Prerequisites

2. In the environment navigation, select Automations.
3. Select New Automation.
4. Enter a name and choose whether the automation is enabled when you save it.
5. Select an event.
6. Select a destination, then select Save Changes.

​

Configure a destination

1. Select Add Destination.
2. Enter a name and your Webhook URL.
3. Optionally enter a Signing secret.
4. Select Save Changes, then choose the destination for your automation.

​

Verify webhook requests

import crypto from 'node:crypto';

const signature = request.headers['x-hub-signature'];
const payload = request.rawBody;
const expected = crypto
  .createHmac('sha1', process.env.HOTGLUE_WEBHOOK_SECRET)
  .update(payload)
  .digest('hex');

const isValid =
  signature &&
  signature.length === expected.length &&
  crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signature), Buffer.from(expected));

if (!isValid) {
  throw new Error('Invalid Hotglue webhook signature');
}
