# Webhook Actions

The `webhook` action will send an HTTP POST to the URL of your choosing. The body contains information about the deployment, and a signature to verify the webhook is valid and originated at Sleuth.

## Body

The body of the webhook will look something like this:

```
{
  "organization": {
    "slug": "myorg"
  },
  "name": "791f0e0",
  "on": "2021-02-03T00:35:09.823706+00:00",
  "branch": "master",
  "revision": "791f0e0ce8612717da226d73caac7790e0de4032",
  "environment": {
    "slug": "production"
  },
  "changeSource": {
    "slug": "sleuth-test"
  },
  "health": "healthy",
  "author": {
    "email": "nobody@example.com"
  }
}
```

## Signature

The webhook will contain two headers you can use to safely validate the message:

* `X-SLEUTH-TIMESTAMP` - The unix timestamp, in seconds, of when the webhook was created
* `X-SLEUTH-SIGNATURE` - The signature of the timestamp and request body, signed with the API key

The signature follows the format Slack uses to validate their webhooks. For more information how it works and how to validate the signature, see [the Slack docs](https://api.slack.com/authentication/verifying-requests-from-slack)

The only difference is Sleuth uses the API key from your Sleuth [organization](/sleuth-dora/settings/organization/details.md) as the signing key.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.sleuth.io/sleuth-dora/sleuth-automations/actions/webhook.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
