Webhook configuration fields

  • type: document

  • includeDrafts: A boolean which allows webhooks to be processed for drafts. Default: false
  • httpMethod (one of GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE; defaults to POST). HTTP method with which payload will be delivered. Note that a body that is same as projection is sent in all the methods. (Note: Transaction-based webhooks always use POST method.)
  • headers: Supported only for document-based webhooks. A object of key-value pair (string-string) which define static headers that will be sent as request headers by delivery system to remote URL.
  • filter: An object with keys always, create, update and delete (mutation types) defining delta-groq filters.
  • projection: An object with keys create, update and delete (mutation types) defining delta-groq projections. Request body to remote host is strictly set to projection.

  • secret: Secret for signature. See below.
