Server-to-Server Webhooks

This guide describes how to add and configure custom server-to-server webhook.

📘

Note

Server-to-server webhooks is a premium feature and available on Launch and Grow plans.

Apphud's webhook system for subscriptions allows you to catch the moment when a subscription event occurs. You can use this data to implement custom logic or analytics on your own server. You simply need to specify a URL for POST-request.

Webhooks are being sent as POST request to specified URL.

How to Add Webhook?

Step 1

At Apphud go to the "Integrations" section, click S2S webhooks add click New webhook:

Step 2

Enter webhook name and specify webhook URL. Events will be sent to this URL using POST-request:

Step 3

You may optionally specify Secret token that will be sent with the webhook request in the X-Apphud-Token HTTP header. Use this token to validate received payloads.

Step 4

Choose which between Production and Sandbox events to be sent via webhook:

Step 5

Enable events which you would like to receive webhooks for:

Step 6

Enable and save the integration:

❗️

Important Note

Apphud sends only one request per webhook without retries.

How to Test Webhook

You can test webhooks using any service that may receive HTTP events, for example, RequestBin.com.

Step 2

Copy Endpoint URL:

Step 3

Create new Webhook in Apphud using this URL. Make sure you selected "Sandbox" environment while configuring webhook.

Step 4

Make a test purchase on your device using Sandbox environment. You can read how to do this here. Now whenever webhook is triggered, you will see a full report on RequestBin:
