Webhooks
Enterprise feature Only available to select enterprise accounts. Please upgrade your contract to include Webhooks by contacting our Enterprise sales team.
Create webhook
Our API supports webhooks to notify your application of specific events in real-time. This allows you to build integrations that react immediately to changes in our system. You must be an Admin on the account to setup webhooks.
Field | Description |
---|
Payload URL | The payload URL is the URL of the server that will receive the webhook POST requests. |
Secret (optional) | Setting a webhook secret allows you to ensure that POST requests sent to the Payload URL are from Sonix. When you set a secret, you'll receive the X-Webhook-Signature header in the webhook POST request. |
Verifying Webhook Signatures
When you set a webhook secret, we generate a signature for each payload using HMAC-SHA256. This signature is sent in the X-Webhook-Signature
header
Subscribe to events
When you create a webhook, you specify a URL and subscribe to event types. When an event that your webhook is subscribed to occurs, Sonix will send an HTTP request with data about the event to the URL that you specified. If your server is set up to listen for webhook deliveries at that URL, it can take action when it receives one.
Events
Event | Description |
---|
Transcription finished | When a transcript has been fully generated by Sonix |
Translation finished | When a translation has completed |
