Add an extra layer of security to your webhook events.
To prevent unauthorised users from posting content to your webhook, customers can enable adding an Authorization header to the requests sent through the Railz Dashboard.
To enable additional security for your webhooks:
- Open the Railz Dashboard™ and log in.
- In the left sidebar navigation menu, go to Developers > Webhooks.
- Expand the Authorization Header menu.
- Select the Bearer and enter the required information. By default, No Authorization is selected.
Enable Authorization header for webhooks. Click to Expand.
Bearer Authorization
Railz supports Bearer tokens as an Authorization header in webhook responses.
You will need to provide us with a public API endpoint that accepts Basic authentication using a username and password.
