Rotate the webhook signing secret

Rotate the webhook signing secret, through Ovok's Signals gateway.

Rotate the webhook signing secret

MethodPath
POST/v1/signals/api/subscriber/{id}/webhook/rotate-secret
  • Sandbox: available
  • Staging: available
  • Production: unknown

Mints a new Standard Webhooks signing secret (whsec_ and 32 random bytes) and returns it this once. Every delivery carries webhook-id and webhook-timestamp; once the subscriber has a secret it also carries webhook-signature, so a receiver verifies with the Standard Webhooks library. The secret it replaces keeps signing until previousSecretExpiresAt (24 h), so webhook-signature holds both and the receiver switches with no gap. Each rotation keeps only the secret it replaces, so rotate again only once the receiver uses the new one. The first call mints the subscriber's first secret. A MANAGER rotates any subscriber of its tenant; a SUBSCRIBER only its own.

Through ovok

  • Who can call it: Manager apps, and users whose access policy grants the capabilities.
  • Capabilities, all required: signals_webhooks:update. Project admins have every capability; client applications get no admin bypass.
  • It can reach any patient of your project without naming one, so it is for callers that reach every patient: project admins, manager or submitter apps, and anyone whose Patient access has no criteria.

200The new secret; it cannot be read back later.
400A path value holds a character ovok does not send to Signals, such as a raw : or +. Percent-encode it. The query carries a raw #, or more than 200 parameters.
401Your ovok access token, or your client id and secret, are missing or invalid.
403ovok refused the call: you lack a capability this route needs, or your session has no project, or your access covers only some patients. From Signals: Authenticated, but the client's role does not permit this, or it is not attached to the patient. Or: A SUBSCRIBER named another subscriber.
404No such subscriber in this tenant.
409Your project has no Signals tenant of its own (SIGNALS_TENANT_NOT_OWN), or it is moving to another one.
415The body is not JSON.

504Signals did not answer in time.
