Webhook Integration

Integrate AINexLayer with external systems using webhooks for real-time event notifications and automated workflows.

Overview

Webhooks allow AINexLayer to send real-time notifications to your applications when specific events occur. This enables you to build automated workflows, integrate with external systems, and respond to platform events in real-time.

Webhook Concepts

What are Webhooks?

• Event-Driven: Triggered by specific events in AINexLayer

• Real-Time: Immediate notification when events occur

• HTTP POST: Send data to your application endpoint

• Retry Logic: Automatic retry for failed deliveries

• Security: Signed payloads for verification

Webhook Flow

1. Event Occurs: User action triggers an event

2. Webhook Triggered: AINexLayer identifies registered webhooks

3. HTTP Request: POST request sent to your endpoint

4. Response Required: Your endpoint must respond with 2xx status

5. Retry on Failure: Failed deliveries are retried automatically

Supported Events

Document Events

• document.uploaded - Document uploaded to workspace

• document.processed - Document processing completed

• document.failed - Document processing failed

• document.deleted - Document deleted from workspace

• document.updated - Document metadata updated

Chat Events

• chat.message - New chat message sent

• chat.conversation.started - New conversation started

• chat.conversation.ended - Conversation ended

• chat.response.generated - AI response generated

Workspace Events

• workspace.created - New workspace created

• workspace.updated - Workspace settings updated

• workspace.deleted - Workspace deleted

• workspace.user.added - User added to workspace

• workspace.user.removed - User removed from workspace

User Events

• user.created - New user registered

• user.updated - User profile updated

• user.deleted - User account deleted

• user.login - User logged in

• user.logout - User logged out

Webhook Configuration

Create Webhook

Request Body:

Response:

Query Parameters:

• page (optional): Page number

• limit (optional): Items per page

• active (optional): Filter by active status

Signature Verification

AINexLayer signs webhook payloads using HMAC-SHA256. Verify the signature to ensure the webhook is from AINexLayer.

Webhook Implementation

Webhook Delivery Logs

Query Parameters:

• page (optional): Page number

• limit (optional): Items per page

• status (optional): Filter by delivery status

Best Practices

Webhook Endpoint Design

• Idempotency: Handle duplicate webhook deliveries

• Timeout: Respond within 30 seconds

• Status Codes: Return appropriate HTTP status codes

• Logging: Log all webhook events for debugging

• Error Handling: Handle errors gracefully

Security

• Signature Verification: Always verify webhook signatures

• HTTPS: Use HTTPS for webhook endpoints

• Secret Management: Store webhook secrets securely

• Rate Limiting: Implement rate limiting on webhook endpoints

• Access Control: Restrict access to webhook endpoints

Performance

• Async Processing: Process webhooks asynchronously

• Queue System: Use message queues for high-volume webhooks

• Monitoring: Monitor webhook delivery success rates

• Retry Logic: Implement retry logic for failed processing

• Scaling: Scale webhook processing based on load

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Webhook Not Receiving Events

• Check webhook URL is accessible

• Verify webhook is active

• Check event subscriptions

• Review webhook delivery logs

Signature Verification Fails

• Verify webhook secret is correct

• Check payload format

• Ensure signature header is present

• Review signature generation logic

Webhook Timeouts

• Optimize webhook processing

• Increase timeout settings

• Use async processing

• Monitor response times

Debugging Tools

• Delivery Logs: Review webhook delivery logs

• Test Endpoint: Use test endpoint to verify webhook

• Signature Verification: Test signature verification

• Event Filtering: Check event subscriptions
