/createWebhook: Create Webhook

  • URL:https://[root]/portals/[portalID]/webhooks/createWebhook(POST only)
  • Version Introduced:10.7

Example usage

The following is a sample ArcGIS Enterprise POST request for the createWebhook operation that subscribes to all trigger events (allChanges):


POST /webadaptor/sharing/rest/portals/0123456789ABCDEF/webhooks/createWebhook HTTP/1.1
Host: machine.domain.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: []

name=Microsoft Flow&url=https://app.logic.azure.com:443/workflows/b688528a36e246279dc050f936e5ebd4/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?api-version=2016-06-01&sp=%2Ftriggers%2Fmanual%2Frun&sv=1.0&sig=nHP-LBo9x-nSgMi11DSDuwRIUiJr-8yKGCy7OYaT_ow&secret=&config={"deactivationPolicy":{"numberOfFailures":5,"daysInPast":5}}&changes=allChanges&f=pjson

Description

The createWebhook operation allows portal administrators to create a new organization webhook. Administrators will specify the trigger events for this webhook, and the URL to which payloads are delivered when the webhook is invoked. For additional security, the secret parameter can be used to send a specific string that can be verified by the application listening on the payload URL. During the operation, the payload URL will be queried to confirm a connection to the portal is successful.

Request parameters

ParameterDetails
name

(Required)

Specifies the webhook's name.

Example

name=Microsoft Flow
url

(Required)

Identifies the payload URL.

Note:

The payload URL is not required when configuring a webhook for notebooks, as the system will automatically derive it.

Example

url=https://app.logic.azure.com:443/workflows/b688528a36e246279dc050f936e5ebd4/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?api-version=2016-06-01&sp=%2Ftriggers%2Fmanual%2Frun&sv=1.0&sig=nHP-LBo9x-nSgMi11DSDuwRIUiJr-8yKGCy7OYaT_ow
secret

(Optional)

A user-defined element that can be added to the payload to help authenticate the message on your receiver. When used, the secret will be added to the header of the webhook payload. The application receiver will use the secret value in the payload's header to help authenticate the message.

Example

secret=123456789ABCDE
config

(Optional)

Sets the configuration properties for your webhook.

Note:

The payload URL is not required when configuring a webhook for notebooks, as the system will automatically derive it.

Example without properties:

config={
 "deactivationPolicy":{"numberOfFailures": 5,"daysInPast": 5}}

Notebook example with properties:


config={
"deactivationPolicy": {"numberOfFailures": 5,"daysInPast": 5},
"properties": {
  "federatedServer": {
			"itemId": "<Notebook item id to be executed>",
			"tokenTypeToSend": "owner",
			"tokenExpirationTimeMinutes": 10}}
}
changes

(Required)

If manual is specified, the events parameter will need to be included in the request. Selecting allChanges will cause all possible events to trigger the webhook. The default value is manualChanges.

Values: manualChanges | allChanges

events

(Optional)

This parameter is required if changes is specified as manual. The URI representation of an event that will trigger the webhook. For more information, see the Supported trigger events section below. For additional examples of trigger events, see the Trigger events section below.

Example

events=/items,/users
f

The response format. The default format is html.

Values: html | json | pjson

Supported trigger events

The events parameter can be used to manually define the events that will trigger the webhook. Trigger events are divided into four broad categories:

Items

The item properties that can be updated vary between item types, and there are unique actions that trigger the /update operation. For example, if the item is a web map, updating the tag, configuring a pop-up, or changing the basemap are all update events that will trigger the webhook.

The following table lists the trigger events for supported portal items, which include web maps, web apps, layers, packages, and PDF documents:

Trigger events

When creating your webhook, you are subscribing to the trigger events you specified during creation. The sections below demonstrate available trigger events.

Subscribe to all events

You can subscribe to all trigger events in Portal by using the forward slash (/) or by selecting the Send me everything option in the HTML view of the API. The following is a sample JSON response value where all events have been subscribed to:

events="/"

Subscribe to all events for a specific item type

You can subscribe to specific events for a specific item type (items, users, or groups). Subscribing to events associated to a specific item type will trigger the webhook anytime one of these item types is added, modified, or deleted. The following is a sample JSON response value where events pertaining to all items have been subscribed to:

events=/items

Subscribe to all events pertaining to a specific user

You can subscribe to events associated with a specific user. The following is a sample JSON response value where only events associated to a specific user will trigger the webhook:

events=/users/<username>

Subscribe to all events pertaining to a specific group

You can subscribe to events associated with a specific group. The following is a sample JSON response value where only an update to a specific group will trigger the webhook:

events=/groups/<groupId>/update

Subscribe to more than one trigger event

You can subscribe to a combination of trigger events by separating the URIs with commas within the parameter. The following is a sample JSON response value where more than one trigger event has been subscribed to:

events=/items,/groups/<groupId1>,/groups/<groupId2>
