Webhooks

Webhooks allow Media Manager to send information to your own application or service when the state of a video changes.

Creating Webhooks

You can specify a URL to call from your team settings page. Once a webhook has been added you can reveal the webhook secret that we have generated for you. We will sign every request with this secret allowing you to check the request is valid and comes from us.

The endpoint should return a 2xx response status to be considered successful. Media Manager will try sending the same call 2 more times before stopping if no success status was returned. A webhook will result in a failure if the server does not respond within 3 seconds.

Verifying webhooks

To ensure that the webhook data is genuine, it is recommended to verify the request by checking the signature generated by Media Manager and sent as a HTTP header in each webform request.

Logic to do this is provided as PHP code in the “Reveal Secret” pop-up:

Disabling Webhooks

To temporarily enable or disable a webhook, simply toggle the enabled switch.

Deleting Webhooks

An option to delete each webhook is available in the webhooks list:
