Webhooks

Webhooks in Directify

Webhooks allow you to receive real-time notifications when events occur in your Directify account. When an event occurs, we'll send an HTTP POST request to the URL you specify.

Security

Each webhook request includes a signature in the X-Directify-Signature header. You should verify this signature to ensure the request came from Directify.

Verifying Signatures

Here's how to verify the signature:

// PHP example
$payload = file_get_contents('php://input');
$signature = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_DIRECTIFY_SIGNATURE'];
$secret = 'your_webhook_secret';

$calculatedSignature = hash_hmac('sha256', $payload, $secret);

if (hash_equals($calculatedSignature, $signature)) {
    // Signature is valid
} else {
    // Signature is invalid
}

Request Format

All webhook requests are sent as HTTP POST requests with a JSON payload. The following headers are included:

• Content-Type: application/json
• X-Directify-Signature: HMAC SHA-256 signature
• X-Directify-Event: The name of the event (e.g., project.created)

Payload Format

The payload includes the following fields:

Best Practices

• Always verify the signature of incoming webhook requests
• Implement idempotency to handle duplicate webhook deliveries
• Respond quickly to webhook requests (within 5 seconds)
• Implement proper error handling for webhook processing
