In this tutorial, you'll learn about Auth0 Webhook Integration. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices to help you understand and apply this topic effectively.

Auth0 Webhooks allow you to trigger external workflows on identity events like user registration, login, and profile updates.

// Webhook receiver endpoint
app.post('/auth0-webhook', express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }), (req, res) => {
  const secret = process.env.AUTH0_WEBHOOK_SECRET;
  const signature = req.headers['x-auth0-signature'];
  const expected = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(JSON.stringify(req.body))
    .digest('hex');

  if (signature !== expected) return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid signature' });

  const event = req.body;
  switch (event.type) {
    case 'user.created':
      await provisioningService.createUser(event.data);
      break;
    case 'user.updated':
      await provisioningService.updateUser(event.data);
      break;
    case 'user.deleted':
      await provisioningService.deactivateUser(event.data);
      break;
  }

  res.status(200).json({ received: true });
});

Webhook integration enables real-time synchronization between Auth0 and your backend systems.
