Editing a Webhook

Note: only users with the Site Administrator or Integration Administrator user role can manage webhooks.

You can edit a webhook in the Webhooks section of HotDocs Advance, accessed through the Configuration pane.

Prerequisites

  • An application endpoint to which you want to send event data
  • A token used to authenticate the request sent from Advance to your application endpoint

To edit a webhook

  1. In the Administration section, click Manage Web HooksManage webhooks
  2. From the list of web hooks, select the webhook you wish to edit.
  3. In the Details pane, click ResumeEdit.
  4. You can edit the following webhook details:
    • Name (required) – the webhook's name
    • URL (required) – the URL for the endpoint to which you want Advance to send event data
    • Authentication Method (required) – select an authentication method from the following options:
      • HMAC (default) – an HMAC code, provided by Advance; this is sent in the request form data (named "token").
      • Access token – an access token, provided by your application; this is sent in the Authorization header of the request sent to your application endpoint from Advance.
    • Event type (required) – select an event for the webhook from the following options:
      • NewWorkItemVersionComplete – sends event data when a user completes a new work item version
