App Hooks

App hooks are outbound connections to your app and your customers. There are two types of App hooks: webhooks (HTTP POSTs) and outbound emails.

Email hooks

Email hooks can only be configured for user.* event types. Email hooks are silently skipped for users who do not have an email address.

Webhooks

Outbound webhooks carry the same payload as responses from the Get an Event API call.

Fields

FieldValueReq/DefaultNotes
id id Auto-generated

App hook ID. Always starts with “hk_”. Example: hk_USwTRKQljEFpHF8ac6dbE

state active,

webhook
event_type array Required Events that will trigger this hook.
realm_id realm_id null (all realms) Limit events to resources within this Realm ID.
delay integer 0 Delay of initial notification attempt; in seconds.
request hash

Hash of request attributes to add to Event. See notes.

webhook only:

destination url Required Target URL for HTTP POST.

email only:

How email_template is interpreted. See below.

email_subject string Required "Subject" for email.
email_template string Required Body of email. See below.
email_to email If present, override "To" to this address. Useful for testing.
user_type all,
human,
api
all

Which user_type’s should receive emails.

Event types

For email hooks, event_type must be an array of exactly one event type. Only user. types are supported.

For webhooks, event_type is an array of zero or more event types. An empty array is equivalent to all events, including any new event types added in the future.

Valid event types:

app_hook.created app_hook.deleted app_hook.updated auth_provider.created auth_provider.deleted auth_provider.updated login_policy.created login_policy.deleted login_policy.updated membership.created membership.deleted membership.updated org.created org.deleted org.updated realm.created realm.deleted realm.updated user.created user.deleted user.email.verification_requested user.email.verified user.login.failed user.login.initiated user.login.succeeded user.password_token.consumed user.password_token.created user.password_token.failed user.updated

Email renderers

email_renderer determines how email_template is used to create the email.

  • htmlemail_template treated as complete HTML body. No text version included.

  • html+text – Same as html, except a text version will also be automated created from the HTML version.

  • markdown (Recommended) – email_template treated as Markdown and rendered into both HTML and text. HTML version will sport a basic, clean HTML theme.

  • textemail_template treated as text. No HTML version included.

Email templates

Available variables for substitution:
{{email}} {{event_at}} {{first_name}} {{full_name}} {{ip}} {{realm_name}} {{token}} {{url}} {{username}}

Variable substitution works for all email_renderer types.
