Hello Makers,
I have a very simple requirement. I’m sure I just missed the solution.
I want to secure my webhook with an APIKEY. So deposit a key with Make so that only one request with the key in the header comes through.
As I said, it’s certainly simple, but I don’t see it.
Thanks for the help
Yaenz

Hi @Yaenz
1. enable “Get request headers”
2. Put your token in the header
3. Put a filter between the webhook module and the next module and check if the token matches your token.
Cheers,
Gijs

I’m putting my response in a details block to not blow out the thread since the info is pretty similar.

If I had multiple API-Keys - lets say for customers -, I’d simply check the list of keys and filter on the condition it exists?
Nice!
