I am trying to set up webhooks with my Facebook Developer account (brand new to webhooks) for a Biz Facebook Page. Facebook requires the webhook to be validated and I cannot figure out how to do that in Zapier. Here is what Facebook is wanting 

Validating Verification Requests

Whenever your endpoint receives a verification request, it must:

  • Verify that the hub.verify_token value matches the string you set in the Verify Token field when you configure the Webhooks product in your App Dashboard (you haven't set up this token string yet).
  • Respond with the hub.challenge value.

I can see the test data come through on my zap but cant figure out how to move forward without verification.

Hi @Erica 

Unfortunately, Zapier Webhooks currently doesn’t support this capability.

@Troy Tessalone thanks for your response. Is there no known workaround?

You can try using this app for handling webhooks: https://webhook.site

Just wanted to follow up here to clarify that the Webhooks by Zapier app only supports basic authentication. 

To handle the verification requests it would be better to build a custom integration on our Developer platform. It’s free to do so and you can find out more details in our documentation here: https://platform.zapier.com/docs/zapier-intro :)
