Is using Webhook secured | Zapier Community

Hey guys,

I am looking to create a zap that is triggered when a user is buying an ecommerce item in my webflow site and trigger an http post request.

The thing is, in the URL i need to have an api private key.

Is it safe to use it this way? Is the weebhook url secured and not exposed?

Thanks a lot,

Hi @DuoDiv

Good question.

The Webhooks app can handle API Keys/Tokens in Headers, query string parameters, or body parameters.

Basic Auth is also supported.

Hi @Troy Tessalone, thanks for the reply,

Yes i know, but this is not what i need. The Webhook url contain my key.

Is it safe to put my private key in the webhook url?

@DuoDiv

Yes, that’s supported.

The API request is not being sent via a browser.

Hey mate :)

is there a way to add data to the request from a form submition that is submited during the checkout?

for example data from the checkout itself?

@DuoDiv

That would have to be configured on the app that is making the webhook request.

i am using webflow, and using the new order trigger.

@DuoDiv

The data points would need to be available on the Webflow New Order trigger data in order to map to other Zap action steps.
