Webhooks
Abound has comprehensive webhook support ensuring your system can stay in sync with activity across our entire 1099 automation platform.
Webhooks fire by sending a POST
request to the URL you register after a subscribed event occurs. For added rigidity, webhooks will fire up to 3 times if your webhook URL returns a 4xx or 5xx server code.
Webhook events fire regardless of where the event originates. For example, this means a TIN_VERIFICATION_CREATED
webhook could fire as a result of any of the following actions:
- CSV data upload from within the Abound Dashboard
- End-user submitting information in a Drop-In Component
- A tin verification request directly to the Abound API
Registering a webhook
To register a webhook url and subscribe to specific events go to the Webhook page in the Abound Dashboard.
You will be able to give your webhook a nickname and control if its enabled or disabled.
Register as many webhook URLs as you need.
Webhook payloads
The body of each webhook POST
call will have the following format:
{
"id": "webhookLogId_sample4RMH0Ly5DQ",
"webhookId": "webhookId_samplexGCArf0Tcv",
"timestamp": "2023-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
"event": "W_9_CREATED",
"resourceId": "documentId_sampleVppNzzIbQT",
"resourceUrl":"https://sandbox-api.withabound.com/v4/documents/w-9/documentId_sampleVppNzzIbQT"
}
Validating webhooks
Included in every webhook POST
call is the Abound-Signature
header which contains a SHA-256 HMAC hash that can be used to validate the data has originated from Abound.
Below are examples on how to validate a webhook:
const {
createHmac
} = await import('crypto');
// Header containing webhook signature
const sigHeader = event.headers['Abound-Signature'];
// Raw body of received request
const rawBody = event.body;
const hmac = createHmac('sha256', 'YOUR_APP_SECRET');
hmac.update(event.body);
const sigGenerated = hmac.digest('hex');
// Returns true if match
return sigGenerated === sigHeader
import hmac
import hashlib
## Header containing webhook signature
sig_header = request.headers.get("Abound-Signature")
## Raw body of received request
raw_body = request.get_data(parse_form_data=True)
digest = hmac.new(
key="YOUR_APP_SECRET".encode("utf-8"),
msg=raw_body.encode(),
digestmod=hashlib.sha256,
).hexdigest()
## Returns true if match
return digest == sig_header
package main
import (
"crypto/hmac"
"crypto/sha256"
"encoding/hex"
"fmt"
)
func main() {
// Header containing webhook signature
sig_header:= r.Header.Get("Abound-Signature")
// Raw body of received request
raw_body := r.Body
hmacVal := hmac.New(sha256.New,[]byte("YOUR_API_KEY"))
hmacVal.Write([]byte(raw_body))
sigGenerated := hex.EncodeToString(hmacVal.Sum(nil))
// Returns true if match
fmt.Println( hmac.Equal([]byte(sigGenerated), []byte(sig_header)))
}
require 'openssl'
## Header containing webhook signature
sig_header = request.headers.get("Abound-Signature")
## Raw body of received request
raw_body = request.body
hmac = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest("SHA256", 'YOUR_API_KEY', raw_body)
## Returns true if match
return hmac == sig_header
