Webhook payload

{
  "event": "post.published",
  "timestamp": "2026-02-24T10:30:00Z",
  "data": {
    "id": "post_abc123",
    "title": "Q1 Company Update",
    "channel": {
      "id": "ch_company_news",
      "name": "Company News"
    },
    "author": {
      "id": "usr_def456",
      "name": "Sarah Chen"
    },
    "url": "https://yourcompany.firmreader.com/posts/post_abc123"
  }
}

Webhook security

Every webhook request includes a X-Firmreader-Signature header containing an HMAC-SHA256 signature of the payload. Verify this signature using the webhook secret provided when creating the endpoint.

const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifyWebhook(payload, signature, secret) {
  const expected = crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(payload)
    .digest('hex');
  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
    Buffer.from(signature),
    Buffer.from(expected)
  );
}
