Verifying Webhook Signatures

For security, all webhook requests include an HMAC signature in the X-QR-Signature header.

Signature Format

X-QR-Signature: sha256=<hmac_hex_digest>

Verification Example (JavaScript)

const crypto = require('crypto');

function verifySignature(body, signature, secret) {
  const expected = 'sha256=' + crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(JSON.stringify(body))
    .digest('hex');
  
  return signature === expected;
}

In Zapier

Use Zapier's Code by Zapier action to verify signatures:

• Add a Code action after your webhook trigger
• Pass the body, signature header, and your secret
• Return whether the signature is valid
• Add a Filter to only continue if valid

Managing Your Connection

Pause/Resume

Toggle the integration on/off without disconnecting. Paused connections won't receive events.

Update Events

Check or uncheck event types to control which events are sent to Zapier.

Regenerate Secret

If your secret is compromised, regenerate it. This invalidates the old secret immediately.

Disconnect

Remove the Zapier connection entirely. You'll need to reconfigure to use Zapier again.

Rate Limits

• 10 events per second per team
• Events that exceed the limit are queued and delivered with a short delay
• For high-volume scenarios, consider filtering events in Zapier

Troubleshooting

Events Not Arriving

• Check that the integration is Active (not paused)
• Verify the webhook URL is correct
• Check Recent Deliveries for errors
• Ensure the event type is enabled

Delivery Failures

Check the Last Error field on the Zapier integration page. Common issues:

• Invalid webhook URL - The URL may have changed in Zapier
• Zapier account limits - You may have exceeded your Zapier plan's task limit
• Timeout - The webhook didn't respond within 10 seconds

Signature Verification Fails

• Ensure you're using the raw request body for verification
• Don't modify or parse the body before hashing
• Check that your secret matches exactly (no extra whitespace)
