Webhook Notifications

Listen for events on your Openfort account so your integration can automatically trigger reactions.

What is a webhook?#

Openfort uses webhooks to push real-time notifications to you about your transactions. All webhooks use HTTPS and deliver a JSON payload that can be used by your application. You can use webhook feeds to do things like:

  • Granting users a game item when a transaction is confirmed.
  • Store all transaction events in your own database for custom reporting/retention

Steps to receive webhooks#

You can start receiving real-time events in your app using the steps:

  1. Create a local endpoint to receive requests
  2. Register your development webhook endpoint
  3. Test that your webhook endpoint is working properly
  4. Register your production webhook endpoint

Webhook object#

The webhook object contains the following fields:


_10
{
_10
"data": {
_10
"id": "tin_c502d628-5bb3-42f2-b8f5-62ba4d71df3a",
_10
"createdAt": 1689869074,
_10
"object": "transactionIntent",
_10
"etc":"..."
_10
},
_10
"type": "transaction_intent.succeeded",
_10
"date": 1689869074
_10
}

Where the type will be one of the following:

  • transaction_intent.succeeded: The transaction intent has arrived on-chain and is confirmed.
  • transaction_intent.failed: The transaction intent has arrived on-chain and is reverted.
  • transaction_intent.cancelled: The transaction intent parameters were not met.
  • transaction_intent.broadcast: The transaction intent was broadcasted.

And the data will be a transaction intent object.

Register your development webhook endpoint#

Register your publicly accessible HTTPS URL in the Openfort dashboard. Then decide the type of webhook you want to receive.

You can create a tunnel to your localhost server using a tool like ngrok. For example: https://8733-191-204-177-89.sa.ngrok.io/webhooks

Test that your webhook endpoint is working properly#

Send a few test transactions to check that your webhook endpoint is receiving the events.

You can specify the number of block confirmations you want to wait before getting notified of a transaction making it on chain. The default is 0 (i.e. as soon as the transaction arrives on chain).

To do so, you need to include the confirmationBlocks body parameter when creating the transaction intent.
