Webhooks
Get pushed an event when something changes instead of polling: the payload, signature verification, delivery guarantees and the event list.
A webhook is a URL of yours that Seayora POSTs to when something happens — a work order is created, a payment settles. Set them up under Settings → AI & connections → Webhooks; each one carries the events you chose and a signing secret.
Adding a webhook, changing where one sends or which events it carries, and showing its signing secret again ask for the same 6-digit confirmation code as the rest of Settings. Pausing or deleting one never does.
Payload
POST https://your-endpoint.example.com
Seayora-Event: work_order.created
Seayora-Delivery: 40213
Seayora-Signature: t=1786411896,v1=9f86d081884c7d…
{
"event": "work_order.created",
"created_at": "2026-08-11T01:31:00.000Z",
"account": "[email protected]",
"data": { "id": 318, "title": "Kitchen sink leaking", "urgency": "high" }
}Verifying
Compute HMAC-SHA256(secret, "<t>.<raw body>") and compare it to v1. Use the raw body, before any JSON parsing — re-serializing changes the bytes and the signature will not match. Reject anything whose t is more than a few minutes old to stop replays.
Delivery guarantees
- At least once. Answer 2xx quickly and process afterwards; if you answer slowly we retry and you will see the event twice. Deduplicate on Seayora-Delivery.
- Failures retry with growing gaps for roughly seven hours.
- Twenty consecutive failures pause the endpoint so it stops burning retries — resume it from the Webhooks screen once it is fixed.
