Introduction 

A webhook is an automated message sent from one application to another via HTTP.

This extension adds the possibility to configure webhooks in TYPO3.

The backend module Administration > Integrations > Webhooks provides the possibility to configure webhooks. The module is available in the TYPO3 backend for users with administrative rights.

A webhook is defined as an authorized POST or GET request to a defined URL. For example, a webhook can be used to send a notification to a Slack channel when a new page is created in TYPO3.

Any webhook record is defined by a unique uid (UUID), a speaking name, an optional description, a trigger, the target URL, and a signing-secret. Both the unique identifier and the signing-secret are generated in the backend when a new webhook is created.

Click the copy button next to the secret field to copy the generated secret to the clipboard. The button is available until the webhook is saved. The receiving system needs the secret to verify the signature of a request.
