Overview

Your Anon organization can subscribe to webhook events to receive push‑style notifications whenever important events occur during the data‑migration lifecycle. Our webhook service gives you:
  • High‑availability delivery with automatic retries
  • A visual Event Log and Replay UI in the dashboard (/webhooks)
  • Cryptographic signatures so you can verify that the payload really came from us
Typical use‑cases include:
  • Kicking off downstream processing when a migration finishes
  • Updating your own UI in real‑time as tasks progress
  • Alerting when a login workflow is rejected or a migration fails

Quickstart

  1. Navigate to dashboard.anon.com/webhooks and click + Add endpoint.
  2. Enter the HTTPS URL (e.g. https://api.example.com/anon/webhooks) where you want to recieve events.
  3. Click on Create. You’ll start receiving events immediately.

Testing

  • You can create a Svix Play endpoint to test receiving events
  • You can also send example events (svix.ping) through the Testing tab of your endpoint

Verifying requests

Each request includes seven headers:
string
Indicates the MIME types that are acceptable for the response
number
The length of the request body in bytes
string
application/json
string
Unique message ID (e.g. msg_2ycTlwDkllobhXwGILmiziO9xnz)
string
Cryptographic signature for verification (e.g. v1,cWXqN0eZ2edTtYgF+LfDDmNLgNOiSVx+OOq9WU3MDkw=)
number
Unix timestamp of when the webhook was sent (e.g. 1750133013)
string
Identifies the webhook sender (e.g. Svix-Webhooks/1.66.0 (sender-9YMgn; +https://www.svix.com/http-sender/))
  • You can copy the singing secret from the webhook page to verify the signature of webhook events
  • You can set custom headers in the Advanced tab of your webhook

Event types

A migration_task.failed event may still result in available files for the corresponding task. We recommend polling the files API for partial extractions.

Payload format

All events share the same envelope:

Resource-based object schemas

Here are the schemas for different resource objects:

Retry logic

  • We retry with exponential back‑off (2 attempts).
  • Return any 2xx status code to acknowledge delivery. You can see the history of events under Message Attempts in your webhook.
