### Creating the webhook

Follow these steps to configure an Apono webhook:

1. On the [**Webhooks**](https://app.apono.io/webhooks) page, click **Add Webhook**. The **Add Webhook** page appears.
2. Click **Request Webhook**.
3. Enter a unique, alphanumeric, user-friendly **Request Webhook Name** for identifying this webhook.
4. Click the **Status** toggle to **Active**.
5. From the **Method** dropdown menu, select **POST**.
6. In the **URL** field, enter *https\://\<INCOMING\_WEBHOOK\_URL>?title=json(title)*.\
   \
   Be sure to replace the `<INCOMING_WEBHOOK_URL>` placeholder.

{% hint style="warning" %}
The webhook URL **must adhere** to the following requirements:

* Uses the HTTPS protocol
* Does **not** specify any custom ports
  {% endhint %}

7. In the **Body Template** field, construct a JSON body for the webhook payload.

```json
{
   "title":"Apono - New {{event_type}} made by {{data.requester.name}}",
   "message": {
      "shortMessage": "{ "event_type": "{{ event_type }}", "event_time": "{{ event_time }}", "id": "{{ data.id }}", "friendly_id": "{{ data.friendly_id }}", "requester_id": "{{ data.requester.id }}", "requester_name": "{{ data.requester.name }}", "requester_email": "{{ data.requester.email }}", "justification": "{{ data.justification }}", "creation_date": "{{ data.creation_date }}", "access_flow_id": "{{ data.access_flow.id }}", "access_flow_name": "{{ data.access_flow.name }}", "access_bundle_id": "{{ data.access_bundle.id }}", "access_bundle_name": "{{ data.access_bundle.id }}", "access_groups_integration_name": "{{ data.access_groups.[0].integration.name }}", "access_groups_integration_type": "{{ data.access_groups.[0].integration.type }} "}"
      }
}
```

{% hint style="success" %}
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](/docs/webhook-integrations/webhook-payload-references/webhook-payload-schema-reference.md) to read the descriptions of each data field.
{% endhint %}

8. Under **Headers**, use the following **Key** and **Value** to set the header. Be sure to replace the `<INCOMING_WEBHOOK_TOKEN>` placeholder.

| Key             | Value                                |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| *Authorization* | *Bearer \<INCOMING\_WEBHOOK\_TOKEN>* |

9. From the **Triggers** dropdown menu, select one or more of the following event triggers, which correspond to Apono access request statuses:
   * **RequestCreated**
   * **RequestApproved**
   * **RequestExpired**
   * **RequestFailed**
   * **RequestGranted**
   * **RequestRejected**
10. Under **Filters**, define one or several filter from the listed dropdown menus.

{% hint style="info" %}
Filters empower admins to control the data transmitted via webhooks, minimizing the amount of data third-party tools receive and reducing unnecessary clutter.

**Examples**:

* Send only production requests to your admins' Slack channel.
* Trigger Okta workflows for events from specific integrations or resource types.
* Open a ticket in Jira or ServiceNow for manually approved requests.
  {% endhint %}

11. (Optional) In the **Timeout in seconds** field, enter the duration in seconds to wait before marking the request as failed.
12. (Optional) Define **Response Validators** to verify that the response from the webhook meets specified criteria:
    1. Click **+ Add**. A row of settings appears.
    2. Starting with *$.data.*, enter the **Json Path** of the JSON parameter.
    3. In the **Expected Values** field, enter a value and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
    4. Repeat step **c** to add several expected values.
    5. Repeat steps **a-d** to add multiple response validators.
13. 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 mock data to the target system.

{% hint style="info" %}
For more information about the test, click **View Invocation Data**. A panel opens revealing the request, response, and other relevant details.

Should your test fail, view these tips to [troubleshoot your webhook](/docs/webhook-integrations/troubleshoot-a-webhook.md).
{% endhint %}

14. Click **Save Webhook**.

The new webhook appears in the Webhooks table. Active webhooks are preceded by a green dot. Inactive webhooks are preceded by a white dot.

Apono access request logs will be sent to Grafana based on the triggers you have selected.

***

### Results

Your webhook should now start creating new incidents to Grafana once triggered:
