    {
        "fields":{
            "event type": "{{event_type}}",
            "event time": "{{event_time}}",
            "requestor email": "{{data.requester.email}}",
            "integration name": "{{data.access_groups.[0].[integration].name}}",

    💡

    Click View event's payload schema to reveal the payload schema and available data fields. You can also refer to the Webhook Payload Schema Reference to read the descriptions of each data field.


  1. (Optional) Under Headers, use the following Key and Value value to set the header. You set the clientToken as a header value instead of passing it in the Invoke URL in step 5.

    Be sure to replace the <CLIENT_TOKEN> placeholder.

    KeyValue
    x-api-client-token<CLIENT_TOKEN>

  1. From the Triggers dropdown menu, select one or more of the following event triggers, which correspond to Apono access request statuses:
    • RequestCreated
    • RequestApproved
    • RequestRejected
    • RequestGranted
    • RequestExpired
    • RequestFailed
    • Manual
  2. Under Filters, define one or several filter from the listed dropdown menus.
  3. Click Test to generate a test event to trigger your webhook. A Test successful or Test failed response status will appear at the bottom of the page. A successful test will send a mock event to Okta Workflows.

    For more information about the test, click View Invocation Data. A panel opens revealing the request, response, and other relevant details.
