Security

  • Webhook payloads include HMAC signatures for verification
  • OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest
  • Credentials are scoped per organization
  • Revoke access anytime from integration settings

Troubleshooting

  • Verify the integration is enabled for the specific form
  • Check that the selected events match your expected triggers
  • Review the integration logs for errors
  • Confirm the form is published — draft forms do not fire integration events ::
Advanced: Custom Webhook Headers

You can add custom HTTP headers to webhook requests for authentication with your backend. Go to the webhook configuration and add key-value pairs under Custom Headers. Common uses include passing API keys or correlation tokens to your receiving service.
