Configuring Webhooks

Developers can follow the below guide to learn how to listen to webhooks:

  1. Open Webhook Settings
    Go to the Coinflow Admin Dashboard → Developers → Webhooks

  2. Add a new Webhook URL

  3. Generate a Webhook Validation Key

  4. Configure Webhook Settings
    Select Latest Webhook Version > Select all events to listen to > Save.

  5. Add an Endpoint on Your Server
    Create a POST route to receive events from Rapid.

    router.post('/coinflow-webhook', async (req, res) => { try { const { data } = req.body; const authHeader = req.get('Authorization'); //Ensure the Authorization matches your Validation Key to validate that this request is coming from Coinflow if (authHeader !== process.env.COINFLOW_VALIDATION_KEY) { throw new ControllerError('User not allowed', 401); } console.log(Event: ${data}); handleEvent(); // Add your custom logic here res.sendStatus(200); } catch (e) { handleError(res, e); } });

ℹ️

Coinflow will retry sending webhook events until:

  • Your server returns a 200 OK
  • Or 36 hours passes
  • Note: Your server must respond within 5 seconds or the request will timeout and retry.
