive it, Modyo retries it, so the same notification can reach you more than once. Each delivery carries a stable identifier so your endpoint processes it only once.

Headers of each delivery

Besides the headers you configured in the webhook, each POST carries these headers:

Header	Value
webhook-id	Unique identifier of the delivery. It's the same across all its retries and when it's redelivered, and it's different for each webhook subscribed to the same event.
webhook-timestamp	Time of the attempt, in Unix seconds. It isn't the date of the event.
modyo-event-type	The trigger_uid of the trigger, for example entry_published_log.
modyo-attempt	Attempt number. It doesn't go back to 1 when a delivery is redelivered: it keeps counting from the attempts already made.
content-type	Always application/json.
user-agent	Modyo-Webhooks/1.0, unless you configure your own User-Agent in the webhook.

webhook-id: 4f9c2b1e-7d3a-4b8e-9a61-2c5e8f0d1a7b
webhook-timestamp: 1760620800
modyo-event-type: entry_published_log
modyo-attempt: 1
content-type: application/json
user-agent: Modyo-Webhooks/1.0

The webhook- and modyo- prefixes are reserved for these headers, so you can't use them in the names of the headers you add to the webhook. If the webhook URL includes a user and password, for example https://user:password@my-domain.com/webhooks, Modyo sends them in the Authorization header with basic authentication.

Notifications aren't signed. To have your endpoint reject calls that don't come from Modyo, add a header with a secret value to the webhook and validate it on every call.

Your endpoint's response and retries

Your endpoint has about 5 seconds to answer. The delivery succeeds with any 2xx code, and the result of each attempt defines what happens next:

• It's retried: if the endpoint answers with a 5xx, 408, or 429 code, if it doesn't answer in time, or if the connection, the host resolution, or the secure connection fails.
• It isn't retried: if the endpoint answers with a 3xx code, because redirects aren't followed, or with any other 4xx code. Nor if the webhook URL or one of its headers isn't valid. The delivery becomes Failed.

By default, Modyo makes up to 7 attempts: the first one as soon as the event happens, and the retries after waits of about 5 seconds, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours, 5 hours, and 10 hours, with a small random variation. If your endpoint answers 408 or 429 with the Retry-After header, Modyo waits as indicated, up to 10 hours. If the attempts run out, the delivery becomes Exhausted and you can redeliver it.

Each attempt uses the current URL and headers of the webhook, so if you fix them, the pending retries already go out with the new configuration. The notification body is built again on each attempt from the event and keeps the same shape as the payload examples.

Process each delivery only once

To avoid processing the same notification twice:

• Store the webhook-id of each notification you process with a unique index and discard the ones you already have.
• Don't use modyo-attempt or webhook-timestamp as part of that key, because they change on each attempt.
• Don't compare the full body: the same delivery can arrive with different bytes between attempts if the way the event is serialized changed.
• Store the notification and its webhook-id durably, for example in your database or in a durable queue, answer with a 2xx code, and process it afterwards. That way you don't exceed the timeout or cause unnecessary retries. If you couldn't store it, answer with a 5xx code so Modyo retries it: once you answer 2xx, the delivery becomes Delivered and isn't sent again.

Event order

Modyo doesn't guarantee the order of notifications: a retry can arrive after a notification of a more recent event. If order matters and the payload carries the full log, use its created_at. The compact payload of end-user events, with e_c and e_a, doesn't carry the event date, so your endpoint must tolerate those events arriving out of order. webhook-timestamp doesn't help with ordering either, because it indicates the time of the attempt, not of the event.

Delivery log

Each time an event triggers an enabled webhook, a delivery is recorded. In the webhook list, click View deliveries in the webhook actions to open the Deliveries page, with the Status, Event, Attempts, Last result, Created, and Next attempt columns. You can filter by Status and by creation date, which shows the last week by default.

With Delivery detail you see the webhook-id, with a button to copy it, the event, the attempts, the last HTTP status, the last error, the duration of the attempt, the response body of your endpoint, and the payload sent.

Finished deliveries are kept for 30 days from their last change by default, and the response body of your endpoint, for 7 days.

To see deliveries you need permission to view webhooks, and to redeliver them, the Admin Webhooks grouped permission. Deliveries are also available in the administration API, under /api/admin/webhooks/{webhook_id}/deliveries for account webhooks and /api/admin/customers/{realm_uid}/webhooks/{webhook_id}/deliveries for realm webhooks.

Delivery statuses

• Pending: The delivery is waiting to be sent.
• In flight: Modyo is sending the notification.
• Scheduled: An attempt failed and the delivery is waiting for its next retry. The Next attempt column shows when.
• Delivered: Your endpoint answered with a 2xx code.
• Failed: Your endpoint answered with an error that isn't retried, or the webhook URL or one of its headers isn't valid.
• Exhausted: All attempts were made without success.
• Unrecoverable: The event or its payload no longer exists, so the delivery can't be redelivered.
• Canceled: The webhook was disabled or deleted before the delivery was completed.

Redeliver deliveries

Redelivering a delivery sends it again to the current URL of the webhook, with the same webhook-id, and gives it the full retry schedule again. The webhook must be enabled.

• One delivery: Click Redeliver on a Delivered, Failed, Exhausted, or Canceled delivery and confirm.
• Several deliveries: Select them, or select all the ones that match the filters, and use Redeliver in bulk. Only Failed, Exhausted, or Canceled deliveries are redelivered, up to 1000 at a time by default and at a rate of 60 per minute.

Each redelivery is recorded in the activity as Webhook redelivered, and the delivery detail shows when and who redelivered it.

Degraded webhooks

If a webhook accumulates 5 Exhausted deliveries without any successful delivery in between, it becomes Degraded. The webhook list shows it with that label and the date since it's been degraded, and the Deliveries page shows a notice.

A degraded webhook still sends the first attempt of each event, but retries only once, about 10 hours later. It goes back to normal as soon as a delivery succeeds or when you make a bulk redelivery. Modyo never disables a webhook because of its failures: fix the endpoint and redeliver the failed deliveries.
