Authentication

Webhooks

If the system receiving and processing webhook events (at the Payload URL) requires an authentication token, you can enter it into the Secret field when configuring webhooks in the Mindful UI.

  • Anything entered in the Secret field will be passed in the Authorization header of webhook messages exactly as it appears in the field. You can use this to validate that the messages came from Mindful.

  • If Basic Authentication is required on the receiving end, you can enter "Basic <auth value>" into the Secret field to provide the required credentials in the Authorization header.
