What's new

  • Webhooks. A new Webhooks tab under Settings > Profile and terms lets an Administrator who manages integrations add HTTPS endpoints, each under an API Credential, and choose the event types each receives. Backed sends every event as a short, signed message naming the record that changed, and your system reads the detail through the API. See Webhooks.
  • Signed, with a secret shown once. Each endpoint has a signing secret, shown once when it is created, and every delivery carries a Backed-Signature header your system can check. Roll Secret issues a new one, and both secrets sign for 24 hours while you switch over.
  • An event catalogue. The Event catalogue page lists every event type with its version, a description and a sample payload.
  • A delivery log, replay and test events. Each endpoint's page lists its deliveries from the last 30 days, with Replay to send one again and Send Test to check the connection. Failed deliveries are retried over 24 hours, and an endpoint that fails 50 times in a row is disabled and the Administrators who manage integrations are emailed.
