      ## How to Secure Webhook Deliveries

      To ensure that webhook payloads are securely transmitted and verified.
      This guide explains how to configure and validate

      webhook deliveries using a shared secret.


      ### How It Works


      When setting up a webhook, a secret is configured on both the sender (our
      system) and the receiver (your endpoint). Each

      webhook payload is signed using this secret, allowing the receiver to
      verify its authenticity.


      #### Step 1: Configuring Your Webhook Secret


      1. When creating a webhook in our system, specify a unique secret key.
      This secret should be a strong, randomly

      generated string.

      2. Store this secret securely on your server; it should never be exposed
      publicly.


      #### Step 2: Receiving Webhook Payloads


      When your server receives a webhook event, the request will include an
      `X-Signature` header containing a HMAC signature

      of the payload.


      Example header:


      ```

      X-Signature: sha256=abcdef1234567890...

      ```


      #### Step 3: Validating the Webhook Signature


      To verify the webhook payload:


      1. Retrieve the `X-Signature` value from the request headers.

      2. Compute the HMAC SHA-256 signature of the request payload using your
      webhook secret.

      3. Compare the computed signature with the one in the `X-Signature`
      header.

      4. If they match, the webhook is valid.


      #### (Python)


      ```python

      import hashlib

      import hmac

      import json


      def verify_webhook_signature(secret, payload, signature):
        computed_signature = hmac.new(secret.encode(), payload.encode(), hashlib.sha256).hexdigest()
        expected_signature = f"sha256={computed_signature}"
        return hmac.compare_digest(expected_signature, signature)

      # Example usage:

      secret = "your_webhook_secret"

      payload = json.dumps({"event": "example"})

      received_signature = "sha256=abcdef1234567890..."


      if verify_webhook_signature(secret, payload, received_signature):
        print("Valid webhook received!")
      else:
        print("Invalid webhook signature!")
      ```


      #### (JavaScript)


      ```javascript

      const crypto = require('crypto');


      function verifyWebhookSignature (secret, payload, signature) {

      const computedSignature = `sha256=${crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret)

      .update(payload)

      .digest('hex')}`;

      return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(computedSignature),
      Buffer.from(signature));

      }


      // Example usage:

      const secret = "your_webhook_secret";

      const payload = JSON.stringify({ event: "example" });

      const receivedSignature = "sha256=abcdef1234567890...";


      if (verifyWebhookSignature(secret, payload, receivedSignature)) {

      console.log("Valid webhook received!");

      } else {

      console.log("Invalid webhook signature!");

      }

      ```


      #### Security Considerations


      - Always use HTTPS to prevent interception of webhook payloads.

      - Reject webhook requests that fail signature validation.

      - Rotate secrets periodically to enhance security.


      By following this guide, you ensure that webhook deliveries are secure and
      trusted.
