About
A webhook is used to inject messages into the Security Flow Flows engine using an HTTP operation from an external source, such as a script or external tool. Many products and services can be configured to perform a webhook call out into Security Flow. The following list is a small sampling of products with webhook support. These allow for immediate support of external products or services which can be used to trigger actions within the Security Flow Flows engine.
- SumoLogic: Set Up Webhook Connections
- Spluk: Use a webhook alert action
- Atlassian Jira: Webhooks
Configuration
The Nevelex Labs Security Flow system is configured with a default webhook username and password for basic authorization. As a recommended practice, change the username and password via the settings screen.
| Setting | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| User Name | webhook | The basic auth username. This is a configurable parameter on the settings screen. |
| Password | AllowRequest | The basic auth password. This is a configurable parameter on the settings screen. It is required that you change this password. |
| Additional Request Header | X-SF-API-Caller | Use any meaningful value for the header. Use inject as a reasonable default value. |
Example
Import the Webhook Echo Sample from the Flows Library for an example.
The following example curl command shows how to use a curl command to send a webhook request into the flow.
curl -X POST -H "X-SF-API-Caller: inject;" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://[sfHostName]/webhook/sample/ --user webhook -d '{"test":"This is my sample message."}'
