Click the Status toggle to Active.
From the Method dropdown menu, select POST.
For the webhook URL, enter https://<host>:<port>/services/collector.
In the Body Template field, construct a JSON body for the webhook payload.
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.
For Headers, enter the following authorization headers: Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>
From the Triggers dropdown menu, select one or more of the following event triggers, which correspond to Apono access request statuses:

Approved
Rejected

Expired
Failed
Under Filters, define one or several filter from the listed dropdown menus.
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.
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.
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.
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 events will be sent Splunk based on the triggers you have selected.
