Overview

A Webhook is an automated notification mechanism that is triggered by events that you define. When a webhook is triggered, it sends relevant information about the event to a web location that is listening for that specific event notification. The webhook is comprised of three simple components – the triggering event, the information about the event (the “payload”), and the web location listening for the event.

As a JFrog Platform administrator, you will be able to use Webhooks to trigger an action in another service in response to an event in Artifactory, either to notify users of the event or trigger some automated flow.

Since Artifactory plays an important role in the build and distribution process of your artifacts, it is helpful to know when important events are occuring. Webhooks enables you to be notified or notify other users when such events take place in Artifactory.

Webhooks enables you to integrate Artifactory processes with third party applications that are also essential to your build process. Some Artifactory events may trigger a process in another application, such as Jira, and Jenkins. For example, when a certain event is triggered, such as build promotion, Artifactory will send an HTTP POST payload to the Webhook’s configured URL and trigger a CI build in Jenkins.

How does it work?

Webhooks is based on the JFrog Event Service. This microservice is responsible for the distribution of your Webhook events asynchronously. To learn more about it, see System Architecture.

Creating Webhooks in the JFrog Platform

To start creating Webhooks, do the following:

Navigate to Administration Module | General | Webhooks.
Click New Webhook.

Enter the details of the following fields:

Field	Description
URL	Specifies the URL that the Webhook invokes. This will be the URL that Artifactory will send an HTTP POST request to.
Use Proxy	Indicates whether to send the Webhook through a proxy. You can select a proxy from the configured proxy servers list.
Event	Displays the list of Events in Artifactory, Xray, and Distribution that function as the event trigger for the Webhook.
Secret Token	Defines a secret authentication token that will be sent to the configured URL through the “X-JFrog-Event-Auth” HTTP header. This token can be used by the service that receives the event to authenticate the event emitter.
Custom Headers	Adds custom headers you wish to use to invoke the Webhook.

By default, private networks are not allowed to be used as Webhook targets for security reasons. If you would like to allow use of a private network, change the URL strict policy configuration in the system.yaml file: urlStrictPolicy: true. See Artifactory System YAML.

Some events can be applied to repositories, builds and Release Bundles:
Events such as artifact was deployed, moved, added can be applied on every repository in Artifactory or on a list of specific repositories, based on a specific list or by using include/exclude patterns.
Take note, if you select any local and/or remote repository, the Webhook will be applied on all existing repositories and any repositories you create in the future.

Events such as build was deployed, promoted, deleted can be applied on every new build that is uploaded to Artifactory or on a list of specific builds, based on a specific list or by using include/exclude patterns.

Release Bundle and Distribution events can be applied on every new Release Bundle or on a list of specific Release Bundles, based on a specific list or by using include/exclude patterns.

Testing a Webhook

You can test a Webhook using the Test button in the UI, to check the connectivity between Artifactory and the configured URL. The Webhook will be triggered manually, and a dummy payload will be sent to the configured URL.

Event Types

The following are the supported event types according to each domain with an example for each event of the payload that will be sent to the configured URL.

Domain: Artifact

Includes events that are triggered when certain artifact events occur in Artifactory:

Event: deployed

The Webhook is triggered when an artifact is deployed to a repository. You can select the repositories and repository paths on which the Webhook will be applied.

{
  "domain": "artifact",
  "event_type": "deployed",
  "data": {
    "repo_key": "example-repo-local",
    "path": "pipeinfo7.json",
    "name": "pipeinfo7.json",
    "sha256": "8b6cd18345075ff248487fed24e87ff0acff1454e761cc0676f78fc898dff7a7",
    "size": 203
  },
  "subscription_key": "jfdev-agent",
  "source": "jfrog/jfrt@01fsmwgxevmmcr1ajmvhfw1j9s"
}

Event: deleted

The Webhook is triggered when an artifact is deleted from a repository. You can select the repositories on which the Webhook will be applied.

{
  "repo_key":"sample_repo",
  "path":"sample_path_dir/sample_artifact",
  "name":"sample_artifact",
  "sha256":"ec1be623d148ed220f70f4f6125dc738b1d301a85b75e87c5b554fa3bb1b4141",
  "size":17848
}

Event: moved

The Webhook is triggered when an artifact is moved from a repository. You can select the repositories and repository paths on which the Webhook will be applied. The Webhook will apply on the repositories from which the artifact is moved.

{
  "repo_key":"sample_repo",
  "path":"sample_path_dir/sample_artifact",
  "name":"sample_artifact",
  "size":0,
  "source_repo_path":"sample_repo/sample_path_dir/sample_artifact",
  "target_repo_path":"target_repo/sample_path_dir/sample_artifact"
}

Event: copied

}

Event: cached

The Webhook is triggered for each artifact that is pulled from a new remote repository. Webhooks are generated when downloading remote artifacts, for example: npm install busybox. If a webhook can be generated for push replication and the downloading of a remote artifact then it should also work for pull replication as well.

{
  "repo_key":"sample_repo",
  "path":"sample_path_dir/sample_artifact",
  "name":"sample_artifact",
