In general, the payload sent by the webhooks has the following form:

...

Code Block
breakoutModewide
{"event": "document_delete", "organization": "contractfit1", "data": {"id": "5e7a0df1800de5422a6f7776"}}

document_fail

Code Block
breakoutModewide
{"event": "document_fail", "organization": "contractfit1", "data": {"id": "5e7a0df1800de5422a6f7776"}}

...

At minimum, a target url or ip address and an event for which to trigger a webhook need to be configured:

Code Block
{
  "type": "webhook",
  "events": ["document_predict"],
  "target": "http://localhost:3000/alfred/document_predict"
}

...

Optionally, authorization headers can also be configured throught the “header” field:
A custom (static) authorization (f.e. Bearer token) can be configured in the webhook, which will be sent back as header with the webhook’s POST request. This allows verification and authentication on the client’s side. For example, adding that to the example above:

Code Block
{
  "type": "webhook",
  "events": ["document_predict"],
  "target": "http://localhost:3000/alfred/document_predict",
  "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer abcdefg1234567989"}
}

Additionally, we now have Inbox specific webhooks. A recent expansion allows to specifically configure webhooks per Inbox, as well as pass this information along in the payload. The configuration for this will then look as follows:

Code Block
{
  "type": "webhook",
  "events": ["document_predict"],
  "target": "http://localhost:3000/alfred/document_predict",
  "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer abcdefg1234567989"}
  "inbox": "abcdef123456789abcdef123"
}

Retry_backoff timings

  • 0: immediately

  • 1: retry_backoff * 2^0 seconds after attempt 0, so 30 seconds later in the example

  • 2: retry_backoff* 2^1 seconds after attempt 1, so 1 minute after attempt 1 and 1'30 after initial attempt

  • 3: retry_backoff* 2^2 seconds after attempt 2, so 2 minutes after attempt 2 and 3'30 after initial attempt

  • 4: retry_backoff* 2^3 seconds after attempt 3, so 4 minutes after attempt 3 and 7'30 after initial attempt

  • 5: retry_backoff* 2^4 seconds after attempt 4, so 8 minutes after attempt 4 and 15'30 after initial attempt
