Targets in Webhooks

Targets are URL endpoints or Next Identity Connect integrations that receive and process notifications and send responses. Targets should support signed and encrypted JWT (JWS and JWE) formats.

Target systems are publicly accessible endpoints or Next Identity Connect integrations. The event itself will not contain personally identifiable information (PII) and, therefore, will be sent without authorization. .

Once the target system receives an event notification, it must verify the event's signature to ensure it originated from Next Identity and has not been intercepted. It is expected that the target will respond to the webhook alert with a 200 OK response as soon as it is received to prevent the system attempting to retry.

Webhooks allows for the configuration of multiple targets to receive event notifications.
