How Webhooks Work

Event Notifications

When an event occurs, DirectoryEasy sends a POST request to your endpoint with:JSON Payload: Contains event details and dataRequest Signature: Each request includes a signature (X-DirectoryEasy-Signature) to verify authenticityYou can use this signature to confirm the request came from DirectoryEasy.

​
Best Practices

Verify the signature of incoming requests using your webhook secret.This ensures the request is legitimate and from DirectoryEasy.
Implement idempotency to handle duplicates.Process each webhook event only once, even if received multiple times.
Respond quickly (within 5 seconds).Return a 200 OK response as soon as possible to acknowledge receipt.
Use HTTPS for your endpoint.Secure endpoints protect your data and are required for webhooks.
