With PactSafe, you can setup Webhooks to notify any third party system of major events that you can configure through Integrations. If you don't have Integrations enabled in your account, please contact [email protected] and we'll help you out!

Here's a view of how Webhooks are managed from within the PactSafe interface.

Should I do HTTP GET or POST?

Up to you. We will pass parameters for the Webhook as Querystring variables in GET and the request body with POST. The examples for this Guide are POST.

What's the "Secret Code"?

The secret code allows you to create a more secure connection to the Webhook. We'll pass the secret code in an HTTP Header called Pactsafe-Webhook-Token.

Example Payloads

There are 6 types of events you can configure for when setting up webhooks. Each event has some common properties and some properties unique to the Webhook. We'll outline an example payload for each Webhook below.

Test Webhook

The requestbin.com URLs below can be generated from RequestBin.com. You can use the service to create a free HTTPS endpoint. Any HTTP requests sent to that endpoint will be recorded with the associated payload and headers so you can observe the data sent from our webhooks before configuring your application to accept it.

Here's the payload for an example of the test:

Activity (Agreed)

This Webhook will only fire when an agreed Actvity has been processed. agreed Activities are fired when a user clicks "Agree" inside a Request or checks a box as part of a click-through agreement.

Note: Information rendered on the agreement is processed as render_data and fields filled in a contract are fields. Also please note that render_data and fields are only passed on POST requests because of the potential size they make the payload.

This hook is the same as above:
