Inbound webhooks

Endpoints that receive events from external tools (monitoring, CI/CD, SIEM/EDR, ITSM bridges, SNMP gateways) and turn them into tickets or updates. Requests are authenticated with an HMAC signature computed with the connector’s secret.

Receive an event from a monitoring, DevOps or security tool

POST /api/connectors/{vendor}/{project}

Point your tool’s webhook at this URL. project is the exoCortex tenant/project the connector was configured for in Core → Integrations. The payload is the vendor’s native webhook format and exoCortex normalizes it.

Authentication depends on the vendor:

• Vendors with native signing are verified with their own scheme: GitHub X-Hub-Signature-256, GitLab X-Gitlab-Token, PagerDuty X-PagerDuty-Signature, Opsgenie Authorization: GenieKey, Statuspage.
• All other vendors use the exoCortex scheme: X-Exo-Timestamp + X-Exo-Signature: v1=HMAC-SHA256(secret, "<timestamp>.<raw body>"), with a 300-second tolerance. See Webhook signatures. The legacy X-NH-Connector-Signature (hex HMAC of the body, no timestamp) is deprecated.

Authentication: None: the request is authenticated by the signature described above.

project	path	string	yes
X-Exo-Timestamp	header	string	no	Unix time in seconds when the request was signed. Required when X-Exo-Signature is sent.
X-Exo-Signature	header	string	no	v1= + hex HMAC-SHA256(secret, “<X-Exo-Timestamp>.<raw body>”). Several comma-separated values are allowed.

Receive an event for an integration or ITSM bridge

POST /api/integration/webhook/{integration_id}

Generic inbound endpoint for integrations configured in Core → Integration Center (for example ServiceNow, Jira, Zendesk, BMC or a generic REST source). The payload is mapped with the integration’s field mapping.

Signature: X-Exo-Timestamp + X-Exo-Signature (recommended). Otherwise one of X-Bridge-Signature, X-Hub-Signature-256 or X-Signature carrying sha256=<hex HMAC of the raw body>. A signature is mandatory when the integration has a webhook secret, and integrations in webhook mode must have one.

Authentication: None: the request is authenticated by the signature described above.

Parameters

Name	In	Type	Required	Description
integration_id	path	string	yes
X-Exo-Timestamp	header	string	no	Unix time in seconds when the request was signed. Required when X-Exo-Signature is sent.
X-Exo-Signature	header	string	no	v1= + hex HMAC-SHA256(secret, “<X-Exo-Timestamp>.<raw body>”). Several comma-separated values are allowed.

Receive an SNMP trap from a gateway

POST /api/snmp-gateway/trap/{tenant}

Your SNMP-to-HTTP gateway converts traps to JSON and posts them here.
