Configuring External Systems

When setting up a webhook in an external system, you need:

Setting	Value
URL	`https://inspire.yourcompany.com/api/webhook/{stream}`
Method	POST
Content-Type	application/json
Authentication	Bearer token — your Inspire `ik_<key_id>_<secret>` ingest credential

Signature Verification

Connectors can optionally require HMAC-SHA256 signature verification by configuring a Webhook Signing Key. When set, every request must include:

Header	Description
`X-Webhook-Signature`	`sha256=<hex>` — HMAC-SHA256 of `timestamp.body`
`X-Webhook-Timestamp`	Unix epoch seconds (must be within 5 minutes of server time)

For full details, signing examples, and code samples, see Signature Verification in Data Connectivity.

Common Integrations

System	Webhook Support
GitHub	Repository events, CI/CD status
Slack	Slash commands, event subscriptions
Zapier	Any Zapier-supported trigger
Microsoft Power Automate	HTTP action
IFTTT	Webhooks service
Jira	Issue events
PagerDuty	Incident events

Each of these systems can POST JSON data to your Inspire webhook endpoint. Configure the authentication header with your ingest key.
