Webhooks

Create a Webhook

Changed on

Create a Webhook to receive webhook events for specified entities (e.g., transfer, merchant) to a URL provided by you. When an enabled event occurs, Finix sends a POST request to this URL with the webhook event payload.

{% admonition type="info" %} The response includes a secret_signing_key. Store this value securely. It is used to verify that incoming payloads were sent by Finix. {% /admonition %}

Authentication

Set authentication.type to control how Finix authenticates requests to your endpoint:

  • NONE (default) — No authentication header is sent
  • BASIC — Provide authentication.basic.username and authentication.basic.password
  • BEARER — Provide authentication.bearer.token

To learn how to add webhook authentication, see Creating Authenticated Webhooks.

Event Filtering

By default, a new Webhook subscribes to a standard set of events. Include enabled_events to override the default set of events and receive only specific entity/type combinations. See Webhook Events for supported entities and event types.
